Tutu Tuesday in Sandy Beach, New South Wales

Hey lovelies! It’s your girl, Claire, back with another installment of #tututuesday! And today, we’re taking the #tututuesday spirit straight to the sandy shores of beautiful Sandy Beach, NSW.

As a dancer in the bustling ballet scene here in Australia, I’ve gotta say, I’m feeling a little extra grateful this week for the sheer joy of twirling in a tutu. Honestly, you just can't beat that feeling of graceful, effortless movement - even when it's a hot day at the beach, and your hair's a bit of a mess (no judgement here!).

Now, you might be wondering, why Sandy Beach? Well, it’s the ultimate spot for channeling your inner ballerina and enjoying a day at the beach, right? This stunning stretch of coast, nestled just outside Sydney, has some seriously magical vibes. Imagine the crisp, cool air swirling around you, the feel of the sand between your toes, and the soothing sound of the ocean – a real ballet in itself! And there’s something seriously inspiring about the way the light dances on the water, just like your tutu would on stage!

I rocked a classic, double-layered **tutu** today, the kind that floats with every step and makes you feel like a real-life fairy. The tulle was as light as a feather, and it shimmered in the sunlight, giving off a magical, dreamy glow. I topped it off with a flowy, off-the-shoulder top for a touch of elegance, paired with my favorite sunnies to shield those ballet-trained eyes. Don’t forget those sparkly ballet flats for a little touch of flair and so you can be ready for a impromptu performance on the beach.

Speaking of performances, Sandy Beach is more than just a place for lounging about. It's actually a hub for amazing live music, from indie bands to acoustic solo artists. And you know me, I can’t resist a good melody! You can usually find me bopping to the beat, my **tutu** twirling in time with the music, channeling my inner graceful ballerina (though my steps may be a little less controlled with sand on the floor). It's all about embracing the fun and the unexpected!

I've gathered some super chic ideas for #tututuesday in Sandy Beach that you can embrace:

  • Go for a sunset picnic: Pack a basket full of your favourite treats, a blanket, and your trusty tutu. Enjoy a delicious picnic as the sun paints the sky with colours of a hundred ballerinas.
  • Stroll along the boardwalk: Let the sea breeze carry your **tutu** as you wander down the charming wooden boardwalk. This is a perfect chance to snap some awesome pictures with the stunning ocean views as your backdrop!
  • Channel your inner mermaid: Feeling bold? Submerge your toes into the clear water and imagine yourself as a ballet mermaid, leaping and flowing through the waves!
  • Pose like a ballerina: Sandy Beach has some spectacular views! Strike your favourite ballet poses with the coastline and sunset behind you. Embrace those camera angles, and remember, a **tutu** is always photogenic!
  • Take a beach dance class: Feeling ambitious? Check out the local studios or dance groups. They offer beach dance classes where you can learn new steps and unleash your inner ballerina in a playful, outdoor environment.
  • Host a tutu party on the beach: Bring your squad together for a unique beach gathering. Don those tutus and let your hair down – no dance skills required!

I hope I've inspired you to take your #tututuesday adventures to the next level, to a place where you can combine the beauty of ballet, the magic of the coast, and the ultimate Australian summer vibe. So get those tutus ready, and embrace the joy of being a graceful, fun-loving dancer! Don’t forget to tag me on your Sandy Beach shenanigans! Until next time!

With love and twirls,

Claire
