Tutu Tuesday in Saanich, British Columbia: A Celebration of Dance and Style

Hey everyone! It's your girl, [your blogger name] here, bringing you all the latest from the world of dance and fashion. And what better day to talk about tutu's than Tutu Tuesday! Today, we're celebrating this iconic piece of dancewear in all its glory. Tutu Tuesdays have taken over social media, and with good reason! They’re fun, stylish and a wonderful way to connect with other dance enthusiasts. Today, I'm taking Tutu Tuesday to the streets of Saanich, British Columbia, my home town and a hotbed for the arts. And boy, oh boy, are there some seriously stunning tutu looks here!

First things first, a little history about the tutu: It was originally designed in the 1830s, and boy, has it come a long way since then! There’s now a tutu for every occasion! And there’s a ton of variety; we’ve got everything from the classic romantic tutu, made with layers upon layers of soft tulle and typically paired with a bodice. It evokes the grace and elegance of romantic ballets like Giselle, Swan Lake, and La Sylphide.

Then there's the iconic "Tutu of the Future,” a favourite of ballet companies like the Canadian Ballet Theatre, this one is a little edgier. Think: more modern materials and shapes with sharp angles. It speaks to the innovative spirit of contemporary ballet.

Now, while I'm definitely partial to the classical style, you know I’m a sucker for a good “party tutu” for fun nights out! And if there's one place that knows how to make a tutu fun, it’s gotta be the Saanich dance community! They truly embrace creativity.

  • You want feathers, they got ‘em!
  • You want sequins, they’ve got 'em!
  • You want something that shines and shimmers in the sunlight? Well, guess what, Saanich has got ‘em all!

So if you’re feeling bold enough to throw on a tutu for a casual grocery run, you’ll definitely fit right in on these streets! What a dreamy, ballerina aesthetic we got here! I absolutely love it!

One of the amazing things about the tutu is its versatility. And this versatility allows us to push the boundaries of what we see a tutu can be, to make it more accessible for everyday wear and more exciting for everyday dance and life.

For me, the most inspiring thing about #Tututuesday is how it sparks conversations and inspires others to express themselves through dance, fashion, and art. It truly unites people around a shared passion for dance and beauty.

In the heart of Saanich, I spotted a bunch of unique interpretations of this classic piece, here are my favourites!
