Tutu Tuesday in Fitzroy Crossing, Western Australia
G'day from the dusty red heart of the Kimberley, where the sun is a scorcher and the spirits are even hotter. This Aussie ballet girl is making her way around this great land, sharing my love for all things tutu with the world. And where better to kick off a #Tutuesday than in the wild, untamed beauty of Fitzroy Crossing? It's been a while since I last graced a stage, and I've found my inner ballerina channeling those onstage dreams into real-life adventures. Today, it's all about celebrating our fabulous tutus!
Fitzroy Crossing is no ordinary town. It's a meeting place for cultures and communities, with a rich history steeped in Aboriginal tradition. You wouldn't expect to find a ballet studio tucked away in this outback gem, but as a traveller who embraces the unexpected, it's the perfect place to spread the love for tutus and ballet in Australia.
The Perfect Tutu for an Aussie Outback Adventure
The question of the day is, how do you dress for Tutu Tuesday when you're in the middle of the Aussie Outback? I went for something light, airy, and definitely practical. My pick: a classic white tutu with layers of tulle. It felt whimsical and yet somehow totally in sync with the outback landscape. It wasn't a traditional tutu for a performance, this was more of a "boho-chic" tutu with the classic silhouette but made with a breezy material, the kind that swishes effortlessly as you stroll down dusty streets.
- It's lightweight and cool, perfect for those long, hot days.
- It’s incredibly versatile: it looked fab with a simple tee, flowed perfectly with my favorite denim shirt.
- A white tutu feels timeless and fresh and was the perfect backdrop to showcase Fitzroy Crossing' vibrant colours.
The kids in Fitzroy Crossing were blown away. I brought some colorful ribbon, we had a impromptu dance lesson. Imagine the look on these kid’s faces as we twirled and swished those ribbons in the midday heat, under the vast sky of the Western Australian outback. That's how you spread the joy of dance – it’s about connecting, inspiring, and spreading that magical twinkle through a whirl or two.
