Tutu Tuesday in Guelph/Eramosa, Ontario, Canada #tututuesday Oh, my fellow twirling enthusiasts, the day has arrived! It's Tutu Tuesday, and the spirit of ballet is definitely alive and well here in Guelph/Eramosa, Ontario, Canada. You see, tutu's are not just for the stage; they are an attitude, a feeling, a way of life. The first time I put on a tutu, I felt like I could fly. The layers of tulle and the perfect fit made me feel so elegant and graceful. Since then, it's become my fashion statement. For years, the dance community has made Tutu Tuesdays their own, turning it into a lighthearted expression of their love for all things ballet. But hey, why should we dancers be the only ones enjoying this fun tradition? The whole world needs a little more tutu, especially in these days when everyone could use a reason to smile. This Tuesday, I’m gonna embrace my inner ballerina by going all out with my tutu. For inspiration, I scrolled through countless online dancewear retailers, ogling those glorious tutus. And let me tell ya, the choices are endless! It's amazing how designers get so creative. We're talking a whole spectrum: from the classic romantic tutus, to the contemporary sleek and minimal tutus. • The romantic tutus, oh my, they just scream fairytale! The layers of tulle, the soft, flowing fabric... it's all about delicate beauty and creating that magical illusion of lightness. • For a bolder look, the modern tutus are where it's at. Those fitted designs with the streamlined silhouette just radiate power and confidence. • Speaking of contemporary designs, let's not forget those cool, abstract tutu interpretations. There are amazing designers out there crafting incredible contemporary tutus with funky lines and bold cuts. Tutus can truly be whatever you make them - from elegant and ethereal to edgy and contemporary. So embrace your inner ballerina and let loose! Get ready to wear your tutu with pride! Now, let's get real for a moment: tutus have got a bad rep for being, well, 'ballet-y'. You know, for being that classic, rigid symbol of a strict dance world. But let's be honest, ballet in Canada, for example, is full of awesome, passionate dancers who just love the art. Think of all the amazing talent showcased in studios and on stage throughout Canada! For this Tuesday, we’re saying NO to those rigid ballet norms. Today, let's embrace tutus with playful spirit and ditch those 'ballet only' restrictions. If you want to pair a tutu with a ripped jean jacket and sneakers, do it! Because, when it comes to tutus, there's no such thing as being ‘too much.’ I’m picturing myself strolling down Guelph Street with my friends all in tutus, it's a scene right out of my ballet-inspired daydream. We’re gonna head to our fave cafe for some coffee and laughs. There will be a sprinkle of dance moves thrown in - the ballerina strut is a must!
