Tutu Tuesday in Vernon, British Columbia #tututuesday
Hey there, fellow tutu enthusiasts! It's your girl, Chloe, back with another #tututuesday post. Today, I'm taking you on a whimsical journey through the streets of Vernon, British Columbia, where the spirit of ballet and tutus is alive and kicking, pun intended.
Vernon, a charming little city nestled in the Okanagan Valley, is known for its stunning natural beauty. But what makes it extra special is its vibrant community of dancers. Now, I might not be based here full-time, but this city holds a special place in my heart because it was where I started my ballet journey. So, for today's #tututuesday, let's delve into the history and trends of tutus in Vernon, eh?
A Whirlwind History of Tutus in Vernon Let's rewind a bit. It wasn't that long ago that ballet in Canada, and especially in smaller cities like Vernon, was seen as a bit… well… niche. You know, the stuff that only happens in the big cities. But over time, a cultural shift has taken place. Now, ballet studios are popping up all over Vernon, catering to kids and adults of all ages. And guess what? There’s a thriving community of ballerinas just waiting to take the stage, or in this case, the local park!
Think back to the 90s - think of a ballet in Vernon - and you probably imagine a whole bunch of "classic" tutus, the kind you’d find in your textbook, with lots of frills. But you know what, I’m glad times are a-changing! These days, the tutus on the dance floor are super diverse. They come in all kinds of colours, lengths, and styles, expressing unique personality and flair.
A Peek into the Modern Tutu Trend Vernon's dance studios, just like dance studios across the nation, are all about that freedom of expression. It’s less about strict, rigid styles and more about letting those creative juices flow. It’s reflected in the amazing variety of tutus.
We’re seeing everything from those traditional, elegant tutus with multiple layers of tulle - a timeless staple, perfect for a performance, - to sleek, modern designs that really play up the dancer’s physique. The classic white, a perennial favourite, is being challenged by brighter, bold colours. You’ll see pops of cobalt blue, fire-engine red, or maybe even a sprinkle of holographic silver. These contemporary styles, like the famous “New York City Ballet Tutu” made popular by legendary choreographer Jerome Robbins, really showcase the artistry and movement of the ballet dancer, putting emphasis on line and form, and not just on traditional voluminous layers of tulle.
And it’s not just about colour and style. Fabrics are evolving too! Let's be honest, the classic tutus can sometimes be a bit… stuffy. We're seeing the emergence of tutus with materials like soft, airy silk and innovative new fabrics designed for extra flexibility and movement. That means more comfort for dancers who want to jump and twirl without feeling weighed down by heavy layers.
