Tutu Tuesday in Candiac, Quebec: A Tutu for Every Occasion! #tututuesday It's Tutu Tuesday, and here in Candiac, Quebec, the tutus are out in full force! This week, I'm bringing you a dose of ballet inspiration as I delve into the wonderful world of tutus. You see, it's not just about the dance. It's about the feeling! Tutus have a special place in my heart, as a Canadian ballerina, and not just because of the magical feeling of twirling in one. They represent years of training, dedication, and passion. They represent stories waiting to be told through movement and art. The Allure of Tutus: More Than Just a Skirt Let's talk tutu styles because there's a whole world of them, and it's truly fascinating. From the classic, romantic "Romantic Tutu" with its layers of tulle creating a billowing, ethereal silhouette, to the more contemporary, "Modern Tutu" that embraces structured designs and unexpected cuts, the possibilities are endless. The classic, romantic Romantic Tutu reminds me of Swan Lake and Giselle. It's romantic and beautiful. The Modern Tutu allows for greater flexibility, movement, and versatility which makes it the perfect choice for contemporary ballet works, especially here in Canada where contemporary ballet is gaining popularity. Tutus go beyond just the classic ballerina style. Think of tutus in your everyday life, whether you’re dancing through the streets in a whimsical mini tutu paired with a bomber jacket for that extra edge, or channeling your inner graceful goddess with a longer tutu flowing over your favorite dress, or adding a tutu to your costume for an extra touch of fun at Halloween. You could also have a shorter tutu and make it a part of a chic ensemble for a day or night out with friends, for a girls’ night out, a birthday celebration or even an evening at the theatre!
