Tutu Tuesday in Wembley, Alberta: A Whirlwind of Tutus and Twirls
It’s officially #TutuTuesday, and what better way to celebrate than to twirl through the streets of Wembley, Alberta?
For the uninitiated, #TutuTuesday is a worldwide movement that encourages dancers (and those who simply love the elegance of a tutu) to don their favorite tutus and celebrate the beauty of ballet. Every Tuesday, it's like a burst of whimsical colour in the streets. Whether you're a seasoned ballerina, a casual ballet enthusiast, or simply want to spread a little joy, Tutu Tuesday is your chance to get your twirl on. And what better place to embrace the joy of tutus than in the heart of Canada’s ballet community, especially here in Wembley, Alberta?
I'm a ballerina and fashion blogger with a soft spot for tutus and all things twirly, so Tutu Tuesday is my absolute favourite day of the week! It's an opportunity to celebrate the elegance and artistry of ballet, while also injecting a little bit of fun and fashion into my daily routine.
As a fellow ballet aficionado, you know that tutus aren't just any old garment. They're a symbol of grace, strength, and artistry, a historical ode to the iconic costumes that grace ballet stages. Think: classical romantic tutus that echo the elegance of "Swan Lake", those whimsical, whimsical tulle "paquerettes", or the majestic layered tutus from the great ballerinas of old!
The beauty of Tutu Tuesday is that there are no rules, just fun! We've got everything from the classics, the tutus straight out of the dance studio, to modern designs, and those whimsical tutus in rainbow colors that you never thought you’d be able to pull off! They’re perfect for any occasion. Imagine wearing your Tutu while running errands, grabbing coffee, and rocking it at a hockey game.
If you're in Wembley today, look out for my tutu! It's an ivory silk Romantic tutu adorned with crystal-like details. It is a piece that oozes classic elegance. As a testament to my ballet training and a tribute to classical traditions.
Tutu Tuesday is a truly special movement, and I feel so grateful to be a part of it. I love seeing so many people around the world embrace their inner dancer and celebrate their love of ballet through the tutus.
I am always on the hunt for inspiring tutus in my travels around the world. I discovered this little gem at a ballet boutique on Stephen Avenue Mall in downtown Calgary. It’s perfect for a casual, everyday Tutu look.
So, the next time you’re out and about on a Tuesday, don’t hesitate to pull out your Tutu and show off your love for ballet and the unique charm that comes with rocking a tutu. Let's keep this joyful trend going, let’s keep the Tutu Tuesday celebration going and keep this energy alive! We are not afraid to express ourselves, to dance with joy and to inspire others!
Happy Tutu Tuesday everyone!
Tutu Trends to Look Out For:
- The Modern Ballet Tutu: Gone are the days of strict, classical silhouettes. These modern tutus often embrace bolder designs and colour, sometimes using unexpected materials. Look for asymmetrical forms, dramatic lines and, for a touch of flair, vibrant pops of color or bold print!
- The “Whimsical Tutu" These tutus are designed for a playful, less traditional take on the ballet look. You’ll see unique colors and playful prints for that unexpected, fashion-forward flair.
- The Mini-Tutu. A fun and modern alternative to the classic, full-length Tutu. The Mini-Tutu sits above the knees for a short, sophisticated yet breezy and fun look.
- Tutu Accessorizing Want a more everyday-wear Tutu look? Consider a Tutu as an accent to your outfit: A tulle-lined skirt worn with a denim jacket or a flowing layered skirt with a tulle accent! This look will take you to the next level in fashion creativity.
Tutu Tuesday in Wembley Alberta: It is my hope that Wembley, the town that inspires me, is embracing the joy of Tutu Tuesday, just like the other cities in the world. From downtown Wembley, to the countryside around the Canadian prairies, and across the world! Join the dance!
