My day started with a visit to the charming ballet studio, "Atelier Danse Saint-Pol," where I had the pleasure of chatting with the friendly locals. They're really passionate about their ballet classes and love the opportunity to dress up in beautiful costumes, and naturally, the spotlight often falls on the tutu. I spotted some gorgeous creations during my visit: * **Classic pouter tutus** with a traditional, graceful silhouette. * **Romantic tutus:** Featuring soft, flowing tulle layers that dance effortlessly with every movement. * **The contemporary tutu:** A bold and modern interpretation with asymmetrical cuts, bold colour blocks, and edgy textures.
