Tutu Tuesday in Kinglake, Victoria: A Ballet Blogger’s Delight
Hey, gorgeous ballet lovers! It's your girl, Amelia, back with another post all about our favourite day of the week: Tutu Tuesday! Now, you might be wondering, what exactly is Tutu Tuesday? Well, it's a global movement where ballerinas, dance enthusiasts, and anyone who loves a little twirl embrace the power of the tutu. And let me tell you, there's no better place to celebrate than here in Kinglake, Victoria, a small town nestled amidst the picturesque hills of Victoria, Australia.
This Tuesday, I decided to break out my classic **Romantic Tutu** for a photoshoot at the Kinglake Arboretum. You know, the kind with layers and layers of soft tulle that flows effortlessly with every pirouette. This tutu, a timeless piece of ballet history, is the embodiment of grace and beauty, just like the arboretum itself.
But it wasn't just about the tutu; it was about embracing the freedom of movement and the joy of dance. As I twirled among the trees, the wind catching the layers of my tulle, I felt truly connected to the artistry of ballet. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in the rich history of ballet in Australia, a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate audiences across the nation.
And let's not forget the importance of supporting local businesses! For this shoot, I partnered with the wonderful folks at "The Dance Studio," Kinglake's hidden gem for all things dance. They provided me with a range of ballet shoes and accessories, perfect for my Tutu Tuesday ensemble. From classic **saddle shoes** to **pointe shoes**, the selection was impressive! And their commitment to supporting local dancers and promoting the arts in Kinglake is truly admirable.
So, where do we go from here? Well, Tutu Tuesday isn't just a one-day event, it's a state of mind. Embrace your inner ballerina, whether you're wearing a traditional tutu or simply twirling in your favourite dress. Let's spread the joy of dance and celebrate the beauty of this incredible art form! And if you're ever in Kinglake, be sure to check out the arboretum and the amazing "Dance Studio" - you won't be disappointed!
Now, onto the fun part! I want to hear from you. What kind of tutus do you love? Do you prefer the classic **Romantic** or the more modern **Contemporary Tutu?** Share your Tutu Tuesday photos and tag #tututuesday!
