Tutu Tuesday in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan: A Celebration of Dance and Style
It's Tutu Tuesday in Saskatoon, and I'm feeling inspired! For those of you who are unfamiliar, Tutu Tuesday is a celebration of all things ballet, from the elegant and romantic to the bold and modern. As a professional ballet dancer and avid blogger, I'm always excited to see how people are expressing themselves through this iconic piece of dancewear. I also know Saskatchewan is home to many talented dancers. And, it’s fun to find my fellow tutu lovers.
There are so many ways to style a tutu these days. Classical tutus made of tulle, layered with feathers and rhinestones, are the epitome of grace and refinement. You can wear it over a basic tee and jeans for a more casual look, or pair it with a flowy top and heels for a glam night out.
For a more modern take on Tutu Tuesday, check out the innovative contemporary tutus made from a range of fabrics and designs. This year's trends lean towards more sculptural shapes, asymmetric cuts, and dramatic colours. I saw a stunning emerald green tutu with layers of chiffon and an abstract pattern that caught my eye on Instagram. You'll find many of these on Etsy and from independent designers.
While you may be thinking you can't participate, don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Whether it's rocking a fun patterned mini skirt or a twirly floral dress, there’s a way to embrace the playful and whimsical spirit of the Tutu. Grab some friends, put on a sparkly headband, and unleash your inner dancer!
No matter how you choose to celebrate, remember that Tutu Tuesday is all about celebrating the art of dance and the power of self-expression. So, let your inner ballerina shine and have some fun!
