Tutu Tuesday in Adelaide, South Australia
Hey everyone, it's your favourite tutu-loving Aussie ballet dancer, back with another installment of #tututuesday!
This week I'm bringing you a special edition all about Adelaide. Now, we all know that Adelaide, South Australia is a vibrant, cultural hub with a flourishing arts scene, and it just so happens that it’s my home town. So today we're celebrating all things ballet, style, and tutus in this beautiful city.
From the historic grandeur of the Adelaide Festival Centre, to the intimate spaces of independent dance studios, Adelaide boasts a fantastic dance scene, which gives our tutu game serious opportunities for variety, my fellow dancers know what I mean! We can dress for the occasion and it really does change up our routine.
As a dancer, tutus have always held a special place in my heart. Their romantic, ethereal presence on stage always takes my breath away. But what about those moments when we're not performing, but still need to look like a ballerina but in our everyday life ?
Now, I know what you might be thinking, “Tutues for everyday? Seriously?"
But let's be real. We all love a little extra pizazz in our wardrobes! Who says a tutu can't be your new signature look? It all comes down to the right styling! Here’s the deal on how to rock your Tutu Tuesday anywhere!
- Classic & Chic A traditional, romantic tutu in a soft tulle like a pink, beige, or white is an elegant, but surprisingly versatile piece. It can add serious sophistication to a jeans-and-tee kind of day. Layer a cute T-shirt or a relaxed tank top on top, throw on a chunky cardigan, and a classic ballet flat to complete the look. You’ll definitely be the talk of the café with that outfit.
- Going for Boho Maybe your style is more about freedom than fashion. Consider trying a tiered tulle skirt instead of the traditional, full ballerina tutu. A bit of crochet or lace embroidery adds a touch of vintage bohemian style to this classic silhouette, and when paired with a vintage blouse or chunky knit sweater, you have that perfectly effortless-cool, Adelaidean vibe.
- Out On the Town Who says that tutu is for theatre only? Let me show you. You can have a whole lot of fun rocking your tutu for an evening event. For nighttime elegance, think a velvet or silk tutu with a simple bodysuit and high heels, maybe a beaded top or a sparkling cardigan. And a statement clutch. Let that tutu do the talking, baby. You can create your own mini black swan moment right here in Adelaide! You'll be turning heads and attracting compliments! And you can really channel your inner prima ballerina at The Gov or the Fowlers live music venues and even if you're going to The Arts Theatre in the city.
As we delve deeper into this week's #tututuesday theme, it's time we take a moment to celebrate our local dance scene. Let's not forget all those incredibly talented dancers in Adelaide who keep the love of ballet alive, spreading its magic with every pirouette and plié.
One thing is for sure, with the way that Adelaide is thriving with its cultural events and diverse artistic talents, Adelaide dancers are rocking some seriously fabulous, inspiring, and on-trend tutu outfits. From Adelaide Ballet Company to the smaller, independent studios, the local dance scene is full of incredible stories and style inspirations. It’s like we have a front-row seat for tutu magic! And you don't even need to buy a ticket to witness it.
For my Aussie dancers in the know, keep an eye out for exciting local performances at Adelaide's renowned theatres and stages throughout the year. And let's not forget about our favourite #tututuesday inspirations - Adelaide’s beautiful public parks with those big trees that make for awesome photo-ops!
