Tutu Tuesday in Carson, California #tututuesday

Okay, fellow dance lovers, itā€™s officially Tutu Tuesday in Carson, California and I am ready to *twirl*! We all know that Tuesdays are for tutus, right? Like, it's a universal law. But seriously, as a professional ballerina here in sunny SoCal, Tuesdays are for tutus because we're kicking off the week in style, and there's no better way to do that than with a twirl-worthy tutu.

And guess what? Today is extra special. We're hitting up the most awesome dance store in town: Dance World in Carson, CA! They have an entire section dedicated to tutus, like a rainbow of tulle and sequins. It's a dream come true. You know, thereā€™s just something so special about the sheer, romantic feel of a classic tutu. Like a ballet version of Cinderella's ball gown. Maybe itā€™s the flow of the fabric, the delicate construction, the sheer amount of tulle involved. Every tutu has a story to tell, a vision to inspire.

Let's talk tutu styles, because this is where the real magic happens. We have our classics, like the *Romantic Tutu*, a true embodiment of grace and beauty, perfect for the delicate ballerinas out there. And then there's the *Bell Tutu*, with that gorgeous bell shape and cascading tiers of tulle. So majestic and breathtaking, it almost doesnā€™t even need a ballerina in it, but it just *demands* the spotlight. But don't forget the *Princess Tutu* ā€” that oneā€™s a show-stopper. So whimsical, with its soft layers and whimsical feel, I love it! You could wear it on stage or to brunch with your bestie ā€“ whoā€™s saying you canā€™t do both?

Oh, and the modern ones! Donā€™t even get me started. The *Modern Tutus*, with their unexpected shapes and edgy fabrics ā€“ they're all about that contemporary flair. Itā€™s basically a ā€œmodern masterpieceā€ meets ā€œdancewear masterpiece.ā€ These are your more unique and less traditional options, but they still capture the magic of ballet.

But enough talk ā€“ let's get to the action! Iā€™m here at Dance World, and Iā€™ve just spotted my favorite ā€“ the classic *Romantic Tutu*. Thereā€™s a blush pink version thatā€™s so delicately made, with tiny, sequined embellishments and several layers of tulle that are just begging to be twirled. Seriously, this oneā€™s making me weak in the knees.

And speaking of weakness, letā€™s talk about the *weight* of a tutu! These beautiful masterpieces can be heavy ā€“ but trust me, when you wear one, it doesnā€™t feel like that. You feel light on your feet, like youā€™re floating. This might just be the magic of the tutuā€¦ Iā€™m pretty sure every dancerā€™s had that magical moment where they put on a tutu and suddenly they can twirl higher, jump lighter, and the entire world around them is shimmering with the magic of the stage lights.

Here are some of my #tututuesday must-haves from Dance World that are going straight into my wardrobe:

  • A blush pink *Romantic Tutu* ā€“ duh!
  • A sky blue *Bell Tutu* to match my dreamy dancing mood.
  • And a *Modern Tutu* ā€“ because every dancer needs an edge in their wardrobe!

And it's not just about the looks. A tutu brings confidence. There's a certain aura, an extra layer of *powwow* to your moves. Itā€™s like the most stylish way to embrace the beauty and strength of dance. Every tutu is a chance to express yourself, a chance to dance your heart out! You can feel powerful, fierce, graceful, elegantā€¦ whatever you feel inside. Thereā€™s no one way to be a tutu-wearing dancer.

Oh, and before I forget, I canā€™t mention Tutu Tuesday in Carson, California, without saying that Carson City has a strong ballet tradition, so thereā€™s no shortage of gorgeous dance stores or awesome studios, all full of inspiring ballerinas ready to twirl!

So let's make today about tutus. Put on your favorite tutu (even if itā€™s not Tuesday!), take some pictures, share them online with #tututuesday #CarsonCA #dance and tell the world how much you love ballet! Whoā€™s with me?
