Hey dance lovers! It's your girl, Chloe here, ready to take you on a tutu-tastic Tuesday adventure through the picturesque streets of Uashat, Quebec!
As you know, #tututuesday is a special day in the dance community - a day where we embrace the elegance and grace of the iconic tutu. It's a time for us to show off our passion for dance and spread some tutu-inspired joy.
This Tuesday, I decided to venture beyond the studio and into the heart of Uashat, sharing the love of ballet and embracing the spirit of #tututuesday in my favorite style, the classic romantic tutu. It’s a classic silhouette that never goes out of style - flowing tulle, delicate embellishments and a hint of whimsical sparkle.
Here's how my Tutu Tuesday journey unfolded: * **Breakfast with a view:** First stop, the cozy Café Au Coin on Rue Principale. Sipping my café au lait and devouring a delicious croissant while overlooking the St. Lawrence River - pure Canadian magic! I think I was inspired by the landscape because my dance moves were on point while I practiced in the cafe - I even threw in a grand jeté that landed flawlessly on the chair next to me - maybe the waiter was impressed, he had a very appreciative look on his face! * **Window Shopping and Street Style:** Next up, it was time to hit the charming shops of Uashat's main street. I took inspiration from the street fashion around me, particularly the gorgeous fur-trimmed coats - maybe that's why I kept finding myself reaching out and touching the silk flowers on the boutique window displays - so soft! It reminded me of a perfect port de bras movement. * **Uashat Library: Literary and Ballerina Inspiration:** Uashat's charming library offered a peaceful refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city. The librarian was impressed with my ballet attire - she had a copy of "Swan Lake" by Tchaikovsky that was on sale in the lobby - now, where can I find my Prince! I’ll have to remember to pack some comfortable shoes in my dance bag in case I find the Prince Charming of my dreams, or the perfect Prince, it’s very confusing being a princess! I was lost in the stories of renowned authors who transported me to worlds beyond imagination and found so much inspiration from their words for my own choreography! Maybe a dance scene inspired by Anne of Green Gables... * **Dance Through History at The Uashat Museum:** I decided to venture deeper into Uashat's history by exploring the museum, where I was fascinated by the exhibits showcasing the town’s cultural heritage. As I wandered the museum’s corridors, I felt my body instinctively moving - perhaps I channeled a historical ballerina! It sparked an idea for a ballet routine - maybe I could integrate some elements of Aboriginal dance and blend them with classical movements for a unique interpretation - a tribute to both past and present! I have a notebook full of ideas! * **Tutu Tuesday Dinner with Friends:** In the evening, I joined some of my friends for a lovely dinner at Bistro L'Atelier. Our conversation buzzed with shared experiences, stories, and ballet chatter. Of course, the conversation led to what style tutu we loved to wear. * **A Night of Artistic Expression:** Afterward, I headed to Galerie d’Art, a local art gallery showcasing the talents of the region's emerging and established artists. A contemporary dance piece - full of dynamic movement and contemporary dance was featured, reminding me to explore and challenge my boundaries as a dancer - not just stick to the classic movements that I'm used to. * **Uashat's Moonlight Stroll:** The perfect way to end a #tututuesday - taking a walk through the Uashat night. I felt like a true ballerina under the moonlit sky - each step feeling like a pirouette. This was just a peek into my amazing #tututuesday - I loved how it brought dance to every corner of the city - a little bit of sparkle and elegance wherever I went! **Uashat's Hidden Ballet Gems:** I want to highlight the incredible dancers and studios in Uashat. A shout-out to the "Danse-École Uashat" for their contribution to ballet in Uashat. I've seen them performing at events, and their skill is amazing! Uashat - a gem in the world of Canadian dance!Stay tuned for more #tututuesday adventures. Follow me on my dance journey!
