Tutu Tuesday in La Dore, Quebec: A Whirlwind of Tutu Styles #tututuesday Oh, Canada, you've stolen my heart again! This time, it's the charming town of La Dore, Quebec that has me twirling in delight. I'm here for a whirlwind tour, combining my love for dance and exploring the hidden gems of this beautiful province. And what better way to start a day than with #tututuesday? As you know, Tutu Tuesday is my favourite weekly ritual – a chance to embrace the ballerina within and celebrate the sheer joy of the tutu. Now, don't get me wrong, a tutu is a pretty special piece of attire, but you'd be surprised how versatile it can be! This isn't about some stuffy old ballet class (though let's be real, those are pretty fabulous too!), it's about playing with style, redefining expectations, and showing the world that ballet can be as edgy and cool as it is elegant. A Tutu for Every Occasion My journey started with a quick stop at "Les Ballerines en Fleurs," a boutique bursting with colour and showcasing an amazing selection of tutus. It's safe to say I went a bit overboard (don't judge me – every ballerina needs her own personal arsenal!), but hey, when the options range from the classic, romantic romantic *tutu* to the sassy *moderne* designs that could rock a nightclub, how could you resist? Here's a glimpse of the styles that stole my heart today: * **Romantic Tutu:** You know, the ones with all the tulle. Layers upon layers of it, shimmering and airy, the picture of ethereal beauty. My choice for today's afternoon picnic overlooking the picturesque Lake La Dore. This style always whispers of sunny days, picnics, and laughter with friends. * **Moderne Tutu:** Think sleek lines, geometric shapes, and unexpected pops of colour. Perfect for a night out on the town! I paired mine with a leather jacket for a bit of edge, and the effect was pure magic! It proves that even a classic like a tutu can be perfectly adapted to today's street style. * **The Ballet Tutu:** You know, the quintessential dance attire, with its traditional form and romantic aura. Even though it's worn primarily for performance, there's something captivating about a dancer in their "ballet tutu." It's pure artistry and an iconic reminder of why I fell in love with dance. **#tututuesday - Beyond the Dance Studio** I love the fact that I've encountered other tutu enthusiasts all over town! This charming little community clearly understands the power of a fabulous outfit. There was a lady in the local café, wearing her romantic tutu, having brunch, the cutest barista at the corner store with her "Moderne" version paired with jeans, even the local museum curator looked stunning in her classic white tutu for her lunchtime tour. This is the beauty of #tututuesday. It's not just about dancing in a tutu; it's about bringing a touch of ballet, of creativity, and joy to every aspect of life. From afternoon picnics in La Dore to exploring a local art gallery, it's a celebration of self-expression and a reminder that we all have a ballerina within. **Canada's Ballet Scene** You know, I wouldn't be a real Canadian ballerina if I didn't take this opportunity to talk about the Canadian ballet scene! It's booming with talented artists and innovative choreographers. From the National Ballet of Canada to the stunning work of independent dance companies, it's clear we have a passion for dance. If you're looking for a bit of ballet magic in Canada, let me point you in the right direction: * **The National Ballet of Canada**: This world-renowned company presents stunning performances across Canada. * **The Ballet Jorgen Canada**: A bold and innovative company showcasing contemporary work in diverse venues. * **Dancemakers**: This Toronto-based group is known for pushing boundaries and embracing diversity in its choreographic offerings. La Dore's Enchantment But back to La Dore, because this place is stealing my heart. This small town in Quebec, just outside of Quebec City, holds an indescribable charm. From the peaceful shores of Lake La Dore to the picturesque villages dotting the landscape, this area offers the perfect escape from the everyday. My journey through this area will continue, and #tututuesday will definitely follow along! Next up on my list? Discovering the local crafts market and maybe a surprise tango lesson at the La Dore Folk Fest, all in the perfect tutu of course! So if you find yourself in La Dore, don't be surprised if you see a dancer twirling through the streets, embracing #tututuesday. Maybe it will inspire you to find your own inner ballerina and add a bit of sparkle to your day. Until then, happy twirling!
