Tutu Tuesday 18417

## **Tutu Tuesday in Billère, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France** #tututuesday Bonjour mes amis! So, it's Tuesday which means it's #tututuesday and I'm currently living my best life in beautiful Billère, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France! I'm here on a bit of a whirlwind trip, soaking up the French culture and, of course, indulging in some serious ballet appreciation. You guys know how much I love my tutus! They're more than just costumes for me; they're a statement of elegance, artistry, and that pure, joyful energy of dancing. It's always a little extra special when I get to slip into a tutu while exploring new places, like this gorgeous region of France! This morning, I popped by a local dance studio – *La Compagnie des Arts Vivants*. It was absolutely lovely! You wouldn't believe the incredible selection of tutus they had - I was practically drooling. We're talking traditional Romantic tutus with the fluffy, multi-layered skirts, classic French tutus that exuded chic simplicity, and even a few modern tutus with a daring, edgy vibe. Honestly, I wanted to take them all home with me! But of course, I practiced some restraint and settled on a stunning Romantic tutu with a dreamy pastel blue and ivory colour scheme. It was simply breathtaking! You see, I'm a real fan of the Romantic tutu style. It's all about airy lightness, floating skirts, and that ethereal grace that feels like it could take you straight to the clouds. I just adore the way they move and how they accentuate every twirl. They truly bring out the magic and emotion in each performance. Speaking of twirls, I also had the absolute pleasure of seeing a ballet performance at *Le Théâtre du Casino de Biarritz* while I was here. And it was absolutely spectacular! The choreography was incredibly intricate, and the dancers were all so incredibly talented. There was one young ballerina in particular who completely stole the show. Her grace and power were astounding, and she moved across the stage with a passion that was simply electrifying! Ballet in France, and in Billère in particular, feels different, more expressive and a little bit more theatrical, maybe it's the language, or the way they move? Perhaps it's just a magic that surrounds ballet here. The local dance companies are a treasure, nurturing young talents and creating amazing artistic experiences for their community. To top it all off, the cafe culture in this area is next level! Imagine enjoying a decadent coffee and a pain au chocolat, followed by a delightful lunch at a local bistro. You just can't go wrong! This has been a real adventure! This #tututuesday in Billère, Nouvelle-Aquitaine has been an absolute dream!
