Tutu Tuesday in Cundletown, NSW: A Dance-tastic Celebration #tututuesday It's Tuesday, which means it's officially Tutu Tuesday in Cundletown, NSW! As a proud Aussie ballerina, there's nothing I love more than seeing fellow tutu enthusiasts embracing the joy and whimsy of these delightful garments. Today, we're gonna chat about all things tutu - from the styles to the inspiration they give. Tutus: A Little History To start, let's give a shout-out to the origins of the tutu. Imagine if ballet was only about plain clothes – how dull! The tutu as we know it today took shape in the 1800s, with the classic Romantic tutu (think **Marie Taglioni in La Sylphide**, light and airy, and very dreamy!) It revolutionised what we saw on stage. Since then, the tutu has gone through quite the evolution. We've got the **Romantic Tutu**, which is soft and airy. Then there's the **Classical Tutu**, a little shorter with more volume – just like the ones they wear in **Swan Lake**. And for those dramatic stories with a little more attitude, the **"Theatrical" Tutu** steps up with its tight silhouette and extra flair. Of course, no one forgets the super stylish **Contemporary Tutu** that we're seeing more of lately – those are basically modern masterpieces of design, letting the ballerinas show off their incredible athleticism! Cundletown, NSW - Home of Tutu Love! I'm talking about **Tutu Tuesday**, a glorious tradition right here in Cundletown. Who'd have thought this small country town in NSW would have a huge passion for all things tutu? Seriously, it’s the highlight of my week. This little town is rocking it with tutu style and I'm obsessed! I can't imagine how it started, but it’s amazing to see all these guys showing their unique sense of style in their tutus. The energy in Cundletown is electric every Tutu Tuesday! Spotting Tutu Trends Here are a few things I noticed in the crowd: • **Tutus of all Colours and Fabrics: ** The **Cundletown Tutus** have the boldest and most colourful looks - there were even some **DIY tutus** from scratch. We spotted fluffy **pink tulle** and **classic black silk** - it's an amazing way to express individuality! • **The "No Fuss" Tutu** Look : It's simple but makes a statement. Just a simple tutu layered over a casual shirt and jeans - brilliant for running errands in town – no one says you need to be super formal, we can still embrace the Tutu Tuesday energy! • **The Tutu on the Beach:** It was a hot one, and we saw a few embracing the coastal vibe! Beachwear and tutu – a winning combination! • **The Little Tutu-Lovers:** The kiddos weren’t left out of this fun, they were rockin’ tiny tutus - even the littlest ones in **sparkly tutus**, making everyone smile! • **Let's Not Forget About The Gents**: This week's biggest surprise - The guys, too! The Cundletown men are owning Tutu Tuesday. Some were in **little tutus** - and then we saw some with **"Statement Tutus," ** - big, bold, and fabulous, complete with colourful scarves. This just shows that Tutu Tuesday is a universal language of creativity, and I love it! Tutu Tuesdays In The Bigger Ballet World You might think Tutu Tuesday is unique to Cundletown. But, I've got some news for you - this #Tututuesday tradition is actually taking off in cities across Australia! • **The Tutu Parade in Melbourne**: The Melbourne Ballet Company puts on a tutu-tastic extravaganza, inviting everyone to strut their stuff! The parade starts with the Melbourne Opera House, and there are even workshops for beginner ballerinas (all ages!), ending at the Botanical Gardens for a "Tutu Tea Party". This is seriously incredible, Melbourne, keep up the good work! • **Sydney's Tutu Tuesdays for a Cause:** They've been embracing Tutu Tuesday at Sydney's own "Dancing for Hope," with a fundraising gala for dance education and helping out less-fortunate dancers.
