Tutu Tuesday in Watrous, Saskatchewan: A Canadian Ballet Ballerina's Love Affair with the Tutu Watrous, Saskatchewan! Home of the iconic Saskatchewan Jazz Festival and… the unexpected hub of Tutu Tuesday? Okay, maybe not *quite* as iconic, but I’m here to make it a thing! As a Canadian ballet dancer with a heart overflowing with love for this classic piece of dancewear, I’m embracing my inner Tutu Queen on this Tuesday, celebrating the elegance, grace, and sheer beauty of this garment. #tututuesday Forget the ordinary Tuesday blues, because today’s all about the twirls and the frothy layers of tulle.
The History and The Glamour I don't know about you, but for me, tutus are way more than just a piece of clothing – they represent history, they represent artistry, and they absolutely represent pure and joyful movement. Since its inception in the mid-1800s, the tutu has undergone a stylish transformation. * **Romantic tutu:** First emerged in the 1800s. These tutus, longer and with a romantic, flowing shape, often featured layers upon layers of tulle and a soft, billowing silhouette. Think "Swan Lake" and the ballerinas effortlessly gliding across the stage. * **Classical tutu:** These took over in the 20th century. More structured, with a shorter, tighter shape, the classical tutu embodies precision and movement control. This is where you find that "iconic" shape we see on the likes of "The Nutcracker's" Sugar Plum Fairy. * **Contemporary tutu:** It’s the 21st century and we've moved beyond the conventional. Modern tutus often play with shape, size, and materials, allowing dancers more flexibility and freedom.
