Lake Cathie, NSW, #tututuesday

G’day, dance lovers! It’s your girl, Lily, coming at you live from the sun-drenched shores of Lake Cathie, New South Wales. The air is crisp, the beach is calling, and you know what that means? It’s time for… *drumroll* Tutu Tuesday!

Now, I know what you’re thinking. "Tutus on the beach? Lily, you’re bonkers!” But hear me out, my lovelies. We Aussies know how to make things work, and our love for ballet, it just doesn’t stop at the studio door, you know? We're talking tutu twirls under the gum trees, leaping through fields of wildflowers, and let’s be honest, even a bit of beachside ballet on a gorgeous day. Why not?

Speaking of tutus, have you ever noticed how each one has its own little personality? Like the classic, romantic **Romantic tutu**, with its layers of soft tulle, it's the embodiment of fairytale grace. Then there’s the sleek, streamlined **Contemporary tutu**, with its sharp lines and bold movements – all about raw emotion and freedom of expression. And then you’ve got the fun, flirty **Character tutu**, often sporting playful accents and a hint of mischief.

Personally, I’m partial to a **Romantic tutu**, it's got that air of elegance about it, especially when you’re rocking that perfect seaside sunset backdrop. I’m thinking a pale blush-colored one today, maybe with a touch of silver glitter. Just a touch, mind you! You don’t want to overdo it – we want to be subtle, yet stunning. But, hey, who am I to judge? You do you! You’ve got your own style, and rocking it, is all about confidence. That’s what ballet teaches us after all!

Now, I’m gonna make a confession. Being a ballet dancer in Australia isn't always easy, you know? We’re miles away from the major ballet companies in the world, but you know what? We make our own dance world, our own scene. We're passionate, creative and resilient, and our tutus, they tell that story too. This Tutu Tuesday, I want to see those Aussie ballerinas shine – whether you’re dancing at the beach, the bush, or just twirling around your living room, let's rock it with that true Aussie spirit!

So, to all my beautiful, ballet-loving buddies, don’t forget to snap a pic of your tutu action and post it with #tututuesday. Let’s spread the love of dance across this gorgeous country. Let’s get that ballet vibe flowing from Lake Cathie, New South Wales all the way to Sydney Harbour and beyond. Now, where's my glitter, and let's get this party started!
