Goussainville, ΓƒΖ’Γ…Β½le-de-France: Tutu Tuesday in the City of Lights #tututuesday Well, hello gorgeous ballet lovers! It's your girl, Chloe here, reporting live from the City of Lights – that's right, Paris! I'm on a whirlwind tour, soaking up the European culture and, of course, experiencing the incredible ballet scene here. This week, it's all about Tutu Tuesday – the ultimate day for twirling, leaping, and celebrating everything that's fabulous about ballet. ** Parisian Style Meets Ballerina Flair ** Paris is, of course, synonymous with fashion and style. But did you know that the city also boasts some truly phenomenal ballet companies? From the prestigious Paris Opera Ballet to the smaller, more intimate troupes, there's a ballet style for every taste bud. Speaking of tastes, today we're indulging in a Tutu Tuesday extravaganza that blends classic elegance with modern Parisian chic. I'm rocking a romantic tutu – think layers of soft tulle and a hint of blush pink, perfectly offset by a sleek black leotard. And guess what? The French girls are rocking some amazing tutu-inspired looks as well! There's a real Parisian take on the traditional, with touches of leather, chunky boots, and even a splash of colour. I saw one girl with a hot pink tulle skirt layered over a black sweater – so chic, and so Parisian! It's all about finding that perfect balance between classical ballet grace and Parisian street style. ** A Taste of the French Ballet Scene ** Of course, no visit to Paris is complete without experiencing some local ballet. So I hit up the Atelier Ballet in the trendy Goutte d'Or neighborhood for a delightful dance class. And oh my, what a treat! I met some incredibly talented dancers – both professionals and beginners. There's something quite magical about sharing that shared passion for ballet in a different country. The dance teacher was French – oh la la! I felt like I was stepping into a classic ballet film. They took a very different approach than I'm used to, it was a bit slower and more graceful. I actually learned a lot – there's a subtle difference in the way they emphasize body control and precision compared to Aussie ballet techniques. ** A Twist of #TutuTuesday ** If you're thinking about a Parisian ballet adventure, you've gotta try a "Tutu Tuesday" in Goussainville, about an hour north of Paris. That's right, Goussainville – this small, charming town is hosting its own ballet-themed Tuesday. Think a whole day dedicated to all things ballet! There are ballet performances, workshops, open studios – everything from a beginner's ballet class to a high-intensity contemporary dance session. It's an opportunity to be surrounded by dancers, soak up the artistic energy, and let your inner ballerina shine through! ** Tutus for Everyone! ** And no matter what your style or skill level, Tutu Tuesday is a chance to celebrate this exquisite art form. From the most intricate romantic tutus to the contemporary, avant-garde ones, there's a tutu out there for every ballerina – whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out. It's about unleashing your inner beauty and embracing the grace and freedom of ballet. So go on, gorgeous ballet lovers, dust off your ballet shoes and your best tutu – let's dance our hearts out this Tutu Tuesday. From the streets of Paris to the charming towns of ΓƒΖ’Γ…Β½le-de-France, this week is all about celebrating the beauty and passion of ballet! #tututuesday **And remember – every day can be Tutu Tuesday if you let it! **
