Tutu Tuesday in Tisdale, Saskatchewan: A Celebration of Ballet and Fashion! #tututuesday Okay, folks, Tutu Tuesday is upon us again, and you know what that means – a chance to unleash our inner ballerina, or at least our love for all things tutu. Today, we’re taking our twirls to the charming town of Tisdale, Saskatchewan. As a Canadian ballet dancer who’s lived across the country, I’ve learned that ballet, and especially the love for the tutu, transcends borders. From the graceful pirouettes in the heart of Toronto to the dedicated steps taken in small towns like Tisdale, the love for ballet and its elegant garments unites us all. So let’s talk about tutus! Today’s celebration of tutus is a call to action, to find the tutu that speaks to you! It’s not just about wearing them; it’s about feeling confident, powerful, and embracing the graceful, fluid art of ballet – a art that transcends gender, race and background. Here’s a little fun fact to kick off the day: did you know the first tutu wasn’t created as a ballet garment but as a revolutionary change to the overly cumbersome costumes of the day? Marie Taglioni, a famous ballet dancer in the 19th century, wanted to create a more comfortable, lighter, and freer garment to allow her body to move with grace and expression – the very essence of ballet! Types of Tutus – A Blast From the Past & Modern Twists! * **Romantic Tutu:** If you want classic, soft and flowy, the romantic tutu is your go-to. It embodies a graceful, whimsical spirit, with multiple layers of tulle creating a beautifully ethereal silhouette. Imagine floating through the air like a whimsical dream – that's the Romantic tutu. * **Classical Tutu:** Remember those iconic ballerina outfits in your imagination? That's most likely the Classical Tutu – a hallmark of the "Swan Lake" ballet, with its short, flared, and frilled style that's both timeless and iconic. * **Platter Tutu:** This one is as dramatic as it gets – think massive layers of tulle, making a huge and dramatic silhouette for a show stopping appearance. Platter tutus scream power and presence. * **The Contemporary Tutu:** Let's face it, tutus have evolved! Today’s tutus reflect contemporary ballet with variations in colour, shape and even incorporate modern fabrics to tell unique stories through movement. These tutus challenge the classic, yet are still elegant.
