Tutu Tuesday in Walloon, Queensland: #tututuesday
Hey dance fam! It's your girl, Amelia here, and you know what day it is, right?! 💃 Yep, it's #tututuesday, and let me tell ya, this little tutu loving Aussie's heart is already doing a pirouette! 😉 This week I'm channeling my inner ballerina right here in the sunny, vibrant city of Walloon, Queensland. Oh, this place has some seriously cool dance vibes - and not just for tutu twirling, I'm talking about a diverse and buzzing dance scene here in the sunshine state. From the classic to the contemporary, from the playful to the powerful, there’s something for everyone in the world of ballet and we’re truly spoilt for choice when it comes to our local Queensland dance institutions. I'm talking about some serious dance talent – you could bump into a dance pro at your local café! So when I'm not busy practicing those grand jetés (and let's be real, my daily life IS filled with a LOT of ballet-inspired movement – even the way I pick up my coffee cup has some pointe-shoe-powered finesse!), I'm scouring vintage shops for the perfect #tututuesday statement pieces. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Tututues? Isn't that a bit, well, *vintage*?" To that, I say, "Honey, let me tell ya, there's no such thing as a dated tutu! You can find every kind of tulle dream you can imagine - from the classic, poofy Romantic-era tutu, fit for a fairytale princess, to the streamlined, modern ones, all slinky and sharp - I'm talking about some seriously killer, edgy looks here!" You can find your perfect fit with: * A *ballerina blush* tutu: Imagine soft tulle, a delicate puff, perfect for romantic occasions. * A *midnight dreamscape* tutu: Darker, more intricate - this one's a real showstopper and makes me feel like I'm ready for the stage. * A *sparkling supernova* tutu: We’re talking shimmering tulle, all sorts of glitz and glam - you're going to turn heads, no matter what the occasion! Today I'm channeling a touch of *ballerina blush*, my tutu of choice is a confection of layered tulle, oh so soft and breezy, in a color that reminds me of rose petals. I'm pairing this whimsical tutu with a white crochet top, a touch of vintage flair with my favourite black boots, a splash of gold on the lips and a sassy little bow in my hair - I’m all about adding a little bit of drama with every look! Let's be honest, #tututuesday is all about celebrating a love of dancing, and the beautiful ballet dress that makes it so iconic!
This week I've been reflecting on what this all means to me: Tutu Tuesdays have taken on a life of their own in my little world. • It’s become my ritual for embracing creativity, a reminder that it’s okay to twirl around and let the dance shine! • It’s an ode to all the beautiful, powerful stories that we get to share through the language of dance, whether we’re in the studio or just living our everyday lives! • It's an amazing opportunity to connect with all the passionate people across this big, beautiful world of ballet, no matter where you’re from! So join me in your best tutu – we're spreading the love of dancing and all its magical little details! And remember, in a world where anything goes, don't be afraid to dance to the beat of your own drum and wear what makes your heart sing, because, baby, you were born to dance!
