Tutu Tuesday in Beresford, New Brunswick: A Celebration of Dance and Style #tututuesday
Hey everyone, it's your girl, Claire, back with another post about all things ballet and fashion. Today's theme is extra special, it's Tutu Tuesday! And not just any Tuesday, it's a **Tutu Tuesday in Beresford, New Brunswick!** Let me tell you, this town might be small, but the passion for dance is huge.
Beresford might not be a bustling metropolis like Toronto or Montreal, but the dance scene here is vibrant and alive! We've got everything from tiny tots just learning their first pirouettes to experienced dancers with years of training under their belts. And what brings all these beautiful dancers together? You guessed it, the magical tutu!
You guys already know I love a good tutu. There's just something so whimsical and elegant about them. It's like they transform us from everyday people into graceful ballerinas. For Tutu Tuesday in Beresford, I wanted to highlight the diversity and artistry of these little works of dance fashion.
We saw everything from the classic romantic tutus, with their layers of soft tulle, to the more contemporary tutus, with their bold colours and interesting shapes. And, of course, no Tutu Tuesday would be complete without some sparkle! We saw tutus with glittering embellishments, dazzling sequins, and even some feathers - Talk about adding some flair to the dance floor!
I want to call out a few favourites:
- A gorgeous emerald green tutu, worn by a young dancer during a performance of "The Sleeping Beauty". It was stunning! Emerald green is just the perfect color - sophisticated but whimsical - and it complimented the young dancer’s natural grace so beautifully. It looked like she had been created in the color.
- A vibrant scarlet tutu worn by a ballerina during the “Nutcracker” ballet was an absolute knockout. Scarlet has a sense of power and vitality to it and when it spins on stage it was almost hypnotic. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. The crimson fabric caught the stage lights beautifully.
- A short, airy, almost weightless tutu - maybe a lyrical ballet? - danced so softly and freely. This dancer looked like a flitting fairy as she glided across the stage. You could feel her story in each delicate movement.
One of the best parts of Tutu Tuesday in Beresford was the energy and enthusiasm of the dancers themselves. These guys truly love what they do. And it showed. You could feel the passion in their performances and in the way they shared their love for the art form.
It made me feel so happy to be part of this community of dancers and dance enthusiasts, and reminded me why I fell in love with ballet in the first place. Dancing, fashion and celebrating - it’s an absolutely inspiring combination and a true embodiment of #tututuesday!
A big shoutout to the Beresford Dance Academy. You're all rock stars! Keep inspiring, keep dancing, and keep spreading the magic of ballet. Until next time, happy dancing!
