Tutu Tuesday in Shepparton, Victoria: A Tutu-ful Celebration of Ballet G'day, fellow tutu enthusiasts! It's your girl, Elle, back with another dose of all things tutu. Today, we're taking a trip to Shepparton, Victoria, the heartland of Australian ballet (okay, maybe not the *heartland* but we're trying to be positive, right?). Shepparton has been embracing #tututuesday with gusto, and I'm here to share the highlights of this tutu-rific day! First, let's talk about the **tutus**. Shepparton seems to have a love affair with the classic **Romantic Tutu**. You know, the big, fluffy, billowing layers of tulle? I'm seeing it everywhere: on young girls taking their first ballet class, on seasoned dancers performing in the local community theatre, and even on the odd enthusiastic barista at my favourite coffee shop! They're rocking those **tutus** like it's no one's business. A Sea of Tulle at Shepparton East Primary School The morning kicked off with a **Tutu Tuesday** parade at Shepparton East Primary School. The energy was electrifying. The kids, little and big, were dressed to the nines in their **tutus** โ€“ some were classic, some were playful with bold colors and patterns, some were even hand-made. There were **tutus** with sparkling sequins, **tutus** with feathers, and even some **tutus** with fun, kooky embellishments โ€“ like tiny little bunny ears! The **tutus** brought joy to every face. **A Celebration of Dance at The Shepparton Ballet Academy** Next, I ventured over to The Shepparton Ballet Academy, a vibrant hub of all things dance. They're taking **#Tututuesday** very seriously! Their students performed a wonderful series of **ballet** routines, showcasing the grace, power, and artistry of **ballet** in Australia. It's a real inspiration to see these young dancers dedicated to their craft. The **ballet** community in Shepparton is really alive and thriving, #Tututuesday At the Shepparton Library But it wasn't just about **ballet**. The Shepparton Library, that haven of knowledge and literature, even got in on the **Tutu Tuesday** action. They had a special **#Tututuesday** themed display with books about **ballet**, dance, and the arts. It's great to see how the **Tutu Tuesday** spirit is permeating different aspects of the Shepparton community. Fashioning a New Story Overall, **#Tututuesday** in Shepparton was an amazing day! It showed me how much joy and pride the community takes in its **ballet** heritage. The classic **tutu**, with all its elegance and fluffiness, serves as a reminder that **ballet** isn't just about strict discipline, but also about expression, freedom, and above all, the power to make people smile. So, if you're ever in Shepparton, be sure to stop by during **Tutu Tuesday**. You'll likely find a little **ballet** magic waiting to greet you!
