Tutu Tuesday in Horsham, Victoria: A Celebration of Dance and Fashion #tututuesday
G'day, fellow dance enthusiasts! It's your girl, Amelia here, back with another blog post. This week, we're celebrating Tutu Tuesday in Horsham, Victoria. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the hashtag, #tututuesday is a global celebration of all things tutu. Every Tuesday, dancers, ballet lovers, and fashionistas around the world share photos and stories of their favorite tutus, whether they're classic or contemporary.
I know what you're thinking: tutus in Horsham? What's going on here?! But hear me out. Even though it's not the dance capital of Australia (that's probably Melbourne!), Horsham has a vibrant dance community with several studios that offer ballet classes, workshops, and performances.
Now, let's talk tutus! My favourite type of tutu is the **Romantic tutu** - you know, the layered tulle masterpiece that brings a fairytale feel to any dance. It's perfect for showcasing graceful movements and it always catches the light so beautifully. But of course, I appreciate all types of tutus! We have the classic **Classical tutu**, which is typically more structured and offers a cleaner look. Then there are **Modern tutus**, which often use different materials and have more experimental designs.
Here in Horsham, I find inspiration everywhere, from the historical buildings to the expansive countryside. We might not have the biggest theatres but that doesn't mean we can't rock a **practice tutu**. There’s a certain magic in stepping into a class and knowing you’re wearing a piece of ballet history! It really inspires a sense of community and shared passion for the art. Whether you're a seasoned dancer, a beginner, or just a fan of ballet, there's a place for you here.
My biggest tip for participating in #tututuesday? Don't be afraid to get creative! I recently saw a stunning tutu on Instagram that was a **combination of traditional and modern elements**. It was simply incredible. Another fantastic example was a photo featuring a bunch of ballet dancers in Horsham, wearing colourful tutus on a street corner. It was a playful way of bringing awareness to ballet in our local community and showed just how diverse the tutu styles are! It wasn’t about showcasing a specific brand of tutus – it was about sharing our love of dance with the world.
Remember, Tutu Tuesday is all about having fun! Share your tutu stories and photos on social media and let’s celebrate the magic of dance. We can show the world what amazing dancers are here in Horsham! Don't forget to use the hashtag #tututuesday. I can’t wait to see all your creations!
