Tutu Tuesday in Spruce Grove, Alberta: A Celebration of the Classic & the Contemporary Hey everyone, it's your girl, Olivia here, bringing you the latest in the world of ballet fashion – and today, we're talking **Tutu Tuesday**! Yes, Spruce Grove, Alberta is rocking the tutu life, and let me tell ya, it's more exciting than a pirouette on pointe! **So what exactly is Tutu Tuesday?** Well, it's a fun little movement we started a few weeks ago here in Spruce Grove to celebrate the elegance and beauty of tutus – but with a twist. Think classic tutus, like those we all imagine in our minds with their soft layers and tulle billowing around. Then think, a modern twist, with colourful patterns, exciting shapes, and fabrics that break the mould. I know what you're thinking: tutus? Really? In 2023? Absolutely! The tutu has always been, and will always be, a symbol of dance, artistry, and freedom of expression. And, with so many incredible styles evolving, there's a tutu out there for everyone! **A City that Embraces Ballet** Look, we all know that ballet has a strong tradition here in Canada. But here in Spruce Grove, there's a palpable love for the art form. Whether it's our community dance studios like the *Spruce Grove Dance Academy*, or *The Dance Centre*, which boast amazing classes and programs, ballet thrives here. There's an atmosphere that welcomes creativity and that makes wearing a tutu in public less "oh my gosh" and more "how delightful!". From Classic to Contemporary And, speaking of tutus, they're a thing of wonder. Here's the deal: when I think "classic" I picture a graceful, long, and soft tutu, the kind with a single layer that sweeps the stage. Think a *romantic* look with all that flowy tulle – a perfect way to create those dramatic swirls you see in performances! But on the flip side, we've got our "contemporary" tutus – these are my faves! They often have more volume and intricate design. I've seen some truly fabulous tutus here in Spruce Grove, they might have structured skirts, panels with mixed colours or fabrics, and maybe even a touch of glitter, who am I kidding – more glitter! It's the tutu for the dancer who wants to show off their unique personality. **The Power of a Tutu** The best part about Tutu Tuesday is that it's not just about the garment. It's about a community, a spirit. It's about celebrating the simple joys of dancing, playing dress up and having fun. Seeing kids in tutus at the mall, with smiles on their faces, or spotting someone brave enough to strut in a tutu down the street? Well, it's inspiring! Tutu Tuesday isn't just a day – it's a reminder that everyone has an inner ballerina waiting to shine. So if you're in Spruce Grove, or just happen to see a tutu, give a thumbs up, or share a smile. You never know – it might just be your cue to channel your inner ballerina! #tututuesday **What are your thoughts on Tutu Tuesday? How would you rock the trend?
