Tutu Tuesday in Kyabram, Victoria: A Whirlwind of Tulle and Twirls Hey fellow twirlers! It's your favourite ballet-obsessed Aussie blogger, back with another installment of #Tutuesday! This week, we're taking a road trip to Kyabram, Victoria, a charming country town known for its friendly faces, wide-open spaces, and… you guessed it… Tutus! It all started with a Facebook post, a spark of an idea to bring some Parisian flair to the streets of Kyabram. The post called on everyone, young and old, to dust off their tulle and get ready for a tutu extravaganza. As the saying goes, “she’s got legs!” The response was electrifying, and before long, the community was buzzing with excitement for Tutu Tuesday. A kaleidoscope of colour When I arrived in Kyabram, it was like stepping into a whimsical ballet production. Everywhere I looked, people were twirling, leaping, and strutting their stuff in tutus of every shape and colour. There were fluffy pink tutus perfect for a sugar plum fairy, sleek black tutus that wouldn't be out of place on the Bolshoi, and even some cheeky neon tutus for those who want to make a bold statement. I even spotted a couple of families decked out in matching tutus, looking like something straight out of a vintage Christmas card. My heart almost skipped a beat, so sweet! Tutu Twirls, A Story in Photos Let's dive into a visual story of Tutu Tuesday: * **Pic 1: The little ballerinas** - A group of adorable little girls with wide eyes and hopeful hearts, swirling around a park fountain. Their tulle creations, were, in their words "pretty" and a testament to childhood innocence. * **Pic 2: The Glam Squad** - A bunch of young mums who put their own unique twist on tutu style - think flowing floral prints, sparkly bodices and a splash of playful colours. * **Pic 3: The Dog Days of Tutu** - Canine companions got in on the action too! I caught a glimpse of a golden retriever sporting a miniature tutu. You can't beat that dog days of summer, and dog-days of Tutu's! * **Pic 4: A Town Comes Together** - Kyabram's main street transformed into a stage, with tutu-wearing shoppers, shopkeepers, and even the mayor joining the festive dance. Even the local butcher donned a mini tutu! You could hear the tutus swishing with the town's energy. * **Pic 5: A Tutu Sunrise** - A sunrise over a field, silhouetted against the warm dawn were two local school children on their way to Tutu school. Their bright smiles were more captivating than any grand stage performance, #Tutuesday: A Movement for the Masses There was something truly special about the air in Kyabram that day. It was a reminder that dancing doesn't have to be confined to a theatre or a stage. Tutu Tuesday was a celebration of the joy, creativity, and inclusiveness of dance, open to everyone, in any town, on any street corner. And it's not just about the tutus. It's about celebrating community, connection and our shared passion for all things ballet and fashion. We could all learn a little something from Kyabram, where creativity knows no bounds.
