Tutu Tuesday 20065

Tutu Tuesday in Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, Australia! #tututuesday It’s Tutu Tuesday in the sunny town of Bacchus Marsh, Victoria and my tulle is ready! You guys, this city is buzzing, it’s a tutu-tastic celebration. The local market was crammed with all sorts of creative characters rocking their tutus, a kaleidoscope of colour, from pastel pinks and blues to the most striking crimson red, I even spotted a few funky holographic numbers. It’s great to see that ballet's influence is going beyond the studio and onto the streets of Bacchus Marsh. As a ballet dancer, let me tell you, the history of tutus is as vibrant and diverse as their colours! The iconic tutu wasn’t always so dramatic. Imagine the graceful silhouette of the classic "romantic tutu", a soft, flowing skirt that reached the ankles and gave those beautiful pirouettes so much flight! Today, those delicate, romantic tutus are popular for recreational dancers, giving a dreamy, whimsical vibe. Today’s #tututuesday vibe, though, leans more towards the "bell-shaped" tutu with a dramatic bell shape and layers of stiff netting. You know the ones, made for powerful jumps and high kicks, a true statement piece on stage and off! There was even one ballerina strutting about in a 'pancake tutu', so incredibly short and fluffy - very 'modern ballet' and undeniably captivating.
