Tutu Tuesday in Carson, California #tututuesday

Okay, fellow dance lovers, it’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, there’s just something so special about the sheer, romantic feel of a classic tutu. Like a ballet version of Cinderella's ball gown. Maybe it’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 doesn’t even need a ballerina in it, but it just *demands* the spotlight. But don't forget the *Princess Tutu* — that one’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 – who’s saying you can’t do both?

Oh, and the modern ones! Don’t even get me started. The *Modern Tutus*, with their unexpected shapes and edgy fabrics – they're all about that contemporary flair. It’s basically a “modern masterpiece” meets “dancewear masterpiece.” These are your more unique and less traditional options, but they still capture the magic of ballet.

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

And speaking of weakness, let’s talk about the *weight* of a tutu! These beautiful masterpieces can be heavy – but trust me, when you wear one, it doesn’t feel like that. You feel light on your feet, like you’re floating. This might just be the magic of the tutu… I’m pretty sure every dancer’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* – duh!
• A sky blue *Bell Tutu* to match my dreamy dancing mood.
• And a *Modern Tutu* – 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. It’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, elegant… whatever you feel inside. There’s no one way to be a tutu-wearing dancer.

Oh, and before I forget, I can’t mention Tutu Tuesday in Carson, California, without saying that Carson City has a strong ballet tradition, so there’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 it’s not Tuesday!), take some pictures, share them online with #tututuesday #CarsonCA #dance and tell the world how much you love ballet! Who’s with me?
