Tutu Tuesday in Notre-Dame-des-Prairies, Quebec: A Celebration of Ballet and Style
It's Tutu Tuesday, folks! And while I'm normally twirling in the studio, today, I'm taking my passion for ballet to the streets of Notre-Dame-des-Prairies, Quebec, in all its glory. For those of you who haven't experienced the magic of Tutu Tuesday, it's a celebration of the tutu, the iconic symbol of ballet. Every Tuesday, dancers and ballet lovers around the globe wear their favourite tutus, showcasing the diversity and elegance of this beloved garment.
As a Canadian ballerina, I'm constantly inspired by the vibrant ballet scene in our country. From the world-renowned National Ballet of Canada to the many regional ballet companies across the nation, the art of ballet thrives in every corner of our beautiful country. And with Tutu Tuesday, we bring the magic of the dance studio out into the world.
So, what kind of tutu would befit a #Tutuesday in the beautiful city of Notre-Dame-des-Prairies, you might ask? Let's dive into the world of tulle, embellishments, and, of course, style!
Today, I'm sporting a romantic, airy, pastel-hued tulle tutu. The delicate layers and fluffy construction just scream spring, and I paired it with a simple, classic white tank top to let the tutu take centre stage. For a touch of Notre-Dame-des-Prairies' local flair, I chose my go-to Canadian-designed leather satchel. I'm feeling bold and expressive, just like a dancer on stage!
My friend Sarah is joining me in our Tutu Tuesday shenanigans! Sarah is known for her love of whimsical and modern pieces.

She balanced out the dramatic design with a casual grey t-shirt and her favourite pair of stylish trainers. The contrast of playful tutu with laid-back streetwear was pure sartorial genius, showing the versatility of the tutu for any occasion!

The tutu is a timeless fashion statement, adaptable and elegant, and suitable for anybody who dances through life. The day calls on every ballerina, ballet fan, and fashion enthusiast to experiment with style while showing support for the art form we adore!
