Tutu Tuesday in Clare, South Australia #tututuesday
G'day lovelies! It's Tutu Tuesday and I'm absolutely buzzing to be bringing you a little bit of ballet magic from the heart of South Australia. You wouldn't think, would you, that the beautiful Clare Valley - renowned for its wineries, rolling hills and crisp morning air - would also have a hidden world of ballerinas twirling their tutus?
But it's true! Ballet in Australia is more than just the big cities, you know. There are dedicated studios, enthusiastic dance teachers, and young dancers with big dreams all over this vast continent. And here in Clare, it's no different.
For the #tututuesday photo shoot, I had the pleasure of meeting the talented Miss Emily at her cozy studio in the town center. It's right on the main street - a little ballet haven amidst the bustle of Clare life! The studio walls are decorated with posters of famous ballerinas - Misty Copeland, Natalia Osipova, Sylvie Guillem - inspiring a generation of budding young artists.
And the best part? Emily's passion for ballet is as bright and beautiful as the Clare Valley itself. She had a gorgeous selection of tutus, and we had the most fun putting together some amazing shots.
Just a heads up to all you future ballet stars: We snapped photos of all the usual classics. Think the iconic, multi-layered **romantic tutu**, with its airy, swirling layers and delicate tulle, a total classic. We then went for a little something contemporary with a **contemporary tutu** - short and snappy, it was a statement piece for sure.
We couldn't leave out the iconic **poetic tutu** - the wispy, gossamer creation - which gave us all the "delicate flower" vibes. And, of course, the **contemporary bodice** with it's streamlined, elegant shape made an appearance too.
But it's not just about the pretty dresses, you know. The essence of ballet is the movement, the emotion, and the story you tell through your dance. We were lucky enough to catch Emily teaching a small group of children. Watching them grow in confidence and grace, their tiny bodies expressing themselves through the art of dance, made my heart soar! They even got to twirl in cute little tutus for our #tututuesday session! It was pure magic!
So, as we say here in Australia: If you're ever in Clare Valley, make sure to check out Miss Emily's ballet studio. It's not just about learning a few steps; it's about building a love for the art, fostering creativity and building a strong community.
Until next time, my fellow dancers and tutu-lovers. Keep twirling! And don't forget to tag me on your own #tututuesday adventures!
