Tutu Tuesday in Exmouth, Western Australia: Where Ballet Meets the Outback #tututuesday G’day lovelies! It's your favourite Tutu-loving Aussie, and today we're taking Tutu Tuesday to the rugged beauty of Exmouth, Western Australia! I know what you're thinking: tutus and the outback? What a pairing, right? But hear me out, this is an adventure for the senses, one that celebrates the artistic flair of ballet amidst the majestic backdrop of the red desert and crystal-clear waters of Ningaloo Reef. For those of you who don’t know, Exmouth is an absolute gem on the WA coastline. Imagine azure waters, sun-kissed shores, and a landscape painted in ochre tones. It's truly a place where the wildness of the Australian outback meets the breathtaking beauty of the ocean. And as a dancer, I can't resist the allure of finding a connection between this wild terrain and the grace and fluidity of ballet. Now, about my tutu. Today, it's all about celebrating that classic, romantic vibe, with a delicate pastel pink tutu. Its soft tulle billows like the whisper of a gentle breeze across the red sands. I'm going for an ethereal, almost dreamlike look, the perfect foil to the raw beauty of the outback. Here's my take on embracing tutu fashion in the most unexpected places. Because what better way to highlight the contrasts than by placing something delicate and feminine against a backdrop of stark landscapes? And hey, it's definitely not your usual #tututuesday setting, which makes it all the more thrilling for this fashion-forward dancer. Exmouth and its ballet charm The heart of Exmouth is its unique spirit of adventure, much like the passion and artistry that drives a ballerina. This is a place where you can experience everything from exploring the vibrant underwater world of Ningaloo Reef, to going on hikes amidst ancient rock formations that tell stories of millennia. I can see why so many dancers, from all across Australia and beyond, fall in love with this town. There's this sense of discovery, of unearthing beauty in the most surprising places. Much like the way you uncover hidden elegance within yourself as you work through a challenging ballet routine. Ballet in the Australian Landscape Here's the thing about ballet in Australia.
