Tutu Tuesday 22787

Tutu Tuesday in Wickham, Western Australia: A Celebration of Ballet and Style #tututuesday Okay, fellow twirling enthusiasts, it’s time to unleash our inner ballerinas and celebrate the glorious, magical, and utterly fabulous invention that is the tutu! Yes, I’m talking about #Tututuesday, the weekly occasion where we put our love of ballet on full display and embrace all things tulle. As a ballerina myself, I’m blessed to spend my days surrounded by the iconic tutus - from the grand romantic tutus to the contemporary, whimsical tutus that make my heart flutter (and occasionally get stuck in the fabric). But, as I found myself strolling through the bustling streets of Wickham this morning, I realized that the beauty of the tutu extends beyond the ballet studio. I see tutus popping up everywhere – on street-style icons, fashion magazines, even the occasional cheeky dog. So, my mission today? To celebrate Tutu Tuesday in the heart of Western Australia. First, let’s be honest - the tutu has undergone quite the transformation. Gone are the days when it was solely confined to the grand halls of the opera. The modern-day tutu is bold, playful, and ready to rock the world (literally). This brings me to my first encounter – the utterly stunning “Urban Tutus” storefront just off the main street. It was a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours, sassy fabrics, and a mix of classic and contemporary styles. They even had a section dedicated to “Tutus for All,” featuring sizes that catered to absolutely everyone. Let me tell you, my inner child did a pirouette of joy! I spotted a tutu that was the perfect shade of sky blue with shimmering sequins - something straight out of a fairytale. I knew it had to be mine. So, I tried it on, and the joy, the confidence, the pure whimsicalness – I felt like I could leap to the moon! I may have actually done a couple of twirls in the middle of the shop…no regrets! My second stop? A delicious little cafe called "La Petite Danse" where they serve the most amazing pastries, coffees, and yes, you guessed it, “Tutu Latte Art”. The owner, an ex-ballet dancer herself, told me about the "Tutu Thursday" special. On Thursdays, everyone who comes dressed in a tutu gets a complimentary mini cupcake! That’s just the kind of creative, fun energy we need in our lives! I popped on my new tutu, grabbing a perfect "Tutu Latte Art" - it had a swirling ballet shoe in the latte foam! So fancy. Feeling completely inspired by the vibrant spirit of Wickham, I decided to take my tutu-clad self for a wander down to the beach. Imagine my surprise – there I met a group of people holding a "Tutu Beach Party". There was music, dancing, and a lot of laughter. This whole thing just proved how versatile a tutu really is. Think about it: What's more magical than dancing in the sand with the waves crashing behind you? While Tutu Tuesday is all about expressing our love for dance and fashion, it's also about bringing people together. This day is a reminder that you don't need a stage, a costume, or a perfect technique to be a dancer – you just need a sense of joy and a bit of whimsy. So, my dear readers, don't be shy - embrace the power of the tutu! Let your inner ballerina shine, even if you just twirl in your living room. Grab your friends, put on your most fabulous tutu, and celebrate all the joy, fun, and freedom that Tutu Tuesday brings! #tututuesday #WickhamWA #balletlove #twirlwithme
