Tutu Tuesday in Goonellabah, NSW: #tututuesday
Hey, you lovely lot! It's your girl, Sarah, back with another edition of #tututuesday! As you all know, this Tuesday is a day for celebrating all things tutus. It's about finding that inner ballerina, no matter your age or experience, and letting your tutu fly.
This week, I'm in Goonellabah, New South Wales - a little slice of Aussie heaven, a spot known more for its friendly vibes and wide open spaces than for its fashion-forward flair. But I’m determined to show everyone that tutu-licious style can be rocked anywhere!
So, here’s the lowdown: what's a Tutu Tuesday in Goonellabah all about? It's basically an excuse to pull on a tutu, embrace a bit of twirling, and have a laugh! But seriously, tutues have a unique power. No matter how long you’ve been training in ballet or even if you've never had a class, a tutu just brings out that playful side! You feel like you can twirl through life, embrace the whimsy, and have a good time doing it.
Speaking of tutus, you guys know I'm a huge fan. And I'm not just talking about the classic white tutus with their perfectly-constructed layers of tulle. I’m digging the variety we see these days!
There are the romantic, dreamy, and full-skirted tutus that evoke the elegance of Swan Lake and the lightness of Giselle, the romanticism of those iconic ballets that we know and love. And then there's the edgier side of the tutu - the modern tutu with its contemporary, even experimental shapes, and unexpected colours. These guys, they add a touch of drama and give a nod to all the cool modern ballets out there. They can be daring and funky, like those that choreographers like Wayne McGregor use to push the boundaries. They’re less about classical elegance and more about expressive, strong movements.
It's a fantastic time to explore different looks and different styles with tutus - just be sure to go for the right vibe! If you’re new to this, don’t be afraid to try things out.
But let's not forget that #tututuesday is not just about wearing a tutu. It’s also a chance to celebrate dance, which has a strong place here in Australia, whether we're talking about our own fabulous companies like the Australian Ballet and the Sydney Dance Company, or about the community classes at the local studios that give everyone the chance to move their body and express themselves. There are some amazing studios popping up around Goonellabah – and hey, even some amazing dancers in the local community – and all of them bring some wonderful vibes to the town! You know, that kind of feeling that brings everyone together, a feeling we definitely need more of!
So, for anyone in the area, grab your most fun and colourful tutu (or pick one up from the local craft shop – that's the Australian way to do things!) and get ready to have some Tutu Tuesday fun! Let's make Goonellabah a tutu wonderland. And, of course, don't forget to share your tutu fun on social media with #tututuesday #goonellabah - let’s flood the internet with tutus! This is the best way to inspire each other and show the world that tutu power has no boundaries, even in the most unlikely of spots. You never know, we might just kick off a national trend here in Goonellabah! See you on the dance floor!
