Cobar, New South Wales, Australia: Tutu Tuesday - Spreading the Love of Ballet (and Tutus) Across the Outback! Hey fellow tutu-lovers! It's your girl, Lily, back with another Tutu Tuesday post, this time coming to you live from the dusty, but delightful, town of Cobar in the heart of New South Wales. I'm here to show you that even in the outback, you can embrace your inner ballerina, one twirl-tastic Tutu Tuesday at a time!
A Tutu in Every Town So, whatā€™s it like being a ballet dancer in the heart of the Australian outback? Well, letā€™s just say it takes a special kind of ballerina. While we might not have the grand opera houses of Sydney and Melbourne, Cobar has something much more special: a strong community spirit and a love for all things creative! You wouldnā€™t believe how many people stopped me on the street today asking, ā€œIs that a tutu? How fabulous!ā€ Itā€™s just wonderful seeing everyone getting in the Tutu Tuesday spirit. I wore a bright pink tutu with a whimsical floral pattern. It felt perfectly fitting for the colourful Aussie landscape that surrounded me. It reminded me of the breathtaking sunsets we have out here! From Cobar to the Big City and Back Again While I live in Sydney, I grew up in a town not much different from Cobar. The outback played a big part in shaping my love for ballet. In a small town, you find a way to create your own magic. Ballet, even without a professional dance studio, became my sanctuary. It was my way to escape, express myself, and even explore my own unique interpretation of the classic steps. Now, I find myself back in the outback, showcasing my passion, encouraging others, and proving that thereā€™s a Tutu Tuesday in every town, no matter how far out you are! What makes a good tutu? Iā€™m always getting asked about tutus. What's the secret to finding the perfect one? Let me tell you, finding the right tutu can be like finding the right dance partnerā€”itā€™s a real connection! Here are a few key things to remember when choosing a tutu: * **The fabric is everything!** Tutu fabric should be lightweight and floaty. Think tulle, silk, and organza. * **Finding the perfect length.** There are so many different styles to explore! * For a classic look, go for the knee-length tutu. * If you want to feel extra ballerina-esque, go for the longer, fuller romantic tutus. * If you're feeling daring, embrace a sassy short tutu that's perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your look. * **The more layers, the more drama!** Embrace a full and billowing tutu that really stands out. The more tulle, the more drama! * **Donā€™t be afraid of colour!** Think bold shades that really pop and show off your personality! I personally adore pink and peach, as well as green and blue to accentuate the beauty of the outback. The power of the Tutu So, hereā€™s the real message behind Tutu Tuesday: We're spreading joy and confidence wherever we go. Ballet is not just about grace and technical prowessā€”it's about finding the power within ourselves to express, to connect, and to share. That's the spirit of Tutu Tuesday in Cobar and in towns and cities all across Australia! What to Expect Next Tuesday Iā€™m already working on my Tutu Tuesday ensemble for next week! Iā€™ll be posting some sneak peeks on my Instagram stories. Join me in the comments below. Share your Tutu Tuesday plans and maybe your fave tutus!
