Tutu Tuesday in Clermont, Queensland: A Celebration of Twirls and Traditions #tututuesday
G'day, fellow ballet lovers! As a dancer and a proud Queenslander, I'm always buzzing to see how my fellow Aussies are embracing the art form. And what better way to celebrate our shared passion than with a Tutu Tuesday extravaganza? So let's get right into it! Today's blog is all about bringing the tutu magic to the streets of Clermont, Queensland, because #tututuesday knows no boundaries – not even geographical ones!
Now, when you think of a tutu, you might conjure up images of graceful ballerinas soaring across a grand stage, dressed in the classic, fluffy romantic tutu – a symphony of white tulle billowing in a whirlwind of elegance. But hey, tutus can be so much more! It's like finding that perfect pair of stilettos, they're meant to be versatile. We can go full-on frilly, or maybe rock a sassy, shorter tutu, even a modern tutu in a vibrant color for a more contemporary feel.
We're here to rock those twirls and express ourselves, from the classic pouter pigeon to a playful side arabesque. Let’s not forget the perfect up-do to finish the look! And if you don't know about "The Bun" – girl, you're missing out. But that’s another post for another time.
Clermont has a real, genuine, down-to-earth community vibe and they are really supportive of the arts. A huge shoutout to all my friends and followers in the region, who've already embraced this Tutu Tuesday mission – we’ve seen some truly incredible styles on the street today. It's been heartwarming to see the local schools and even a couple of local businesses getting involved!
Here's a glimpse into our Clermont Tutu Tuesday adventures – all the fabulously dressed dancers who rocked this day in the ‘burbs:
- At the Clermont IGA supermarket, I saw Sarah rocking a whimsical pastel tutu paired with a casual, denim jacket. Now that’s a great outfit for the supermarket – just need to make sure you've got enough room for groceries, or you’ll be back and forth like it’s a dance routine!
- Outside the Clermont Showgrounds, we spotted three young ballerinas - Olivia, Isabella and Zara, they were doing what we all love to do - taking impromptu photos of their gorgeous fluffy white tutus! These tutus, they’re just pure magic!
- And we can't forget the lovely Mary, who stopped traffic outside the Clermont Post Office wearing a gorgeous modern tutu with bold emerald green embellishments! I have to say Mary, that one was just jaw-dropping!
- We even had the Clermont Library joining in with the fun - a tutu draped around the door knob of the Library for the perfect Tutu Tuesday welcome! You go girl!
What's so fantastic about Tutu Tuesday is it truly is about inclusion. It's a reminder that dance isn't confined to a theatre, ballet doesn’t discriminate. If you feel it in your soul, it’s for you. In fact, it's even more inspiring to see how communities can come together and share in their shared love for dance, no matter the age or skill level!
Whether you're a seasoned professional, a casual ballet lover or a complete beginner who just loves twirling and expressing yourself, I encourage you all to join the next #tututuesday movement. Don't forget to share your stylish shots with me! The best tutu shots will be featured next month on my social channels!
Until then, keep twirling, keep celebrating, and let's keep dancing in those beautiful tutus all over Australia! Because no matter where you’re located, we can bring the tutu love anywhere! See you next Tutu Tuesday!
