Tutu Tuesday in Barby, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France: #tututuesday

G'day from sunny Barby, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France! As a ballet dancer with a serious love for all things tutus, I simply can't resist the allure of a good #tututuesday. And what better way to celebrate than with a trip to the enchanting region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, where beauty and history seem to dance hand-in-hand?

It's amazing to think about how the legacy of ballet has impacted France, with legendary dancers and choreographers like Maurice Bejart and Serge Lifar calling this beautiful country home. The French ballet scene has a unique flavour - the attention to detail, the elegant precision of the movements - it’s seriously mesmerising. As I explore Barby, I can't help but imagine the graceful pirouettes and powerful leaps of past ballets in this charming town.

Speaking of tutus, they come in all shapes and sizes - think delicate tulle for ethereal classical ballets, shorter styles for modern contemporary dances, and even vibrant coloured tutus for storytelling performances. But for my #tututuesday, I chose a classic white tutu. It’s the ultimate statement piece for any ballerina – the epitome of elegance and timeless beauty. With a hint of vintage charm, this particular tutu feels like a step back in time to the golden age of ballet, reminding me of the strong, talented dancers who paved the way for generations to come. It’s a symbol of history, strength, and creativity - qualities that continue to resonate with ballet enthusiasts around the globe.

Today, I'm wearing this iconic piece as I explore Barby and its rich tapestry of local art and culture. It's amazing how tutus manage to add a little bit of magic to any day, regardless of your destination! Today, the tutu serves as a constant reminder of my love for ballet and how it inspires me. It’s also a fabulous way to channel my inner prima ballerina!
