Tutu Tuesday in Tyabb, Victoria: A Whirlwind of Tutus! #tututuesday
Hey everyone, it's your girl, Lily here, ready to spill the tea (or should I say, the tulle?) on what's been a seriously fabulous Tutu Tuesday in the gorgeous seaside town of Tyabb, Victoria! The vibe was pure magic, and I can't wait to share all the highlights with you. Let's dive in!
If you haven't heard of Tutu Tuesday, well, let me enlighten you. It's a monthly celebration of all things tutus – think fashion, fun, and a whole lot of twirling. And, boy, did we twirl in Tyabb! The community center was bursting with colour and excitement. It felt like a real-life scene straight out of a ballet performance – just without the pointy shoes (though I saw a few rogue pointe shoes floating around!).
It's amazing how a simple tutu can bring people together. Everyone from tiny tots to seasoned dance queens were rocking their favourite tutu styles. We saw classic romantic tutus with tiers upon tiers of delicate tulle, whimsical rainbow tutus, sporty tutus with sleek lines, and even some DIY masterpieces! The creativity was off the charts, and honestly, everyone looked absolutely smashing.
The highlight for me was the "Tutu Parade" – basically, a flash mob of pure tulle magic. Imagine a sea of smiling faces, fluttering tutus, and joyful twirls, all set to a upbeat tune. It was enough to melt even the coldest heart! And let's not forget about the adorable kids' dance class. Those little ones had the cutest moves, and I'm sure they're all future ballet superstars! I was seriously melting!
It wouldn't be a proper Tutu Tuesday without some delicious eats, would it? Luckily, Tyabb had that covered too! The stalls were overflowing with gourmet cupcakes, mini quiches, and fresh fruit salads. There were even a few gluten-free options, which made me very happy, as a fellow GF friend!
But beyond the food and the twirling, there was a real sense of community and a shared love for the arts. People from all walks of life came together to celebrate dance, fashion, and each other. It was a reminder that ballet isn't just about perfecting pirouettes or mastering arabesques, it's also about joy, expression, and creating lasting memories. We were a bunch of dancing dreamers – and for that one afternoon, anything felt possible.
A massive shoutout to the Tyabb community center for organising such a spectacular event. And to all you tutu wearers out there – you know who you are – keep on twirling and spreading the Tutu Tuesday love!
Speaking of tutus, I had a really fun time showing off a few of my own favourites at the event. The romantic tutu that I wore for the "Tutu Parade" was a classic piece from my grandmother's time! It was actually part of her old costume from her days at the Royal Ballet in Melbourne (a piece of Australian ballet history!). And yes, you can bet I did a few pirouettes in that glorious vintage tutu. I felt like a ballerina queen.
I also got some lovely feedback from other dance enthusiasts in Tyabb. Turns out a few of them were former ballerinas! It was amazing chatting with them and hearing their stories about dancing in Australia. And guess what – I discovered that there's a thriving dance community here in Victoria! They have everything from ballet to jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, and everything in between. The future of ballet in Australia looks bright indeed!
So, there you have it – a whirlwind of tulle, twirls, and laughter! The best part about Tutu Tuesday in Tyabb is that it truly celebrates dance for everyone. No experience is required, just a sprinkle of tulle magic and a whole lot of enthusiasm.
