Tutu Tuesday in Lower Chittering, Western Australia #tututuesday
Hey dance lovers, it’s your girl, Amelia, back with another Tutu Tuesday! Today, I’m taking you on a journey to Lower Chittering, Western Australia – a little gem that's definitely worth a spin in your tutu!
Now, I know what you're thinking: “Tutus in Lower Chittering? Is there even a ballet studio out there?” Well, my darling friends, that’s the thing about tutus - they're not just for the big city. They belong everywhere, even in the most unexpected of places! I’m all about bringing ballet to the people, no matter where they may be.
So, picture this: I’m out here in Lower Chittering, a lovely, rural area with some of the most breathtaking sunsets I've ever seen. It's a place where kangaroos roam, birdsong fills the air, and, as it turns out, even a tutu can bring a bit of magic to the mix.
Now, my mission was to explore all the places in Lower Chittering that would scream “Tutu Tuesday!” and let me tell you, I didn’t come back disappointed! First up, the Chittering Agricultural Show – yes, you read that right – a proper country show! You know me, always embracing the unexpected and showing the world that ballet doesn’t just belong in a stuffy old theatre. It belongs at the showgrounds too. Imagine me, a flash of pink in a classic, single-layered Romantic tutu amidst the sheep, the cattle, and the fried potato van – a truly unforgettable sight, I reckon.
After conquering the showground, I took my tutu on a road trip. The country lanes winding through Lower Chittering provided the perfect backdrop. My tutu billowed behind me like a fairytale dress as the sunshine kissed my cheeks. There was a real sense of freedom that I could feel in the air – and that's exactly what tutu-wearing is all about, you know – freedom to move, to twirl, and to embrace your inner dancer!
My tutu and I then took a detour to a little park – the kind of place that wouldn't seem out of place in a vintage children's book. The air was thick with the smell of freshly cut grass and I could hear children’s laughter in the distance. This is where the true magic of Tutu Tuesday started to unfold. The kids, eyes wide with wonder, watched me dance, their faces lit up by a kind of awe and joy that’s hard to describe.
You see, there's something so pure about ballet. It has the power to connect with everyone – from the kids who’d never seen a tutu before to the local sheep that eyed me curiously from afar! It's an expression of life itself, and in Lower Chittering, it found its natural rhythm.
We even ended our journey at a local vintage shop – the kind that smells like cinnamon and old books, filled with treasures from a bygone era. Of course, we had to snap some pics, and let me tell you, my tutu looked amazing amidst all those antique trinkets and handmade lace doilies. It’s like the tutu became a time traveller, bringing a touch of old-world elegance to a modern day shop. A ballet fan couldn't ask for a better end to the day!
Lower Chittering proved to me that the beauty of ballet extends far beyond the theatre stages. It's a language everyone understands. I’m sharing this story not only because it's about the joy of dancing in a tutu but also because it’s about embrace who you are and to embrace the unexpected places your passion can take you. So, if you live in a town that's a little bit off the beaten track, don’t let that stop you. Put on your tutu and get out there!
I've worn so many tutus over the years but I’ve been loving experimenting with different styles:
- **Romantic Tutu:** This was my pick for the agricultural show – it just added that extra bit of elegance to the rustic charm of the event.
- **Classical Tutu:** A staple for any ballet enthusiast! This style, with its multi-layered, and often pointed, shape, worked beautifully on the country roads and the little park, giving me the ultimate fairytale feel.
- **Contemporary Tutu:** Okay, so I haven’t tried a contemporary tutu yet. But that’s on the list! Imagine it in a landscape like Lower Chittering. A sleek, streamlined style, a modern twist on the classic - could be incredible!
And hey, while we're on the subject of tutus and fun – remember, every Tuesday is #TutuTuesday! So don’t just take my word for it, get out there and put on your tutu. No matter where you live, no matter what you do, let your inner dancer shine through. And, as always, don’t forget to share your Tutu Tuesday adventures with me! I love seeing all of your creative expressions!
