Monto, Queensland: Tutu Tuesday Strikes Again!

Hey gorgeous, it’s your gal Sarah here from ‘Dancing Down Under’ - ready to bring some serious tulle and twirling to your Tuesday! And guess what? We're talking all things tutu today. It’s time for #TutuTuesday in Monto! That’s right, Monto! It’s a beautiful, sun-drenched corner of Queensland that’s getting a real dose of ballerina glamour!

As you all know, a good #TutuTuesday ain’t just about the tutus. It’s about feeling powerful and beautiful. It’s about spreading smiles and glitter (because that’s what really makes it magical, amirite?).

This week’s tutu, I’ve gotta say, is a real knock-out! The #TutuTuesday trend's been exploding here in Australia. I mean, the girls of Monto really know how to rock it. They’ve got an awesome variety - the classical ones with the layers upon layers, the ones with the cheeky little split sides. This one, let’s just say, it’s one of those ones that you wouldn't normally expect to see in Monto - It’s black, and absolutely stunning with those amazing sequined detail on the bodice, almost reminiscent of an American Football costume if it was created by a fashion icon rather than an amateur sports enthusiast! It's definitely a look that commands attention - and who doesn't want to make a statement in the sweetest balletwear?

Honestly, Monto has really taken the whole ‘Tutu Tuesday’ thing to the next level. They’re not afraid to embrace their inner prima ballerina. This week's #TutuTuesday style brings out the most fierce, fierce fashion statement! The whole town just lights up on a #TutuTuesday - it's like watching an epic ballet show unfold, just with a whole lotta more sunshine.

You'd be amazed at what you can do in a tutu! Just check out the amazing pictures on social media – everyone’s sharing their own amazing Tutu Tuesdays and they are truly inspiring. But if you're new to #TutuTuesday, let's break it down:

  • Pick Your Perfect Tutu: No matter if you're going for the classically elegant or the outrageously bold, there’s a tutu out there for you, darling! Grab your little girls dress-up tutus, a fancy costume store's creation, or find something truly original. (And if you're really serious about your tutus, why not check out the amazing costume stores here in Monto? Seriously, you guys are spoilt for choice!)
  • Accessorize With Flair: The tutu is the canvas, so let your personality paint the masterpiece! A few good pairs of bright-colored ballet flats, some cute and quirky little earrings, and maybe a big bow - just like those ballerinas who go up for their grand pas de deux! Don’t forget that stunning, smile-inducing sparkle!
  • Get Your Glam On: It's not just about the tutu; it’s about being your own fearless self! Don’t be afraid to get creative - try some colourful eyeliner, a perfect shade of red lipstick (that you definitely wouldn’t get on a normal Tuesday, right?), or try a hairpiece - a headband, a bun with a beautiful butterfly clip, you name it!
  • Posing Perfect: You know what? There’s no need to be a ballerina to get involved. Even if you can’t kick-up those perfect leg kicks (unless you secretly can), we all know the right photo can really amp up those endorphins! You'll look incredible and ready to take on anything! You got this!
  • Share It With the World: It’s all about sharing that inner sparkle. Snap those photos, tell us your story, and use those #TutuTuesday tags. Remember, we all inspire each other!

Seriously, the vibe here is incredible. This tiny Queensland town shows the world that dance, style and community can mix, and they do it with absolute grace. That’s what makes #TutuTuesday so brilliant – it unites us all, no matter if we’re at a ballet performance at the Opera House, right here in Monto, or on the other side of the world. So go on, go grab that tutu. It's a chance to tap into that joyful, free-spirited energy - the kind that lets you fly! And, remember, darling, don't be afraid to twirl a little bit. That’s what it’s all about - joy, expression, and making the world a bit brighter one tutu at a time. Love, Sarah, xoxox
