Tutu Tuesday 20612

Tutu Tuesday in Cundletown, New South Wales: A Celebration of the Tutu #tututuesday It’s a beautiful morning here in Cundletown, New South Wales, and I'm absolutely bursting with excitement for Tutu Tuesday. There's a certain magic about tutus, isn’t there? They embody a whirlwind of femininity, elegance and grace – the ultimate symbol of the ballet world. But let's face it, they are just plain FUN. As an Aussie ballerina with a passion for fashion, I am constantly drawn to the ever-evolving world of the tutu. From the traditional, multi-layered romantic tutus with their clouds of tulle to the sleek and modern “pencil” or "pancake" tutus, there’s a tutu style for everyone. They're as versatile as they are beautiful. You can rock a tutu with anything from a plain white T-shirt and sneakers for a casual daytime look to a glittering sequin top and heels for a glamorous evening ensemble. A bit of tutu history: So, what are the origins of the tutu anyway? It seems Marie Taglioni, an Italian ballet dancer, became one of the first to ditch the long and restrictive skirts and donned the short, airy, romantic tutu to wear in her choreography. That was back in the 1800s, and although there have been changes to style and the use of fabric, there’s a constant - tutus always remain eye-catching! Tutu trends: These days, it seems you can't go wrong with an extravagant tutu with layers and layers of tulle. There’s just so much volume! Or perhaps try the asymmetrical, multicoloured “explosion” tutu with extra long trails - an ultra modern tutu that’s bold, dramatic and just begs to be noticed! You could even find a tutu-inspired mini-skirt to recreate a whimsical street style vibe. Tutu Tuesday in Cundletown: Here in Cundletown, the tutu scene is definitely vibrant. I love seeing the creativity of locals who come together for Tutu Tuesday to create a vibrant community of dancers and lovers of all things tutu! I had to laugh the other day at the Tutu Tuesday cake pops a local bakery whipped up, or the Tutu Tuesday “I’m not just tutu cute, I’m a dancer too” T-shirts the local print shop designed. From local dance studios and community halls to cafe's and galleries - you can find Tutu Tuesday celebrated everywhere. It’s even got its own Instagram page where locals are snapping selfies, posing in groups and uploading their tutus for all the world to see! Whether you're a seasoned professional, a newbie, or someone who just loves to express themself with a bit of twirling fun - it’s wonderful to see Cundletown and its people embrace this fun trend. Tutu Tuesday makes us all a bit lighter on our feet, more confident, and ready to share our own style, whether at the ballet bar or a stroll down the main street in our favourite tutu. A word about the local ballet scene: The dance scene here is flourishing. Cundletown is fortunate enough to be the home of some brilliant ballet studios and classes.

This is an amazing place for all things dance, and I’m glad to call this town home! So here's to the twirling, to the grace, to the beautiful mess of it all. It's Tutu Tuesday!
