Tutu Tuesday 30978

Tutu Tuesday in Sainte-Victoire-de-Sorel, Quebec: A Tutu for Every Occasion #tututuesday It's Tuesday, and you know what that means – Tutu Tuesday! As a ballet dancer and fashion blogger in Canada, I've got a soft spot for tutus. Not just the traditional, fluffy, classic ones (although, let's be real, they'll always have a place in my heart!), but for every kind of tutu out there – and believe me, there are tons. This week, I'm all about celebrating the diversity of tutus – from the playful and whimsical to the sleek and sophisticated. Let's Break It Down: Tutu Styles * **The Classic Romantic Tutu** - A classic, this is the go-to for those ethereal, flowing ballets like Swan Lake. It’s got tiers upon tiers of soft tulle, typically worn with a fitted bodice that accentuates the ballerina’s waist. * **The Romantic Tutu with the Bodice** – It has that classic tulle look but often the bodice comes with a unique design like a pointed bustier or a scooped neckline. * **The Romantic Tutu with Straps** – A little more casual but a very elegant classic tutu with spaghetti straps. It’s one that I could wear day or night, especially since its so easy to layer. * **The Contemporary Tutu** - This style is modern, innovative, and pushes the boundaries. Forget traditional tiers – contemporary tutus might feature asymmetric shapes, edgy fabrics, or even interesting cutouts. * **The Ballet Tutu** – The Ballet Tutu, I think it’s one of my faves! It’s short, bouncy and playful! * **The Soft Tulle Tutu** - My dream! It has those lightweight tiers of delicate tulle and this one typically features a simple bodice. It’s just absolutely dreamy. * **The Multi-Layered Tutu** – As a ballerina, I wear these with tights that show the layers to enhance the beauty of these tutus, because it gives a real magical and whimsical feel. * **The Short Tutu** - This type is more commonly used in a contemporary setting. If it were used in a romantic ballet, it wouldn't be as big and wouldn’t necessarily have multiple layers of fabric. The length also creates a different style which gives an entirely new and unique appearance compared to the classical romantic tutu. Celebrating Tutus: Beyond the Ballet Studio You've probably seen it: The #tututuesday movement, where folks all over the world are taking a moment to celebrate their love for this iconic garment, showing it off in unique, playful, and often downright inspiring ways. But why? I think it's about embracing a touch of magic and wonder, finding the joy in something whimsical, and maybe just a bit ridiculous. **How #tututuesday Plays Out** You’ll see this trend all over social media: dancers are posting selfies with their favourite tutu styles. I’m especially inspired by people going beyond the stage, rocking their tutus everywhere. * You might see a Tutu Tuesday group on Facebook – People use it as a space to connect with other tutu lovers and to share pictures, tips, or their favourite stories about the magical world of tutus. * The #tututuesday hashtag helps connect everyone and keeps the fun rolling. * People from all over the world will share their #tututuesday experiences with photos, quotes and tips for styling tutus – like me! * From Canada's bustling streets to serene locales like Sainte-Victoire-de-Sorel, Quebec, where I find so much ballet inspiration. **More than just Ballet in Canada** I believe ballet has a unique place in Canada. There's something special about how our cultural scene embraces its classical roots while celebrating a spirit of exploration and creativity. I see this in the vibrant ballet companies across the country, the exciting up-and-coming choreographers, and the many passionate dancers who make the art form their own. Canada is also where the history of tutu-style fashion goes back centuries with many talented designers. And they’ve got some unique Tutu styles! **This Tutu Tuesday, My Style** Right now, my heart is set on the Short Tutu. It feels fun, fresh and has that energy about it! My wardrobe staples this week: my Short Tutu in a pastel color with a unique design bodice that hugs the waist with cute bows and matching straps, some beautiful and sleek ballet shoes in a neutral tone that add a hint of chicness. Join Me In This #tututuesday Dance** I’ve gotten inspired this #tututuesday – I hope it’s been inspiring to you as well. So what are you waiting for? Break out your tutu and let the world see your #tututuesday spirit. #tututuesday #balletincanada #quebecballet #tutus #style
