Tutu Tuesday in Yackandandah, Victoria: A Tutu-tastic Day Out
Hello, fellow dance lovers and fashionistas! It's your girl, Amelia, here from Ballet Down Under, your go-to source for all things tutu-tastic in Australia! And guess what? Today's all about tutus, darling! I'm in the picturesque little town of Yackandandah in Victoria, and it's time to celebrate #tututuesday in style!
Yackandandah is a charmer, full of charming Victorian architecture and cobblestone streets, the perfect backdrop for a day dedicated to tutus, right? Think frilly Romantic tutus and graceful classical tutus – perfect for twirling around the quaint town square, posing by the Yackandandah Creek, or striking a pose in front of the beautiful murals around the town. Don't even get me started on the dreamy pastel colours and gorgeous patterns.
Today's Tutu Tuesday mission? To bring a bit of the magical world of ballet to this adorable little town. It's about reminding everyone that tutus are for more than just the stage. They're about fun, expression, and making a statement. So put on your favourite tutu, and let's get this Tutu Tuesday party started!
First things first, where do you find the perfect #tututuesday outfit? I found some fabulously kitsch and totally fun vintage tutus at a second-hand shop on the main street. Seriously, it's like stepping into a vintage fairytale. They have gorgeous silk, lace and feathery creations in every colour imaginable! And if you're looking for a more modern feel, head over to the art studio in town – they sell handmade tutus, and let me tell you, these are some next-level pieces! Think of tutus made with recycled fabrics, bright prints and unique shapes. Just amazing!
But the fun doesn’t stop with tutus. Yackandandah is bursting with spots for great pictures – like a real life Pinterest board, only better! Here's what we did:
Here’s a rundown of some #tututuesday photo ops in Yackandandah- **The Clocktower** – Iconic spot and always perfect for a graceful pose or a twirl!
- **The Old Bank Building** – This is where the vintage store was, and the building has a cool Victorian vibe.
- **The Town Square** – This is Yackandandah’s heart. Bustling with activity and perfect for striking a playful, ballerina pose!
- **The Murals** - There are murals everywhere in this town! Think gorgeous colourful flowers, birds in flight, and scenes from nature, they’re perfect backdrops for stunning pictures.
- **Yackandandah Creek** - So pretty. We did a little ballerina picnic right next to it, it was just beautiful.
The energy here in Yackandandah is electric, everyone’s buzzing about this Tutu Tuesday and there’s this infectious joy in the air. If you’re ever thinking of a place to visit, add this town to your list – it's an easy day trip from Melbourne, but it feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
It's amazing to see so many people embrace this #tututuesday spirit. And remember, there’s always room for more tutus and more joy. You know where to find me: @balletdownunder – I’ll be posting my tutu adventures. Come join the Tutu Tuesday crew!
I’ve gotta get a bit sentimental here for a moment. You know what’s so special about tutus, they connect everyone. The little girl twirling in her pink tulle, the professional ballerina dancing on stage – there’s this common thread. Tutu Tuesday’s are really about celebrating this love, passion, and expression through a universal symbol.
The Ballet scene in Australia is so vibrant, the dedication and artistry of dancers never cease to amaze me. Tutu Tuesdays give everyone the chance to experience that joy – the sheer joy of a tutu!
