Tutu Tuesday in Werris Creek, New South Wales
G'day lovelies! It's your girl, Millie, back with another #tututuesday post. And this time, we're taking the tulle to Werris Creek, New South Wales, a charming little town in the heart of Australia.
So, who knew this little slice of outback would be my haven for tutu inspiration? Honestly, the beauty of Werris Creek really takes my breath away – think open spaces, starry nights, and friendly faces that make you feel right at home.
Now, I've been doing ballet my whole life, and I can tell you, Australia's got a vibrant dance scene. From the city studios of Sydney to the country dance schools, there's a passion for ballet that just radiates. I even found myself in a little ballet class at Werris Creek, surrounded by giggling kids and enthusiastic grannies! Talk about finding your happy place!
Now, onto the star of the show – the tutu! Today, we're celebrating all kinds of tulle wonders, from the classic romantic to the daringly contemporary.
- The Romantic Tutu: You can’t beat the graceful sweep of a traditional Romantic tutu, like those flowing tulle masterpieces we see in the famous classics. Think Swan Lake and Giselle.
- The Romantic Tutu: But for something more modern, think asymmetrical designs with layers of tulle that are a little more edgy and experimental. Maybe a hint of sparkle here and there? The sky’s the limit for creativity!
- The Character Tutu: The perfect opportunity to tell a story with the design of your tutu! The shorter layers, the playful colours - I can't help but picture a sassy peasant girl ready for a grand adventure, like those from classic stories like Coppelia and La Fille Mal Gardée. A little cheeky, a little fun. Love it!
- The Contemporary Tutu: This tutu's all about challenging the norm and making a bold statement. Experimentation with different fabrics, unconventional shapes, and bold colours? Yes please! Contemporary ballet allows so much creative freedom with the tutu and I'm all for it.
For me, the magic of tutu Tuesday is in the ability to embrace whatever style you're feeling! No matter the tutu style, we're all out here celebrating dance and our love for this beautiful art form. So, put on your dancing shoes, let your tulle fly, and join the movement! You might even be surprised where the next wave of tutu inspiration will come from – even in a little town like Werris Creek!
Stay tuned for more dance adventures and keep dancing like no one's watching, especially on Tutu Tuesday! Love you all and don't forget to follow me on Instagram for more tutu magic! #tututuesday #werriscreek #balletinaustralia #dance
