Tutu Tuesday 136

Tutu Tuesday in Stratford: A Celebration of Ballet and Style Okay, fellow fashionistas and ballet lovers, gather ’round! It’s Tutu Tuesday in Stratford-upon-Avon, and the air is buzzing with excitement. Let me tell you, as a professional dancer, it’s more than just about wearing a pretty skirt. It’s a statement. It’s a dance with history. And yes, a fabulous fashion statement that takes my breath away every time. Today’s inspiration comes straight from the heart of Shakespeare’s birthplace, and as a Stratford girl, it doesn’t get more iconic than this. The air crackles with history. Imagine swan lake tutus whirling by, maybe even a splash of Giselle's dreamy gauze or a glimpse of the regal grand pas de deux of “Sleeping Beauty”. It’s all happening here. Today is the day we embrace the tulle and revel in the dance! So, here’s how we do Tutu Tuesday in Stratford: - **Coffee and Conversation:** Starting with the essential morning pick-me-up - a latte at my favourite local cafe. I paired it with a **classic tutu, romantic with its tiers of soft tulle** . It’s perfect for running errands and making my way to the rehearsal space. - **Studio Glamour:** At the dance studio, I'm feeling super motivated with my** ballerina bun, a splash of dramatic eyeliner and my go-to "en pointe" tutu**. It's classic, structured and I feel absolutely empowered by its power to convey elegant movement. - **Lunch Time Chic:** For a casual, afternoon lunch with my fellow dancers, a simple **tutu, paired with a statement blouse or a cute tee, is my perfect match.** It’s comfortable enough for a quick bite, but still brings the classic ballet aesthetic to our table. - **Stratford Promenade:** The Stratford streets have become a tutu wonderland today! I spotted fellow tutu lovers, from little dancers in their first costumes, to a group of women having a “tutu-licious” afternoon tea! I loved seeing how everyone is embracing this playful trend in their own way. - **Gala Glam:** As the day evolves into evening, it's time for a little more **dramatic flair. A long, elegant, flowing tutu in deep red, black or a striking sapphire hue**, paired with fabulous heels and a Statement necklace, is always my pick for a special evening. A perfect choice for dinner or even the theatre. The joy of #tututuesday? It’s not just about dancing around in tutus; it’s about embracing the creativity, beauty, and power of this classic symbol of ballet. Today in Stratford, Tutu Tuesday has created a shared love of dance, bringing a vibrant splash of colour and a joyful energy to our streets. #tututuesday #Stratford #balletfashion #ballerinalife #dancersofinstagram Whether you're a seasoned ballerina, a dance enthusiast, or simply love a fabulous outfit, there's always a tutu style waiting to bring some joy to your day!
