Tutu Tuesday in Vaulx-en-Velin, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France - #tututuesday
G'day, fashionistas and fellow ballet lovers! It's your girl, Amelia, back with another post from the heart of France. This week, I'm bringing you all the latest on the exciting world of ballet in Vaulx-en-Velin, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and how the local scene is embracing the ever-so-fabulous #tututuesday movement!
Now, let's be honest, when it comes to ballet, France has always been a heavyweight in the game. Think Paris Opera Ballet, the exquisite tutus, and those legendary dancers – it's pure ballet heaven! But guess what? Vaulx-en-Velin is holding its own with its own vibrant community of ballerinas, from budding young talent to seasoned professionals. It's a ballet scene that's not just about graceful pirouettes and perfect penchés, it's about passion, dedication, and a whole lot of fun.
And this week, Vaulx-en-Velin has been embracing the fun-loving spirit of #tututuesday in a truly inspiring way! Every Tuesday, the city's streets come alive with tutus! It's a sight to behold! You'll see ballet dancers of all ages and skill levels flaunting their twirl-worthy attire – and let me tell you, it's a joy to watch! It's like a vibrant, tulle-clad rainbow dancing down the street.
But here's the best part: the #tututuesday movement isn't just a fashion parade. It's a celebration of everything ballet:
- **From traditional romantic tutus with tiers and layers of tulle, the kind you'd see on a sugar plum fairy, to the modern, edgy styles that are all about sharp lines and bold colours, the diversity is amazing.**
- **Locals are rocking tutus made of everything from luxurious silk to playful, everyday fabric, even denim!**
- **Vaulx-en-Velin’s embrace of #tututuesday shows the world that this city isn’t afraid to express itself through the magic of dance, no matter the style. You could say it's taking “breaking the mould” to a whole new level, and that’s pretty damn cool!**
- **The local ballet studio, 'Le Grand Jeté,' has embraced #tututuesday in a huge way!** It's actually transformed the studio into a little #tututuesday haven with weekly classes dedicated to embracing the spirit of #tututuesday with fun routines that involve both classical ballet and more contemporary styles.
Every Tuesday, dancers at Le Grand Jeté have a 'Tutu Tuesday' themed class. It's a riot of creativity where they mix and match styles and colours, play around with different tulle designs, and they all get into it, you can really feel the passion and joy in the air. You know those 'what to wear to a fancy dress party?' brain cramps that leave you standing in your undies wondering what to do with your life? Well, #tututuesday eliminates that drama – there’s just a sense of 'just put it on, and own it, girl!' and it's incredible.
There’s a sense of inclusivity that just radiates from Vaulx-en-Velin's embrace of #tututuesday – everyone's encouraged to express themselves. The movement even transcends the actual dance studio and into the everyday lives of Vaulx-en-Velin residents! They have turned Tuesday's into a visual celebration, creating #tututuesday moments throughout the city: at local cafes, on public transport, even the library has had a 'read with a tutu' morning. It's a really fantastic sight!
In Vaulx-en-Velin, #tututuesday isn't just a hashtag, it's a movement. A testament to the love of dance, the spirit of community and the desire to express themselves with a little bit of tutus and a whole lot of joy!
And honestly? Who knew ballet in France could be this much fun? This #tututuesday experience has given me a whole new appreciation for ballet in Vaulx-en-Velin and made me excited to explore what the ballet scene has to offer beyond the well-known Paris Opera. This is truly a movement that deserves recognition and it's amazing to see how this city in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes has made its own unique impact on #tututuesday!
Until next time, my lovelies, keep your tutus ready, keep dancing, and always keep that joy flowing!
Stay stylish!
