Tutu Tuesday in Corryong, Victoria: A Fashionable Frenzy
G'day lovelies! It's your girl, Amelia here, straight from the barre and into your newsfeed. As a professional ballerina living and breathing ballet in the land down under, I can't tell you how much I'm living for #TutTuesday. And today? It's taking over the little town of Corryong in Victoria.
Imagine, if you will, the sun shining on the rolling hills, a fresh breeze rustling the leaves of the old gum trees, and a whole community united by one common passion – tulle! Okay, maybe not "united" in the sense of a perfectly synchronized pas de deux, but you get the gist. From the young to the old, everyone is donning their best tutus, and let me tell you, it's an absolute hoot!
It started as a joke, really. My fellow dancers and I were laughing over the trend of "Tutu Tuesdays" that was popping up all over the globe. We decided we needed to put a Victorian spin on it. After all, Australia has its own vibrant dance scene, with talented ballerinas and ballet schools scattered all across the country. And with a splash of Aussie humour, the idea of #TutTuesday in Corryong was born.
And boy, oh boy, has it taken off!
It wasn't just the local ballet school who took part – even those with absolutely no ballet experience embraced the spirit. Kids in fluffy, pastel tutus giggled their way through town, their parents not far behind sporting bold, statement tutus in bright hues. Grandmothers strutted down the street, a splash of sequins adorning their vintage tutus, proudly embracing their inner ballerinas.
And that’s the beauty of #TutTuesday, isn't it? It transcends the boundaries of dance and fashion. It’s about finding the fun, embracing self-expression, and maybe even letting your inner ballerina out to play, even if just for a day. Even the corgis at the local dog park seemed to be in on the action, strutting their stuff with tutu-inspired bandanas! It was, dare I say, paw-some!
