Tutu Tuesday in Cedar, British Columbia: A Whirlwind of Tulle and #tututuesday
Hey there, fellow dance enthusiasts! It's your girl, Claire, back with another Tutu Tuesday post. This week, we're stepping out of the studio and into the vibrant streets of Cedar, British Columbia, for a tutu-tastic exploration of this charming city.
Now, let's talk about tutus! They're like the quintessential ballet accessory, right? And boy, are there a million different styles! There's the classic **Romantic Tutu** – picture delicate, layered tulle that practically dances in the breeze. Then there's the **Bell Tutu** with its distinctive shape and flair, ideal for jumps and pirouettes. And let's not forget the **Demi-Tutu**, a bit shorter and more contemporary, giving a fun edge to any dance routine. Of course, the **Classical Tutu**, with its elaborate multiple layers, screams elegance and tradition.
Okay, enough about tutus for a minute (though trust me, I could chat about them for hours!) We're here in Cedar, a hidden gem nestled in the breathtaking British Columbia landscape. And what better place to showcase our tutu love than amongst this natural beauty?
So, grab your tutu, your favourite pair of ballet shoes, and your selfie stick because we're going on a Tutu Tuesday adventure! Here's what we're planning:
- **Cedar’s Famous Pastry Shop**: I've heard whisperings of this amazing little pastry shop downtown – they do **amazing almond croissants** and **decadent macarons**. What better place to fuel up before our tutu exploration?
- **A Walk Along the Cedar Waterfront**: Imagine this: the cool breeze on our faces, the gentle lapping of water, and, yes, us in our tutus! The Cedar Waterfront offers breathtaking views of the mountains and the Pacific, so get ready for some #tututuesday worthy snaps!
- **A Stroll through Cedar’s Downtown**: From charming boutiques to quaint cafes, Cedar's downtown district offers an explosion of colour and a touch of history. This bustling centre will make for an exceptional tutu backdrop.
- **Cedar Lake**: Nothing beats a lazy afternoon by the lake! Whether it's a leisurely picnic or some fun #tututuesday poses, the tranquil atmosphere and stunning nature make for a picture-perfect spot.
- **A Night at Cedar’s Performing Arts Center**: To end this fabulous day, we'll catch a ballet performance at Cedar's Performing Arts Centre, the heart of artistic talent in the region. From contemporary works to classical ballets, there’s a performance for everyone. Of course, our tutus are joining us for this cultural feast.
Now, why is #tututuesday all about more than just wearing a tutu? It’s about embodying a sparkle – an energy that lights up the room, an attitude that says, 'Hey, I'm fabulous!' It's about taking on any challenge with a ballerina's grace, facing life's routines with a smile.
As Canadian dancers, we carry a rich legacy of ballet, and Cedar provides a fantastic space to revel in it. From our beloved National Ballet of Canada to the smaller, independent studios across the country, Canada is a dance powerhouse. Let's share the joy of ballet and the captivating charm of #tututuesday with the world!
