Tutu Tuesday 20098

Tutu Tuesday in Port Pirie, South Australia: Spreading the Love of Ballet! Hey gorgeous peeps! It's your fave tutu-loving ballerina, Tilly, and today, I'm back with a special shout-out for my fellow twirl-obsessed Aussies right here in Port Pirie. You guys know I'm all about spreading the ballet love, and Tutu Tuesday has become a thing, not just here in South Aussie but all over the globe. As we know, Tutu Tuesday is a way to celebrate the beautiful, and sometimes ridiculous, world of dance! But seriously, think about it. Who wouldn't want to sport a fluffy tutu, even if it's just for a day? From classic romantic tutus with multiple layers and tons of tulle to sleek, modern pieces with sharp lines, a tutu can be so much more than a piece of costume. I was so excited when I first discovered #tututuesday popping up in my Insta feed - seeing these amazing ballerinas from all over the world rocking their tutus! It's been an incredible movement and I love seeing how everyone is bringing their own personal style to it. I can see how the #tututuesday movement has taken off, with so many girls putting their spin on the tutu - whether it's the classic puffy romantic tutu, a modern tutu made for jumps and leaps, or even a fun little tutu for everyday wear. There are no rules when it comes to #tututuesday! Last month, we did something a bit special in Port Pirie – we organised a #tututuesday meet up for the local dancers. We got together at the local park, and there was such great energy! So many different ages and skill levels, but we all shared the same passion - the passion for ballet and the tutu. We snapped a few shots, and you know I couldn't resist putting a little choreographed routine together for some Instagrammable footage! Of course, in Australia, ballet is booming, from Adelaide to Sydney to the gold coast. Our little town of Port Pirie is doing its best to catch up, and #tututuesday was just the start. More than just being a whimsical fashion statement, #tututuesday shows just how amazing ballet can be – from the strength and precision required to the beauty and emotion it expresses. We had the older dancers teaching some basic positions, turns, and even a little barre work. It's amazing how a little tutu can help build confidence in all kinds of ways! And you know what’s awesome about #tututuesday? It's open to everyone, not just serious ballerinas. Guys can wear tutus! Even your grandpa could sport a tutu! If you have a child that loves to dance and dream in their tutu, or a parent who just wants to have some fun with fashion, join the fun! We're all about inclusion and creativity! Here are some fun ideas to help you embrace #tututuesday: * **Find the perfect tutu.** This could be a brand new one, a vintage find from a thrift store, or even a custom-made masterpiece by your very own talented local designer! * **Let your personality shine.** Wear your tutu with a bold statement lip colour, an oversized beanie, some edgy shoes, or even cowboy boots – why not! This is a time to make tutu-wearing your own. * **Spread the love!** Post photos of yourself and your friends on Instagram using #tututuesday, #PortPirie #SouthAustralia so everyone can join the fun! Remember, #tututuesday isn't just about dancing - it's about embracing creativity and feeling empowered. Don't be shy, get out there, strut your stuff, and let your inner ballerina shine through! And you can be sure to find me right here in Port Pirie celebrating all things tutu! This is Tilly signing off for now! Don't forget to grab your tutus and join the #tututuesday movement.
