Tutu Tuesday in Saint John, New Brunswick: A Celebration of Twirling and Tiaras #tututuesday Hey there, fellow twirlers! It's your girl, Claire, back with another #tututuesday blog post, and this time we're bringing the magic of ballet to the charming city of Saint John, New Brunswick! Let me tell you, this past Tuesday was a dream come true for any ballerina at heart. The air buzzed with excitement as we gathered at the iconic Saint John Theatre, ready to celebrate the beauty of dance in all its glory. A Parade of Tutu Styles Now, when it comes to tutus, there's a whole world of styles to choose from, and let me tell you, Saint John didn't disappoint! From the classic romantic tutu, with its billowing layers of tulle and delicate lace, to the sleek, modern tutu with its sharp lines and bold statement, the diversity of tutu styles was simply breathtaking. * **Romantic Tutu:** Think airy and ethereal, with soft layers of tulle and a hint of Victorian elegance. * **Modern Tutu:** These are all about clean lines, simple shapes, and a focus on movement. They can be short, long, or even layered for added drama. * **Classical Tutu:** A true ballerina staple, these are known for their traditional bell-shape and voluminous layers. * **Demi-Tutu:** Less voluminous than the classical tutu, but still perfectly whimsical with its knee-length skirt. More than Just a Tutu The whole atmosphere was positively electrifying. Everyone was decked out in their finest ballet attire, whether it was a traditional leotard and tutu combo, or a chic modern jumpsuit paired with a playful tutu skirt. It was amazing to see how different individuals interpreted the #tututuesday theme, showcasing their unique style and celebrating their love for dance. As a proud Canadian ballerina, I was particularly inspired to see the strong sense of community among the local ballet dancers. It's a testament to the power of ballet to connect people and inspire them to move together, no matter what their style or level of experience. A Look Back at Ballet in Saint John Saint John has a rich history in dance, with a thriving ballet scene that's produced many talented dancers over the years. We were fortunate to have some local dance schools and ballet studios showcased at the event, including: * **Saint John Ballet Company:** This professional dance company has been delighting audiences with world-class performances for decades. * **Atlantic Ballet Theatre of Canada:** Another prestigious organization with roots in Saint John, showcasing diverse and engaging dance programs. * **The Dance Factory:** A renowned studio in the city that offers ballet classes for all ages and abilities.
