Tutu Tuesday in Trafalgar, Victoria: A Day of Whirlwind Grace
It’s Tutu Tuesday, darlings, and the sun is shining in Trafalgar, Victoria! Today's a day to celebrate everything fabulous about ballet – the twirls, the leaps, the tutus! As a seasoned Aussie ballerina and a proud Trafalgaran (is that even a word?), I'm stoked to share some tutu inspiration with all of you. First off, let's talk tutus. This week, my tutu obsession is all about the **Romantic tutu**. Picture flowing, wispy layers of tulle, soft as a feather cloud. It’s the quintessential fairy-tale tutu – think Giselle, Swans, all those dreamy ballets. It's the perfect balance between dramatic and delicate, like a gentle breeze in a flower field, except with more sparkle. For this Tutu Tuesday, I'm taking a spin in my own Romantic tutu. It’s vintage-inspired, with soft pink tulle and delicate, shimmering embroidery – a perfect match for the afternoon tea party I'm hosting. My grandma gifted it to me a few years back, and it's the sweetest reminder of all the ballerinas who came before me, like the legend, Dame Margot Fonteyn. But Tutu Tuesday is about more than just tutus, darling. It's about embracing that feeling of absolute freedom you get when you dance. It's about reminding ourselves to twirl through life, even when things get tough. The Australian ballet scene is buzzing with excitement right now, so many talented young dancers making their mark. I know many dancers in the country are doing incredible things. Just last month I went to see "Giselle" in Melbourne and the audience was mesmerized by the delicate grace of the ballerinas – a perfect example of how the Romantic tutu captures the heart and soul of classical ballet. So, here's to you, my fellow dancers and ballet enthusiasts! Grab your tutu, put on your favourite ballet shoes, and let’s celebrate the magic of ballet together. Let's turn the town of Trafalgar, Victoria, into a whirlwind of grace, beauty, and yes, even a little bit of tutu madness.

Don't forget to use the hashtag #tututuesday and share your fabulous ballet moments on social media. **Here's what you can do for a truly stellar #Tututuesday:** * **Plan a tutu-themed picnic in the park.** Gather your friends, put on your finest tutus (and don't forget the champagne!). I can see the "Nutcracker" tea party, complete with petit fours! * **Check out a local ballet performance.** We are lucky in Australia – you can find fabulous ballet performances all over the country. Catch a contemporary ballet or the classic "Swan Lake", get some inspiration for your own dance. * **Give yourself a mini tutu photo shoot.** Find the perfect backdrop – the Trafalgar Lake, the main street… get creative, share your fun with everyone! You might want to check out local businesses in Trafalgar for a great "behind the scenes" look. * **Learn a new ballet move.** I recommend starting with the graceful arabesque or the playful pirouette – but whatever you choose, have fun with it. Most importantly, enjoy the spirit of Tutu Tuesday! Spread some magic and make it a day to remember. Let the world know what a fabulous, twirling town we have here! I love this day so much, we should maybe even extend it to a whole week in Trafalgar!
