Tutu Tuesday in Melbourne, Victoria: A Celebration of the Classic
G’day fellow fashionistas and dance enthusiasts! It’s Tutu Tuesday, a day dedicated to the epitome of graceful elegance, the tutu. Today, I’m going to delve into the world of tutus and share my insights as a Melbourne-based ballet dancer and your personal style guru.
For those new to the Tutu Tuesday concept, it’s a global phenomenon where ballet dancers and fashion lovers alike flaunt their tutus, or at least their love for them, across social media. With a hashtag of #tututuesday, it has become a celebration of this iconic garment. And trust me, the #tututuesday trend has reached peak popularity in our fair city of Melbourne.
Speaking of Melbourne, our dance scene here is just as vibrant as the colours in our tutus! Every tutu has a unique personality – and I’m talking more than just its shade of pink or pastel blue. Each design is like a mini masterpiece, handcrafted with meticulous detail. We’ve got your classic Romantic tutus, billowing and graceful, reminding you of Sleeping Beauty and her fairytale existence. There’s the mischievous yet powerful dramatic tutu, evoking visions of Carmen’s captivating fire. And let’s not forget the impossibly short, whimsical and oh-so-lovely tutus that have dominated the world of children's ballets. The designs vary as widely as our local street art!
But let’s get real. Even in a world full of sleek evening gowns, tulle remains king, queen, and emperor! And that’s what I love about Tutu Tuesday - it’s not about being a professional ballerina, but celebrating that iconic fluffy skirt, the tulle, and the iconic artistry it represents. The #tututuesday movement is about a community that shares a love of all things dance, whether that be en pointe, barefoot, or even a simple plie.
From the grand stage of the Palais Theatre to the local ballet studio in your neighbourhood, the magic of the tutu weaves its way into Melbourne’s rich dance landscape. Let’s face it, there is nothing quite like seeing a group of ballerinas on pointe, those flowing tulle skirts billowing around them in a whirlwind of elegance and skill. And we all have that image stored in our subconscious.
In Melbourne, we are a hub for dance. From prestigious ballet companies like the Australian Ballet, which hosts stunning performances with some of the world’s most dazzling tutus to small, intimate community-run classes, we have it all. And we celebrate it all on Tutu Tuesday!
In Melbourne, the world of ballet transcends just its physical practice. Ballet has become synonymous with Melbourne’s vibrant and artsy spirit. Whether it be a tutu adorned with our favourite AFL colours or one made from repurposed materials, it's the creativity that resonates with this city. And let's face it, that creativity resonates across our great nation - with the tutus getting a reimagined and more casual makeover, as they pop up everywhere from beach festivals to urban picnics.
So let’s raise our pointe shoes and celebrate the glorious art of ballet, as well as the versatile wonder of a well-designed tutu! We've seen the classic ballet shoes, the glamorous high heels, the ever-trendy sneakers. Now it’s time to rock those tutu’s, or at least express your admiration for them. Share your #tututuesday look and let’s all revel in the grace and charm of the tutu, our true national treasure!
