Tutu Tuesday in Bagdad, Tasmania: A Celebration of Grace and Glitz #tututuesday
Hey lovelies, it’s your girl, Chloe, from the Dance with Chloe blog! 👋 It's another sunny Tuesday down under and what’s more glamorous than rocking a tutu? That's right, Tutu Tuesday! 🩰
Today I'm taking you to the quaint and gorgeous town of Bagdad, Tasmania – nestled amongst stunning countryside and surrounded by incredible views, this spot is a real gem for those seeking tranquility. I ventured here for the weekend, but after getting some real Tutu Tuesday vibes from the town’s local ballet studio, I just had to share my thoughts with all of you. 💖
Honestly, there’s something so magical about a tutu, don't you think? ✨ I mean, it’s a symbol of dance, grace, and beauty. It can be whimsical and romantic in a soft, flowing chiffon, or powerful and fierce in a structured, box-pleated style. Every single one, regardless of whether it’s a classic or contemporary design, makes a statement, and for this Tuesday’s look, I decided on a a whimsical, ethereal pink and white tulle tutu – the perfect way to brighten up my day, don't you think? 🥰
Bagdad is home to a vibrant ballet community. In fact, the Bagdad Ballet Studio boasts some truly incredible talent – I’ve been fortunate enough to meet the director, a wonderful woman named Ms. Darcy. She’s got such a passion for dance, and she’s doing a brilliant job nurturing young talents. Their annual performance is absolutely one of the highlights of Bagdad's events calendar! ✨
Now, my trip wasn’t all about ballet (although let's be honest, it always feels like ballet to me – even the way I navigate through shops 🩰 !). It was also about exploring the beauty of Bagdad and surrounding areas, from the pristine wilderness to the picturesque farms and vineyards. If you’re after an escape from the city, a quick road trip to Bagdad is definitely worth it. The peace and tranquility of this place are absolutely magical, making it a true inspiration for a Tutu Tuesday. 💖
So, let’s chat a little more about the importance of dance in Australia – because it's HUGE. Ballet, contemporary, hip hop, even tap… all these genres flourish here. 🇦🇺 You can find talented dancers performing everywhere - from the city to rural communities – and with communities like Bagdad supporting them, it’s really no wonder dance in Australia is just amazing! 🙌
A huge shout-out to Bagdad for making me feel so inspired! 🎉 Now, you go get your Tutu Tuesday on – I'd love to hear all about how you celebrate! ❤️
Here's to dancing in the sunshine! #tututuesday ☀️
But before we go… here are my top 5 tips for Tutu Tuesday styling!
- Rock it with a Casual Twist: Throw on your fave white t-shirt or denim jacket, or go for a more relaxed vibe with a flowy top and sandals. 💖
- Be Bold! Try a bold red lip to add some extra oomph to your outfit. 💋
- Go For Contrast: Pick a tutu that's a little more striking – a bright colour or a metallic shade for a dramatic, modern look! 💖
- Add a touch of Bling! Let's face it – glitter and sparkles always up the Tutu Tuesday factor! 🤩 Try adding a pair of crystal earrings, or even a sequin hair clip.
- Embrace The Fun: The most important thing about Tutu Tuesday is just having fun! ✨ Enjoy dancing around and feel confident and beautiful!
Stay sparkly, gorgeous! 🤩
Love,
Chloe 💖
