Tutu Tuesday in Cooran, Queensland: A Whirlwind of Romance and Style
Itās Tutu Tuesday in Cooran, Queensland, and the air is buzzing with excitement! You wouldnāt believe the buzz in our small town today - a true testament to the magic of the tutu! This weekās theme is all about **"Romance & Twirls"** and let me tell you, Cooran has certainly embraced it!
Itās funny, you wouldnāt expect a place like Cooran, a little Aussie town nestled amongst lush green hills and known for its friendly community and abundance of wildlife, to be such a fashion powerhouse! But when it comes to tutu Tuesdays, it's like stepping into a fairytale. Every Tuesday, the ladies of Cooran embrace the twirling magic and fill the streets with a colourful flurry of tutus. From the quaint shops and cafes, to the bustling markets and serene parks, tutus reign supreme, adding an extra touch of whimsy and joy to the everyday.
It all started a couple of years ago, when a group of us local girls were chatting at our weekly ballet class. We talked about how much we loved our tutus, how they made us feel powerful and graceful, and how it would be fantastic to celebrate our shared passion in our own unique way. Thus, Tutu Tuesday was born.
The concept is simple. Every Tuesday, we, the āCooran Tutu Divasā as we affectionately call ourselves, gather at the town square. Each week, there is a new āthemeā - think āvintageā, ābrightā, ātulle wonderlandā - you name it! Then we twirl, chat, share our love for ballet, and get those endorphins pumping! We love being able to inspire the community with our shared love for ballet, and see everyone embracing this joyful ritual.
Today's theme "Romance & Twirls" has been a delightful spectacle. We saw all sorts of fabulous tutus! Classic poetic tutus made from soft layers of tulle, shimmering sparkly tutus in a galaxy of colours, whimsical fluffy tutus, even some with hand-sewn embellishments - all in soft shades of pink, blue, lavender and even a few bold fuchsia and crimson.
- A young lass wearing a classic, pale-pink, layered, Romantic tutu ā she was positively radiant in her bright, sun-kissed complexion and with her golden hair dancing in the breeze.
- My personal favourite was a breathtakingly gorgeous, full-length, Romantic tulle tutu ā a dreamy combination of delicate tulle, soft embroidery, and delicate silver sequins, the whole thing just dripping with pure, romantic charm! This particular tutu had been a vintage piece passed down through the generations.
- Then there was an incredible, swirling, vibrant crimson tutu - the kind you could just picture as a prima ballerina performing on a grand stage - so very theatrical, flamboyant and glamorous!
Cooran is brimming with talented and creative women - a real hive of fashionistas, and their imagination seems to run wild on Tutu Tuesday. The tutus we see every week are a testament to their individuality, their love for ballet, and their sense of fun! Weāve even had the local bakers get on board - weāve seen exquisite little tutu-shaped cupcakes and cookies. Some cafes even create themed beverages and special treats like pink lemonade and vanilla and raspberry tulle-layered cakes.
There are men, too, who get involved - weāve seen some brave lads twirling their partners around, laughing with them as they all participate. It is this wonderful spirit of community, this willingness to embrace lifeās simple pleasures that truly embodies Tutu Tuesday! We might be in a small town, but thereās no stopping us when it comes to celebrating art, fashion and dance.
More than anything, Tutu Tuesday reminds me why I love ballet. The power of a well-placed pliƩ, the joy of flying through the air during a grand jetƩ, the magic of a twirling pirouette. Tutu Tuesday is a day where I can connect with this world - with my passions - and it is wonderful to be able to share it with my community!
Whether you are a professional dancer, a budding ballerina, a mum who loved the idea of Tutu Tuesday and brought her daughters along, or even a passer-by who stumbled upon the event, Tutu Tuesday in Cooran, Queensland is sure to inspire and lift your spirits. So, make a note to visit Cooran next Tuesday - donāt forget your tutu, and your sense of fun. And remember, youāre never too old to twirl!
