Tutu Tuesday in Flers-lez-Lille, Hauts-de-France: A French Frolic with Tutu Flair #tututuesday G'day from Flers-lez-Lille, Hauts-de-France! As an Aussie ballet dancer, I'm constantly on the hunt for new and exciting places to pirouette around, and this quaint little town in the north of France has absolutely stolen my heart. Now, if you're a ballerina like myself, you know Tuesday is sacred. It's Tutu Tuesday, the day we dust off our tulle skirts, grab a coffee, and strut our stuff. And this week, I'm strutting right here in Flers-lez-Lille.
So, what's the deal with Tutu Tuesday, you ask? It's all about celebrating the beauty and grace of ballet, even if we're just casually popping down to the local boulangerie for croissants. It's about letting our tutus become a part of our everyday lives, a little bit of magic sprinkled onto our daily routines. It's about channeling our inner ballerinas, no matter where we are in the world.
And let me tell you, Flers-lez-Lille is the perfect setting for a Tutu Tuesday frolic. With its cobblestone streets, quaint little shops, and the picturesque architecture that France is famous for, this town exudes an undeniable charm. Stepping out in my tutu, I felt like I had wandered onto a fairytale set. Every glance seemed to come with a knowing smile. The locals embraced my little tutu celebration, the baker, the shopkeeper, the mailman - everyone shared a friendly wave, clearly familiar with this ballet tradition.
It's funny, as an Aussie ballet dancer living abroad, I sometimes get asked if I miss home. The answer is - not really. I'm just a global ballet butterfly, fluttering between continents, embracing every unique opportunity. But of course, I do get homesick for Aussie mates, barbies on the beach and lamingtons on a Sunday arvo. So, it was truly a delightful surprise to encounter some fellow Tutu Tuesday fanatics on the streets here in Flers-lez-Lille. They shared stories of tutu-clad adventures in local cafes and bustling markets.
Here in Flers-lez-Lille, I also noticed the local ballet scene was a real force, with passionate young dancers in gorgeous costumes and beautifully designed stage sets. It made my ballerina heart swell. These local performances had me wanting to join them on the stage, so much so that I decided to drop in for a ballet class during my time in Flers.
You know, the beauty of Tutu Tuesday lies in its universality. It's a global ballet celebration that transcends borders, cultures, and even language. Here in France, I felt this connection with the French ballet community like no other.
And of course, what would Tutu Tuesday be without a selection of delightful tutu styles? Let me share with you the magnificent tutus that made their appearance on my Flers-lez-Lille adventure:
* **The classic Romantic tutu:** With its layers of airy tulle, the romantic tutu is like a dream come true. It's perfect for graceful movements and flowing jumps. I opted for the pale blue colour palette to capture the enchanting atmosphere of Flers-lez-Lille. * **The contemporary tutu:** Sleek and modern, this style is all about sharp lines and geometric shapes. I chose black, making for a stunning silhouette that fit perfectly in the backdrop of the French cityscape. * **The French ballet tutu:** This is where France's contribution to ballet is evident. Featuring a more full skirt with a shorter length, it embraces both the elegance and practicality required for performance. I embraced this one by opting for the traditional white tutu with red satin accents.
In the grand finale, as I wandered down the picturesque cobblestone streets of Flers-lez-Lille with the warm sunlight cascading onto my tulle skirt, I felt utterly enchanted by this small town that truly embraced my little tutu celebration.
So, if you ever find yourself in Flers-lez-Lille, make sure to rock your own tutu on a Tuesday and experience the true meaning of this fabulous worldwide movement. The magic of ballet awaits you! #tututuesday #flerslezlille #hautsdefrance
