It's Tuesday, which means it's Tutu Tuesday! I don't know about you guys, but I've been absolutely *living* for this new trend sweeping across Instagram, and Southport, Queensland is certainly not lagging behind. Seriously, the amount of tutus I've seen on my daily commute this morning? Unreal.
As a professional ballet dancer with a passion for fashion (who doesn't, right?), this trend has me feeling all kinds of excited. Not only is it a celebration of dance, but it's also a chance to let our inner ballerina shine, even if we're just heading to the shops for some milk.
I've gotta admit, there's something truly magical about twirling around in a tutu, no matter your age. It’s pure joy, pure fun, and a way to remind yourself to just embrace life’s little whimsy – which, let's face it, we all need from time to time, am I right? Tutu Styles that Make a Statement
We've all got that one little black dress, right? But tutus, they're like a whole other level of wardrobe staple. There are so many different styles to suit every taste, personality and body type, and it's just a joy to see the creative ways people are incorporating them into their daily looks. * **The Classic:** A timeless, simple style with a fitted bodice and layers of tulle, perfect for that graceful ballerina look. * **The Romantic:** This one usually features softer, flowy fabrics like chiffon or lace, often with a delicate floral print, just begging to be twirled. * **The Edgy:** If you're all about that "fierce and fabulous" vibe, you can rock a tutu in leather or velvet, or even opt for a shorter length, a bit of a modern-day take on the classic style. * **The Fun and Flirty:** A little more playful with pops of color, embellishments like sequins, and maybe even some feathers – perfect for unleashing your inner party princess. * **The "Dress it Up" Tutu:** Wear it with a blazer or a chic sweater, or try a statement top like a silk blouse. Add some killer heels and a stylish clutch, and you've got yourself an outfit that's both comfortable and ready for anything. Tutu Tuesday in Southport: Spreading the Love of Dance

Australia has always held a special place in my heart for ballet. From the Royal Ballet of Australia to the smaller, local dance schools scattered across the country, we have an incredible passion for the art form. I’m incredibly grateful for the ballet training I received here – the teachers, the community, and the dedication of the students. It really sets the stage for some truly stunning ballet.
