Tutu Tuesday in Bonville, NSW: #tututuesday Hey gorgeous dancers and fashionistas! It's your girl, Maddie, here, back with another #tututuesday post, straight from the heart of Bonville, NSW, Australia! I know what you're thinking - "Tutus in Bonville? Isn't that a bit, well, rural?" Well, I'm here to tell you that just because we're in a charming little town doesn't mean we can't rock a killer tutu, because honestly, who wouldn't want a little twirl of fabulousness in their life? This week, we're taking a stroll through the different styles of tutus - the classic, the romantic, the contemporary and the unconventional - exploring why they continue to captivate us and showcasing how you can rock these iconic dancewear pieces even outside the studio.
The Classic:
  • We'll start with the quintessential tutu: the Romantic. You know, the ones we dream about as little girls - all fluffy, delicate, and dreamlike. They evoke a feeling of whimsical beauty.
  • Imagine yourself standing in the centre of the stage, a single spotlight highlighting your every move as you pirouette in a romantic tutu. It’s pure magic, isn’t it?


A Little Romance:
  • These beauties are the epitome of elegance and femininity, a delicate layer of tulle creating a swirling, ethereal illusion.
  • They might have a soft, powdery colour like blush or lavender, and maybe a smattering of tiny sequins for added sparkle.
  • This type of tutu will always remind us of stories, of magic, and of the purest expression of beauty on the stage.


More than a Classical Princess:
  • Of course, the classical tutus also come in their glorious black forms, not so fluffy and dreamy but commanding a different type of magic altogether - power, precision, and intensity. A black classical tutu will make you feel fierce, even if you just step onto your living room floor in it!


Modern Day Tutu Styles
  • It's no longer just about the Romantic and the Classical, though. Contemporary dance has shaken things up with some exciting new styles, making bold statements through the way they look and the feelings they convey.
  • One such style is the “penchĂ©,” also known as a “platform” or “contemporary,” tutu, designed for the expressive dynamism of contemporary dance. This type of tutu doesn’t always use a traditional cage; often it employs layers of flowing tulle and other materials to create a sense of movement and lightness. This style feels almost more like sculpture than clothing, the layers reflecting and refracting the light beautifully.

Bringing it to the Streets
  • I’ve got a secret I want to share: These tutus aren’t just for dance. You can absolutely work them into your everyday outfits, from a quirky daytime look to a statement outfit for a night out.
  • Imagine yourself at a weekend music festival - rocking a denim jacket with a contemporary tutu and Doc Martens. That's #tututuesday taken to another level!
  • How about styling a Romantic tutu with a simple black top and ankle boots for a chic and whimsical vibe.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. A splash of colour, a touch of sparkle, or a unique shape - tutus are versatile. And believe me, you’ll feel confident and amazing - that’s what’s great about a good tutu, they don’t just look amazing but they make you feel like you can do anything!

Sharing the Tutu Love
  • It's not just about the fashion; it's about the dance community. We’re all about connecting and sharing the joy of dancing, from Bonville to the rest of Australia!
  • The ballet world in Australia has this wonderful energy and camaraderie. It's a passionate and supportive community where the love of dance knows no boundaries. The magic of ballet transcends geographic limits, so it doesn’t matter where you are - you can express yourself creatively.
  • That's what #tututuesday is about - celebrating the expression and passion that shines through every single tutu, wherever it may be!
