Tutu Tuesday 25

Tutu Tuesday in Aberdeen: A City that Knows How to Dance Hello, my fellow tutu lovers! It's your girl, Clara, and this week I'm bringing you a fabulous report from the stunning city of Aberdeen, Scotland, for a special **#tututuesday** celebration. I'm not going to lie, I'm absolutely smitten with this city. From its charming cobbled streets and stunning architecture to its welcoming people and vibrant arts scene, Aberdeen has captured my heart. And what better way to explore this wonderful place than with a delightful, twirling **#tututuesday** ? I knew Aberdeen was a city that embraced the arts, but seeing it come alive with tutus was truly magical. The energy was infectious! I started my **#tututuesday** adventure with a visit to the Aberdeen Arts Centre, a treasure trove of creativity, where I saw a stunning display of tulle creations, both classical and contemporary, adorning the windows. They were simply breathtaking, each tutu telling its own story through its shape, colour, and design. There were the iconic *Romantic* tutus with their graceful layers, and the bold and modern *Character* tutus, their sharp angles and unconventional shapes creating striking visuals. As I wandered through the city, I couldn’t help but notice the tutu theme was evident everywhere, like an invisible string connecting the city's cultural heartbeat. The local cafes and boutiques, decked out in shades of pink and blush, served up "Tutu Tuesday" treats and specialty coffee, all with that ballet-inspired finesse. And let's not forget the impromptu photo shoots. From the stunning Victorian architecture of Union Terrace Gardens to the vibrant, colourful harbourside, every spot seemed to have a twirling, twirling tutu taking centre stage. But my **#tututuesday** highlight? It was without a doubt the "Tutu Parade" in the city's historic Old Town. I joined a wonderful group of locals, ranging in age and dance experience, who were united by a shared passion for ballet and all things twirly. As we paradeed through the cobbled streets, a kaleidoscope of colourful tutus transformed the scenery, turning the historic town into a fairy-tale wonderland. It was infectious! We laughed, we twirled, we made impromptu little choreographies, all with our unique "Tutu Tuesday" charm. The crowds cheering us on only made the day even more special, showing the warmth and embrace this beautiful city offers its artists and its citizens. My trip to Aberdeen is filled with memories and moments, all stitched together with the magic of ballet, the city, and the charm of **#tututuesday.** I have a feeling I'll be returning to Aberdeen soon to experience more of its art and culture, maybe even with my own tutu! Until next time, my fellow dancers, stay fabulous, and don't forget to spread your joy!
