Tutu Tuesday in Joinville-le-Pont, ïle-de-France, France #tututuesday Well, hello there, darlings! It's your favourite Aussie ballerina, Chloe, back with another #tututuesday post, this time from the charming town of Joinville-le-Pont, nestled right there in the heart of ïle-de-France, France! It's been a whirlwind of a week, let me tell you. After conquering the iconic Parisian ballet scene, I decided to venture a bit outside the city limits and explore the dance community of Joinville-le-Pont. And you know what? This place has a heart of gold – and a pretty darn impressive ballet scene, too! But let's get to the real reason why we're here: the tutus! Now, you know how much I adore a good tutu – it's practically my uniform, right? But even *I* was blown away by the variety of styles and shapes I spotted in Joinville-le-Pont. • The Classics: First, we've got the timeless classics – the quintessential, flowing romantic tutus, the iconic **bell-shaped** numbers, and those gloriously billowing **Romantic tutus**. They were a sight to behold! • Modern Twist: Then there was a modern twist to things, with some absolutely stunning contemporary pieces. The **slit** **skater** tutu had me completely swooning, as did those daring **short** and **layered** beauties, perfect for contemporary interpretations of ballet classics! • The Sparkly Factor: Let's not forget about the sparkle factor! I spied some utterly mesmerizing tutus **adorned** with sequins and embellishments, adding a touch of glamour to their ethereal grace. Of course, I just had to indulge my inner ballerina and snap a few pics (and, naturally, pose in one of those spectacular tutus). After all, what's #tututuesday without a little bit of Instagram-worthy fun? Speaking of Instagram, make sure you follow me for a sneak peek into all the behind-the-scenes ballet adventures! My visit to Joinville-le-Pont also provided some invaluable insights into the French ballet culture. Ballet is so deeply ingrained in the nation’s culture – you see it everywhere! Even walking through the city streets, I felt a genuine appreciation for dance and its power to move people. Now, Joinville-le-Pont, you've certainly stolen my heart. I've never felt more inspired by the grace, dedication, and passion of the local ballet scene. And those tutus, they are absolutely divine! So, darling readers, don't be shy – get out there and embrace your inner ballerina. Try on a tutu, spin, twirl, and most importantly, have fun with it! You never know what kind of magical ballet moments await you. Until next time, Chloe xoxo #tututuesday
