Tutu Tuesday in Kerang, Victoria: #tututuesday G’day, fellow tutu enthusiasts! It’s your girl, Olivia, here, back with another fabulous edition of Tutu Tuesday. This week, I’m taking the ballet world by storm…well, actually just a quick detour to the quaint little town of Kerang, Victoria. Yes, you read that right – Tutu Tuesday went regional! Now, I know what you’re thinking: "Kerang? Olivia, what on earth are you doing there?" Well, I’ll tell you: I’m on a mission! This tiny town, with its big heart, is full of potential ballet dancers just waiting to unleash their inner prima ballerina. And believe me, they’re bursting with talent! I spent the day at the local dance studio, "Stepping Out", and I’m practically speechless! The first thing that struck me when I stepped into the studio was the amazing energy buzzing in the air. It was palpable, infectious, and full of so much love for ballet. These kids, they’re just so passionate and eager to learn! It was inspiring to witness firsthand, and I knew I had to do everything I could to share their story with the world. One of the most incredible things about Tutu Tuesday is the chance to showcase the beauty of ballet and all its different styles. From the classic tutus – think big, poofy and all-around fairytale-like – to the contemporary designs that have taken the ballet world by storm, I just love seeing the diversity in tutus. Today in Kerang, I even discovered a few students sporting the iconic ‘romantic tutu,’ perfect for showcasing those graceful pirouettes. Talk about graceful! I gotta say, you’ve gotta admire the sheer creativity that goes into creating the perfect tutu. After all, a well-designed tutu is about more than just twirling. It’s a statement of who you are, where you come from, and your love for ballet! For these students in Kerang, wearing their tutus is a way of saying "Hey world, I'm ready to dance!" As I witnessed the dancers, young and old, gliding across the studio floor in their stunning tutus, I realised something profound: the power of dance and its impact on people's lives. The beauty of ballet knows no bounds. It’s a universal language, understood by all who appreciate its art. Whether you're a professional ballerina or a curious observer, a tutu holds a special kind of magic that unites us all. For this Tutu Tuesday, it wasn’t about the size of the stage or the location, but rather the joy and the spirit of these dancers, which resonated through the entire studio. But my journey through regional Victoria doesn’t end here. This week, Tutu Tuesday is taking us on a whirlwind tour of the state, highlighting local ballet talent and showcasing the diverse and vibrant world of ballet beyond the major cities. From the dusty plains to the sparkling coastlines, ballet thrives, and I can’t wait to share it all with you! So stay tuned, Tutu Tuesday fans! Next week, we’re heading to… drumroll… Bairnsdale! That’s right, this charming coastal town will be our next stop, where I’ll be diving into the local ballet scene, showcasing talented dancers and discovering hidden gems in the tutu world. Don’t forget to follow along on Instagram for sneak peeks and exclusive behind-the-scenes content. Share your favourite #tututuesday photos and tag me on social media! It’s time to spread the love of ballet, one tutu at a time! See you next week! Olivia, @olivia_tutu_adventures
