Tutu Tuesday in Amulet, Quebec: A Dance of Fashion and Fun #tututuesday
Hey there, fellow ballet lovers and fashionistas! It's your girl, Chloe, back with another dose of all things dance and style. Today, we're heading north to Amulet, Quebec, for a truly unique Tutu Tuesday celebration. Iâm in love with exploring new ballet and dance traditions from coast to coast and thought Amulet was the perfect place to capture some Tutu Tuesday magic.
This charming town, nestled in the heart of Quebec's countryside, might not be the first place you think of when it comes to ballet, but trust me, the dance scene here is bursting with vibrant energy and a distinct Canadian flair. The locals are absolutely passionate about all things ballet, from classic tutus to more modern styles. And they're just as passionate about making Tutu Tuesday a memorable event every week!
So what exactly goes down on Tutu Tuesday in Amulet? Well, it's a bit of a community gathering with a lot of heart. Each week, people gather in the town square dressed in their best tutus, ready for some laughs and photo-ops. Itâs like a fashion show meets flash mob with the cutest and most charming people you could imagine. The vibe is pure joy, and it's infectious! Even if you don't know any dance steps, you'll feel welcome to join in on the fun.
While Amulet is certainly not New York or Toronto when it comes to high-fashion ballet, the people have a way of making each Tutu Tuesday extra special and unique. It's not about strutting down a runway, it's about sharing a common love for dance and expression in a way that's totally genuine and joyful.
One thing that sets Tutu Tuesday apart in Amulet is the embrace of diverse styles. Forget those pristine, perfectly pleated tutus you see in the classical ballets, you'll find anything goes here. Iâve seen dancers in everything from the most elaborate romantic tutus and sparkly classical variations to fun, homemade styles and quirky interpretations. One of my favorite sights so far is seeing everyone, from little ballerinas to older adults, embracing their own interpretations of Tutu Tuesday.
From a fashion standpoint, there's something incredible about seeing how different personalities and styles shine through a shared love for dance. It's like each tutu tells a story. From the romantic swaths of tulle with perfectly crafted details that transport me back to classic ballet stages to the bright, whimsical patterns that create an edgy and unique take on this timeless dance element. Even the more minimalist and practical designs that have been reimagined in fabrics and textures that speak to Amulet's local artisan heritage.
If you're in the Amulet area and want to feel part of something truly special, do yourself a favor and check out Tutu Tuesday. Grab your tutu, find your best friend or even your grandmother, and be prepared for an afternoon full of laughs, shared joy, and a chance to truly express yourself.

Fashion Tips for Your Perfect Tutu Tuesday:
- Embrace your style: The beauty of Tutu Tuesday is the individuality of it all. Wear what makes you feel happy, whether it's a classic tutu, a fun DIY design, or even something a little more unconventional. Youâre definitely going to find everything from short and sassy to full length and dramatic when you hit the Amulet streets.
- Embrace colour: Youâre in a festive setting so itâs all about brightness, playfulness and fun! Pink, purple and bright blues are big trends this season and are great for tutu Tuesday because they really POP. If you're a bit more shy, go for muted tones like blush, sage or sky blue with bold textures that add dimension.
- Accessories are your friends: Tutu Tuesday isn't just about the tutu itself. Accessorize! From headbands with feathers to floral crowns to cool, handmade accessories with beads or natural materials, everything you can think of looks fun. Think âfestival styleâ or whimsical elements you can use to complete your ensemble.
- Donât be afraid to re-imagine: Remember, Tutu Tuesday is all about being creative! Itâs more about personal expression. So you could find a great skirt or top you already own and turn it into something unique with the right touch. Or get crazy and transform an old table cloth into something amazing.
- Remember, comfort matters!: Youâll be on your feet and probably dancing, so opt for shoes that will make your look pop without ruining your mood if youâre not used to dancing for hours on end. Consider comfy footwear and avoid sky-high stilettos. If you do decide to go high-fashion, I would say stick with platform style and ballet flats.
