Tutu Tuesday 18246

Tutu Tuesday in Sannois, Ile-de-France, France #tututuesday G'day, dance lovers! It's your girl, Ellie, back with another Tutu Tuesday adventure. Today, we're trading the sunny beaches of Australia for the cobblestone streets of Sannois, Ile-de-France, a little town just outside Paris. This French city's known for its rich history, and its dedication to ballet is pretty epic. As a dancer, seeing the balletic history all around me in France has been pretty mind-blowing. Walking through Paris, the sheer number of people studying ballet is wild. It's amazing how ballet just oozes out of every street corner here, and Sannois, a small town in this region, is no exception. You feel the energy – the passion, the history, it’s all palpable. Right now, I’m standing in front of the **Atelier Danse et Théâtre Sannois**. And can we just take a minute to appreciate the incredible array of tutu styles they’ve got here. We’ve got the classic romantic tutus – fluffy and full of romanticism – those long layers are practically begging you to dance. And then you've got the dramatic tutus – those are shorter and they pack a punch, with those dramatic frills and pleats, it’s a visual spectacle. And let's not forget the more modern tutus with those clean lines and elegant shapes – they’re pretty darn impressive too. This tutu obsession, you could say it’s pretty contagious. So, how about we take a deep dive into Tutu Tuesday in Sannois. Let’s go for a tour of this local dance studio in the heart of this beautiful little French town, shall we? **Sannois’s local Dance Studio** I popped into Atelier Danse et Théâtre Sannois today to see the beautiful costumes and feel the vibes, and let me tell you, it was all sorts of fabulous! Firstly, the studio itself was decked out like a fairytale, filled with mirrors, light, and of course, tutus in all their glorious glory. We're talking everything from the classic romantic tutu with layers upon layers of tulle, to modern styles with their clean lines and sleek designs, right through to some show-stopping dramatic tutus that could knock your socks off. They were a veritable wonderland of tutus! Tutus on Show: The Stars of the Show! Okay, let's break down those tutus! You have the ones with classic styling: fluffy, light and perfect for graceful, swirling movements. They look like a fluffy dream come true. Then you have the dramatic ones with those grand frills and sharp angles – those are definitely built for power and flair! Then we get into the modern tutus, all clean lines and cool minimalism. It was like seeing tutus from a time capsule, from across the ages, all in one place. Tutu Trends in the French Scene Now, I've got to say, these French dancers are taking the whole Tutu thing to a whole new level. The Parisian ballet scene has such a distinctive flair. The tutus, they’re almost works of art, every pleat, every detail meticulously considered. It’s fascinating! From classic romantic to ultra-modern, the different styles really reflected the different dance genres they have going on here. And let’s not forget the costumes for the character pieces. That level of artistry is pretty inspiring, I'm telling ya! Sannois's Hidden Gem I’ve got to be honest. Sannois surprised me. It wasn’t even on my list when I was planning my trip, but then I stumbled upon this amazing studio and found myself loving the little town’s charming atmosphere and this lovely local dance scene. A Touch of Romance Tutu Tuesday really took me back to all the romance and history surrounding French ballet. Ballet here isn’t just a dance, it's an art, it’s a tradition, it’s something so special. I mean, they don't call Paris the City of Love for nothin'! That love is definitely palpable here, especially in the local dance studios and I couldn't help but get a little swept away. **From Sannois to Paris and Beyond** So yeah, my Tutu Tuesday in Sannois, Ile-de-France was full of fabulousness. There are so many stories in this area, all related to ballet, from the Grand Opera to smaller studios. This was such a great way to soak it all up. It was like a big, swirling tutu made of stories. It's moments like these that I cherish. Moments where you feel the rhythm of a dance that goes far beyond steps. So, keep on twirling, keep on dreaming, and stay tuned for more Tutu Tuesday adventures! **A Word of Thanks** A big shoutout to all the lovely people at the Atelier Danse et Théâtre Sannois for making this Tutu Tuesday so unforgettable.
