Tutu Tuesday in Reims, Grand Est, France #tututuesday
G’day lovelies! This Aussie ballerina is back with another dose of #tututuesday from the stunning city of Reims in the Grand Est region of France. Let me tell you, Reims is truly a gem, especially when it comes to embracing the elegance and history of ballet. It’s like a magical time warp back to the golden age of classical dance.
As soon as I stepped off the train, the Parisian vibe with a dash of historic charm took over, and Reims is positively teeming with history. Talk about your majestic cathedrals, sprawling parks, and of course, those stunning old ballet schools - I practically saw the ghosts of famous ballerinas flitting through the air. 👻
Today was all about taking in Reims’ ballet scene. Firstly, let’s talk about the absolutely divine local ballet company, the Ballet de Reims. These dancers are exceptional, with a graceful fluidity that just takes my breath away! Their dedication to tradition shines through in each and every performance. It’s like a window into the timeless beauty of ballet.
Now, I'm all for tradition, but a girl can't resist a bit of modern flair, can she? Let's be honest, it's about the tutus after all! And you guys, these Reims tutus are truly next level! I stumbled upon the most enchanting boutique tucked away in the old town. A hidden treasure trove of exquisite dancewear, from classic tutus to cutting-edge modern pieces. I simply couldn't resist. Imagine my joy when I discovered they had a gorgeous collection of #tututuesday-worthy pieces! It’s like they knew I was coming.
One tutu that stole my heart was a magnificent **Romantic** tutu. You know, the kind that sweeps across the stage with an ethereal presence? It's got these cascading layers of tulle that almost shimmer and float on their own. It's pure ballet magic! For the more modern ballerina, I fell for a sleek, **contemporary** tutu crafted with sharp angles and minimal tulle. It was fierce yet refined, with just enough glitz and glamour to set the stage ablaze. And for those who prefer to twirl in style, there was a breathtaking **Bell** tutu, cascading like a princess’s gown. Honestly, I think I may need a whole suitcase dedicated to these stunning tutus!.
Let's be real, what is #tututuesday without a photo shoot? And with such magnificent backdrops in Reims, the options were endless. I had a ball snapping some seriously glamorous pics with those iconic cathedrals as my backdrop. Let’s just say my Instagram feed is about to get a whole lot more elegant!
But, beyond the fancy photo ops, I'm inspired by the sheer dedication and artistry of the dancers here in Reims. Every twirl and leap tells a story, evokes an emotion. It's not just about physical beauty, it's about passion, creativity, and the power of movement to express the human experience.
Oh, and I must say a big shout-out to the amazing staff at the Reims Opéra, who were so welcoming and helpful! The atmosphere there was just electrifying. You know, that sense of pure joy and anticipation before a performance. And speaking of performances, I just know that my time in Reims won’t be complete without witnessing the ballet magic unfold live. I’ve already booked tickets to a special showing of **Giselle**!.
So there you have it, lovelies, another day, another #tututuesday in the most elegant of cities - Reims. Reims has truly captured my heart and I know I'll be returning to this magical city soon, for more tutu-filled fun, historical adventures, and breathtaking ballet performances. Stay tuned!
