Tutu Tuesday in Beaconsfield, Victoria: #tututuesday
G'day, dance lovers! It's your girl, Sarah, back with another Tutu Tuesday. Today, we're hitting the streets of Beaconsfield, Victoria, to spread the love of ballet and celebrate everything tutus. And let's be honest, who doesn't love a good tutu?!
Beaconsfield's always been a vibrant little town, with a lot of support for the arts. So naturally, #tututuesday is taking off here like wildfire! Whether you're a seasoned ballerina or just someone who appreciates a pretty frock, there's no denying that a tutu brings a certain magical flair to any outfit. Today's the day to let your inner ballerina shine!
And what a glorious day it is for Tutu Tuesday! The sun is out, the birds are singing, and the air is filled with the smell of freshly baked bread (always a good sign, right?!) - so you know it's gonna be a good one!
I woke up this morning feeling inspired by all the amazing tutus I saw on Insta last week. Let me tell you, the tutu scene in Australia is booming right now! From classic, romantic tutus with multiple layers to modern, minimalist numbers with sleek, clean lines, there's a style for everyone.
**What are my personal Tutu Tuesday faves this week?** * **The romantic ballerina tutu**: You know the one – the super puffy, multiple-layered beauty with a flowing, ethereal vibe. Perfect for a picnic in the park or a fancy tea party (which I happen to have on the agenda for later this afternoon!). * **The sassy, contemporary tutu**: Think fitted, modern designs with daring cutouts and asymmetric silhouettes. Perfect for a day of running errands or grabbing brunch with the girls. It’s fun to play around with colour here. * **The quirky, fun tutu**: We’re talking tutu-skirts, bright colours, patterns, and anything that lets you express your personal style. Who says you need to stick to traditional pink and white?! Experiment! This style has serious potential for dance-related social media posts! * **The practical tutu**: Don't worry, I know, not everyone loves the dramatic tutus. And that's perfectly fine. There are plenty of other tutus out there that are just as fun but a little more practical, like a ballet tutu skirt worn over leggings. The perfect blend of fashion and comfort, if you ask me.
**What's happening today in Beaconsfield? ** Well, we're kicking off the festivities with a Tutu Tuesday street parade. You bet! This is one you don't want to miss. It's happening at midday in the heart of Beaconsfield. The locals are planning on some elaborate dance moves. There will be tutu-clad children running through the streets! We are lucky enough to have the Beaconsfield Community Dance School providing an energetic performance in the park – can't wait to watch the kids' expressions.
This afternoon, the local bakery has a Tutu Tuesday deal going – purchase a decadent cupcake for just 5 bucks, get a complimentary, yummy (and tutu-tastic) cookie! That's a pretty good excuse for a sugar high, don't you think?
The day wraps up at the Beaconsfield Arts Center where there is a showing of “The Nutcracker” on loop, with dancers invited on stage for a dance-off after each screening. There's going to be food, games and tutu-themed face painting (what else?!). I mean, let's face it, Tutu Tuesday isn't just about dressing up. It's a reminder to embrace your individuality and to have a bit of fun. It's about celebrating everything ballet has to offer and spreading joy to everyone you encounter, tutue or not.
**Be sure to tag me on social media @SarahsTutuTales and #tututuesday and let's spread the magic together. You can follow my story all week, including my #tututuesday experience today. See you out there, Beaconsfield! We are ready for this!**
