Tutu Tuesday in Saint-Polycarpe, Quebec: A Dance of Fashion and Fun! #tututuesday Hey everyone! It's your favourite ballerina blogger, back with another edition of my favourite day of the week: Tutu Tuesday! Today, we're venturing out of the studio and into the beautiful city of Saint-Polycarpe, Quebec. Yes, you heard that right, I'm bringing the ballet spirit to the charming streets of this idyllic town! And honestly, could there be a better backdrop for a day of tutus than the stunning countryside of Quebec? Now, before I launch into the details of my adventures, let me tell you a little about what Tutu Tuesday means to me. • It's a day dedicated to embracing the artistry and fun of ballet, beyond the stage. • It's a day to celebrate the expressive power of a tutu, its whimsical beauty, and its ability to make anyone feel like a princess, or a ballerina, or a little bit of both. • It's a day to break free from the ordinary, to add a dash of colour and sparkle to everyday life, and to remind everyone that ballet is about so much more than just pirouettes and plies. **My Tutu Choice:** For today's Tutu Tuesday in Saint-Polycarpe, I'm wearing a classic, romantic tutu with soft, flowing layers of tulle. It's a beautiful shade of dusty rose, which compliments the autumnal colours of the trees perfectly. This tutu is perfect for twirling amidst the fall foliage and capturing the magic of this picturesque town. **Saint-Polycarpe Adventures:** I started my Tutu Tuesday adventure at the charming local bakery, "La Pâtisserie du Village." I can't resist a fresh-baked croissant with a side of cafe au lait. The scent of the bread baking was simply irresistible! Imagine, enjoying these treats, perched on a cute little bench in front of the bakery, in a flowing, romantic tutu? It's just magical. After fueling up on carbohydrates, I ventured towards the heart of Saint-Polycarpe. The town square, lined with maple trees ablaze with autumn colours, was simply breathtaking. The old stone buildings, some with colorful window boxes bursting with blooms, were an ode to bygone days. And of course, I twirled! Oh, the twirling! • This is where my tulle masterpiece really came into its own! As I twirled in front of the grand old clock tower, I imagined myself as a graceful ballerina in a classical ballet performance. It was a delightful mix of fantasy and reality. I even tried a few pliés in the town square, right by the statue of St. Polycarp himself. It felt almost sacrilegious but absolutely liberating! **Embracing the Tutu Spirit** You see, for me, Tutu Tuesday isn't just about wearing a tutu, it's about letting loose, embracing creativity, and sharing the joy of dance. It's about being present in the moment and experiencing the magic that everyday life has to offer. That brings me to the next part of my journey! As I walked through the heart of Saint-Polycarpe, I noticed that other people were starting to embrace the Tutu Tuesday spirit, whether they realised it or not! • A group of teenagers were dancing on a street corner, their energy almost infectious, and as I passed, one of the girls flashed me a brilliant smile! I know it wasn't choreographed, but it was certainly as enchanting as a graceful dance routine. • An older gentleman, enjoying a cup of coffee on his porch, watched me as I twirled, a subtle, knowing smile playing on his lips. He even took out his phone to film a video. Now, I might never be seen in one of his videos but at least, he thought it was charming enough to film! • Even the stray dog that crossed my path seemed to be dancing along with me, with its playful tail wags and joyous little barks. Saint-Polycarpe was buzzing with life that afternoon and as I looked around, I saw that even those not wearing a tutu were showing off their inner dancers, even if it was just a subtle swing of the hips as they walked by! **From Ballet Class to Ballet on the Streets:** The world of ballet may seem like an elite, formal world of dance academies and performance halls. It's a world I absolutely adore but let's be honest, we don't have to limit ourselves to the confines of a dance studio to enjoy ballet! • Every twirl, every graceful step, every joyous leap can be a ballet performance in itself. Tutu Tuesday isn't about professional perfection. It's about celebrating the beauty of movement, the joy of expression, and the whimsical charm of a tutu, in a completely uninhibited, utterly magical way. It's about making every day a dance, embracing the unexpected and, as they say, taking a bow at life. I hope you enjoyed this peek into my Tutu Tuesday adventure in Saint-Polycarpe, Quebec. Remember, you don't need a grand stage or an elaborate costume to celebrate the joy of dance. Put on your favourite outfit, find a space to move, and let your inner ballerina shine! #tututuesday
