Tutu Tuesday in Le Ban-Saint-Martin, Grand Est, France #tututuesday G'day, lovelies! So, here I am, back in the magical land of France, a land where fashion and artistry are woven into the fabric of life, much like the beautiful tulle of my favourite tutu! And today's a special day, it's...you guessed it...Tutu Tuesday! The air in Le Ban-Saint-Martin, Grand Est, is crisp, with just a hint of that sweet, French breeze. And I'm feeling inspired! It's like the little ballerinas in my soul are leaping for joy, their toes dancing on cobblestone streets and their twirls whispering stories in the wind. Speaking of twirls, this Tutu Tuesday is all about exploring the artistry of French ballet. And it's not just the breathtaking performances at the Palais Garnier in Paris, which, of course, are absolute must-sees, but also the hidden gems of local ballet schools, the passionate instructors, and the blossoming talents that grace stages across the country. And speaking of blossoming talent, here's a little secret for you: in Le Ban-Saint-Martin, there's this darling little ballet school nestled amongst the charming streets. Now, I'm no stranger to a good ballet school, having trained my whole life in the Land Down Under, but this one...well, it has this certain *je ne sais quoi*. It's not just about the technique; it's about the dedication, the passion, and the raw talent that you see shining in the eyes of these young dancers. I popped in to watch a class, and let me tell you, those tutus were on point! There were classics like the **Romantic tutu** – think wispy, billowing tulle that almost floats on air – which is perfect for ballets like La Sylphide, evoking a sense of ethereal lightness and grace. Then, there were some contemporary numbers where they had **modern tutus**, the ones that play with bold lines and minimalist design. Let's talk about my Tutu Tuesday look, shall we? For my outing to Le Ban-Saint-Martin's ballet school, I chose a simple, yet sophisticated look. My little black dress (you know me, always a fan of LBDs!) paired with a **classic romantic tutu** in ivory tulle. It flowed effortlessly, making me feel like a ballerina from a fairytale. I accessorized with a pair of dainty gold ballet flats (perfect for waltzing through cobblestone streets!), and a delicate pearl necklace for a touch of Parisian elegance. And you know what else adds to the perfect Tutu Tuesday outfit? A touch of the *je ne sais quoi*. It's not something you can buy, it's something you own. In my case, it's the twinkle in my eye and the infectious joy of seeing children fall in love with ballet. So, as I stand here, a ballet-loving Aussie girl in the heart of France, I urge you: * Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and embrace your inner ballerina. * Whether you’re twirling on the streets of Le Ban-Saint-Martin or in your living room, wear your Tutu Tuesday with pride! * Embrace the beauty of dance, the joy of movement, and the power of art to inspire and unite. Remember, my lovelies, #tututuesday is about more than just tutus. It’s about embracing the magic that comes from putting on a dress that makes you feel like a princess, the beauty of expression through movement, and the power of art to move our souls. So, what are you waiting for? Get your twirl on, embrace your inner ballerina, and celebrate Tutu Tuesday with me!
