Tutu Tuesday in Capella, Queensland: A Tutu Takeover

G’day, fellow dance lovers! This Tutu Tuesday, I'm bringing the sparkle right to Capella, Queensland! Now, I know what you're thinking: "Tutu Tuesday in Capella? Really? Isn't that a bit… far out?". But trust me, this town's got more heart than you'd expect. Plus, it’s all about spreading the ballet love – and believe me, Capella needs a touch of ‘pointe shoe magic.’ 👠🩰

Now, I'm not talking about the typical tulle tutu here, though those do have their place, right? This Tuesday is about celebrating all kinds of tutus, from the classic Romantic tutus with their soft and airy layers to the more modern and structured tutus with those crisp lines. We're talkin' tutus with colour, tutus with stories, and tutus with just a touch of Capella spirit!

For those unfamiliar, Capella is a charming, quintessential rural Aussie town. It’s known for its kind people, the iconic pub with its classic Aussie vibes, and… that’s about it. Yep, that’s what makes this town so special! We're far away from the bright lights and bustling energy of Melbourne or Sydney, but that just means the spotlight is even brighter for this Tutu Tuesday takeover. Think "ballet on a smaller stage," but with bigger, bolder heart. And that’s exactly what I love about it – the intimate setting, the chance to connect with fellow ballet lovers from all over.

Here's how this Capella Tutu Tuesday is going down:

  • First things first: The Instagram Takeover Let's start off strong. From the moment the sun rises, I’m transforming my Instagram into a Capella-focused ballet wonderland. Think postcard-perfect pics of those iconic Aussie sunsets in Capella but with a Tutu twist. And it's not just about me! I'm calling on ALL Capellans (yes, even you with two left feet) to share their #tututuesday stories – your own tutu tales, memories of ballet, or simply what the word "tutu" brings to mind for you. Let's bring the town’s unique energy and vibe to the global Tutu Tuesday stage. 🩰 #CapellaTutuTuesday #TutuesdayOz #TutuTuesday
  • The Tutu Workshop - It’s gonna be fun and a little bit silly but more importantly, it’s gonna get those creative juices flowing! We’ll be diving deep into tutu history and DIY projects with upcycled materials. Think those beautiful, flowing fabric tutus but with a dash of Aussie spirit! Maybe we’ll add some native Aussie flora motifs, or a hint of the vibrant hues of our national flag… whatever gets the imagination going! The best part? It's open to anyone - whether you’re a seasoned ballet dancer or just someone who's ever dreamed of twirling. The key is to spread the joy and excitement of ballet – with a captivating twist!
  • Capella Tutu Walk – I am totally buzzing about this! It's like our very own town-wide fashion parade, but instead of sequins and glam, we’re focusing on the Tutu’s humble beginnings and evolution. We’re talking a parade of styles – classic tutus, tutus re-imagined, DIY tutu creations. Who knows, maybe there will even be a couple of tutu cosplays thrown into the mix? The possibilities are endless and it’s going to be absolute magic – an explosion of tutu colours, textures, and stories under the glorious Queensland sunshine!
  • Tutu Talks It’s not all about dance moves. Capella may be small, but we’re gonna be diving into big topics! From the art and history of ballet in Australia to the amazing women leading the ballet world today, and how ballet is continuing to evolve. Get ready to be inspired and blown away by the power of movement.
  • The " Tutu'd Be Better" Dinner at the Local Pub – Think delicious home-cooked Aussie meals and a gathering of tutu enthusiasts from all over. We’ll be exchanging stories and connecting, proving that even the smallest town in Australia can be the heart of the tutu world!
    • Let’s be real – Capella might be a bit out of the way, but this Tutu Tuesday promises to be an unforgettable journey – and a truly special tribute to the beauty and artistry of ballet. From classic to contemporary, romantic to modern, we'll celebrate every shade of tutu magic, with a healthy dose of Aussie charm, in the heart of Capella!
