It's your girl, Nadia, back at it again, bringing you the latest on all things ballet, style, and of course, the iconic Tutu.

Seriously? But trust me, this tiny town in British Columbia has a whole lot of heart and style. I've been exploring some of the hidden gems in our beautiful country, and this week, my ballet-loving feet landed me right here. First of all, let's talk tutus. If you're a seasoned tutu enthusiast like me, you're already familiar with the different styles. We have the romantic and airy "Romantic tutu," the billowing and dramatic "Classical tutu," the short and playful "Skater tutu," and the intricate and delicate "Layered tutu." Today in Youbou, I'm rocking a Classical tutu, perfect for a grand finale.
