Tutu Tuesday in McLaren Flat, South Australia - #tututuesday
G'day lovelies! It's your favourite tutu-loving Aussie ballet dancer here, bringing you the latest from the world of tulle and twirls, and today, we're celebrating the joy of all things tutu right here in the gorgeous McLaren Flat, South Australia!
Now, if you know me, you know my heart belongs to the tutu. I'm talking about the classic romantic tutus, those wispy layers of tulle that float around you like a cloud. We've got the 'swans-in-the-lake' soft pastels, those grand-and-majestic, shimmering royal blues, the deep emerald greens... it's just pure ballet magic!
But Tutu Tuesday isn't just about the dreamy romantics. Let's face it, sometimes you've got to be a little edgy, a little daring. Enter the modern tutus, with their sassy silhouettes and bold colour palettes. They're like your go-to LBD (little black dress), only with more fluff and bounce. A bit of charcoal grey with a hint of neon? Yeah, we're doing it. Red? Bold? Yes please! This ain't your grandmother's tutu!
Speaking of boldness, did you know Australia has a thriving ballet scene? From the grand Australian Ballet Company in Melbourne to the smaller, regional companies like the Adelaide Youth Ballet, there's a world of talent and creativity blooming right here. It's a chance to witness the raw passion and beauty of ballet, and yes, there's always a generous helping of tutus involved.
Now, I might be biased, but the South Australian ballet scene has a special magic about it. Just last weekend, I saw the Adelaide Youth Ballet's production of 'Swan Lake,' and I swear, it took my breath away. Seeing young dancers perform with so much grace and precision, all those beautiful costumes and, of course, the tutus, it was a breathtaking reminder of the artistry and elegance ballet offers.
Tutu Tuesday, for me, isn't just a day to flaunt my favourite tulle creations; it's a celebration of a love that started as a child, a passion that drives me every day, and a dance with the divine that lives on within the delicate, whimsical magic of the tutu.
Here are some things I'm loving in McLaren Flat this week:
- Cafe Vida: Perfect for a coffee and croissant before your dance class!
- McLaren Vale wine region: Take a detour and discover some world-class drops!
- McLaren Flat Farmers Market: The perfect spot to pick up fresh, local produce, and you might just score some gorgeous flowers to match your tutu!

Until next time, keep twirling, keep dancing, keep expressing yourself with the glorious joy of the tutu.
