Now, I know what you're thinking – why Bry-sur-Marne? Well, babes, this little town has a secret: it's a hidden gem for all things ballet, and let me tell ya, it's a real-life fairytale.
Okay, so you might not have the grand Palais Garnier like in Paris city, but trust me, Bry-sur-Marne has an incredible ballet scene, bursting with talented dancers and a dedication to the art form. You've got your local schools, with tiny ballerinas perfecting their plies in their bright pink tutus and the more seasoned students wowing with grand jetés in elegant, romantic tutus, all designed by local seamstresses who have a knack for creating the most beautiful tutus, perfect for both the classroom and the stage.
But the best thing about Bry-sur-Marne, apart from its delectable pastries (which are simply divine), is the community spirit around ballet. The town truly embraces its dancers, both big and small. It's a sight to behold seeing parents and kids heading to their local studio, the little ones in their tutu-dresses looking like tiny swans. Even the shops have embraced the ballet spirit, with everything from ballet shoes and leotards to whimsical tutus adorning the mannequins.
Now, you might be wondering, what exactly is it about these Parisian tutus that sets them apart? It's all about the attention to detail and the sense of artistry, babes!

We're talking tutus fit for a ballerina's dream!
This week, I've been obsessing over the traditional, romantic tutu styles in soft, pastel colours. The perfect blend of graceful fluidity and romantic charm. Just picture yourself, leaping across the stage, surrounded by soft tulle and glittering embellishments. Pure magic!
And don't even get me started on the custom-made tutus you find in Bry-sur-Marne. Every tutu is like a miniature work of art, a unique reflection of its ballerina. It's truly the perfect way to celebrate your own individuality, your own journey through ballet.
