Chatou, Île-de-France: Tutu Tuesday Adventures in the City of Lights G'day, fellow dance enthusiasts! It's your Aussie ballet girl, Sarah, checking in from the utterly charming city of Chatou, Île-de-France. And what better way to celebrate a Tuesday in Paris than with a #TutuTuesday? This week, I'm channeling the effortless Parisian chic vibe with a tutu that's as soft as a summer breeze. I'm talking classic lines, a hint of romance, and a splash of that "je ne sais quoi" that only the French can achieve. Think floaty, sheer layers with a touch of blush pink - a dream for any tutu enthusiast. It's the kind of tutu you'd wear to a garden party in the countryside, but also for a night out in the city – and, of course, for a class at one of the many fantastic ballet studios here in Paris. Speaking of ballet studios, Chatou has some hidden gems. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the vibrant dance scene here with a visit to the *École de Danse de Chatou.* They have a beautiful space, great teachers, and most importantly, a warm and welcoming community that embraced me with open arms. The locals are passionate about dance, and they really know their stuff. Chatou, I must say, is an absolute treasure trove for ballet lovers. It's brimming with that timeless French romance and grace that inspires and elevates every performance. There's a sense of history here that resonates with every step, every plié. I can see why France has always been such a beacon for dancers worldwide – it's a country that lives and breathes ballet. For my #TutuTuesday adventure in Chatou, I was also lucky enough to get my hands on some local designer pieces – and let me tell you, French designers know how to make a tutu truly shine. The attention to detail is incredible. So, if you find yourself in this captivating region, make sure to treat yourself to a #TutuTuesday like no other. Indulge in a dose of Parisian elegance and dance your heart out! You might just be surprised by the magic you find within the Parisian dance studios, right here in Chatou. And who knows, maybe your #TutuTuesday adventure will inspire you to try a new tutu style. From classic tutus, perfect for rehearsals, to the contemporary tutu that offers freedom of movement, or the lavishly decorated tutus designed for special performances – there's a tutu out there for every dancer. The beauty of a tutu, I believe, lies in its ability to reflect your unique style. You can choose to go bold and playful or refine and ethereal, but above all, let your personality shine through! Some top tips for a stylish #TutuTuesday: - Keep it comfortable and versatile. Your tutu should allow you to move with ease, both in class and around town. - A dash of colour and personality. Whether it's a bold hue or a playful print, add a pop of your personality to your ensemble. - A touch of accessories. A statement necklace or some pretty earrings can take your tutu look to the next level. - Playful, sophisticated, chic, or vintage – explore different styles and let your inner dance diva shine.
