Tutu Tuesday in Cardwell, New Brunswick: A Celebration of Dance and Fashion
Hey dance fam! It’s your girl, Chloe here, back with another installment of my Canadian ballet adventures. This week, I'm trading the stage for the streets (well, actually, the quaint, charming streets of Cardwell, New Brunswick!) And let me tell ya, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen Cardwell in full #tututuesday glory!
Every Tuesday in Cardwell, this beautiful little town embraces a special kind of fashion magic, all thanks to the brilliant mind of Miss Mabel, owner of The Dancing Daisy. She’s not just a shopkeeper; she’s a fashion icon! You know, the kind of woman who could make a pair of ripped jeans look couture. And she decided that every Tuesday would be dedicated to tutus. You heard me right, tutus!
So, every Tuesday morning, the folks of Cardwell get ready in their best twirling attire, because from the bakery to the post office, every stop you make has a chance of encountering a flash of tulle, satin, and pure, unadulterated tutu magic.
There’s a tutu for every style, personality, and occasion in Cardwell. If you're feeling classic, you can rock a traditional pancake tutu, with its airy layers of netting that practically demand you to dance a grand jeté. But if you’re looking for a more modern, street-style vibe, maybe try a fitted tutu in bold colors and funky patterns. Imagine a holographic rainbow tutu paired with your favorite graphic tee - seriously fierce!
You wanna know what I loved the most about #tututuesday? It wasn’t just about the tutus, it was about the joy and energy that Cardwell embraced. It was like everyone suddenly became part of a grand ballet performance. Little kids were prancing with their teddy bears in tiny tulle skirts, and older folks were swirling in elegant satin tutus, reminding everyone that dancing is an art form for everyone. And honestly, there’s nothing more infectious than seeing a grandma doing a graceful pirouette, especially when she's rocking a dazzling sequin tutu!
The folks of Cardwell take their #tututuesday seriously, so get ready to put on your fanciest foot forward because Cardwell doesn’t just have tutus for sale; they have tutus on their hearts, on their minds, and in every corner of this adorable town.
As a Canadian dancer who's performed everywhere from Toronto's prestigious National Ballet School to small community theatres across the country, I gotta say that Cardwell’s got the energy of a bustling metropolis, the charm of a quaint village, and the tutus of a prima ballerina! And the way they’ve woven this delightful tradition into the fabric of their community makes it even more special.
So, whether you're a diehard ballet fan like me, a fashionista who can't get enough tulle, or just someone who loves to embrace the simple pleasures of life, add Cardwell, New Brunswick, to your travel bucket list. I guarantee you'll have a ball! #tututuesday
Here are a few tutu styles that are hot right now:

But let's be real, any tutu is a good tutu if you have the confidence to wear it with a smile.
I gotta jet! Gotta pack my bags and head back to the city for my next show, but until then, stay stylish, stay graceful, and above all, stay sassy. And hey, don’t be afraid to dance! We’re all ballerinas in our own right, and that’s what makes life so fun!
