Tutu Tuesday in Saint-Pierre-les-Becquets, Quebec: A Celebration of Dance and Fashion! Hey everyone, and welcome back to my little corner of the internet! Today, I'm going to talk about a topic near and dear to my heart: **tutus**. As a ballet dancer, the tutu has always held a special place in my wardrobe. Not only are they beautiful and ethereal, but they also represent a key piece of ballet history and tradition. And what better day to celebrate these magnificent garments than on #TutuTuesday? Today, I decided to venture out to the beautiful town of Saint-Pierre-les-Becquets, Quebec, to capture the spirit of Tutu Tuesday in a unique and inspiring way. While the town itself doesn't exactly have a vibrant ballet scene (it's known for its rich history and stunning countryside, after all!), I was determined to make it my own personal #TutuTuesday paradise! I started my day at the lovely Maison du Tourisme, a charming local centre brimming with information and hospitality. The kind folks there welcomed me with open arms and a shared love for dance, even if they hadn't seen a tutu in years. They pointed me to some nearby spots perfect for a photoshoot, suggesting the historic church, a picturesque meadow, and even a small forest filled with wildflowers. It's truly amazing how much you can achieve with just a simple outfit like a tutu. It has a unique ability to elevate any setting. Even the quaint and historic church, with its soaring arches and stained-glass windows, looked completely different once I swirled around in my shimmering, pastel-toned tutu. The stained-glass colours played off the fabric beautifully, creating a kaleidoscope of shimmering hues. But let's be real, a good Tutu Tuesday outfit is about more than just the tutu itself. It's about putting together a whole ensemble that reflects your personal style and personality. I always like to accessorize with delicate jewelry, like pearl earrings and a simple necklace, and I opted for comfortable but chic flats with a little sparkle, because let's face it, we Canadians know our winters and gotta keep our toes warm. But back to the tutu styles! It's worth discussing different styles because even though a tutu is a tutu, they're far from all the same. For example, the classic Romantic tutu, made with layers of tulle and worn in pieces like "La Sylphide" and "Giselle," was all about airy, ethereal beauty. Then there's the tutus made for ballerinas in pieces like "Swan Lake," often characterized by their short layers and the black and white contrast, a truly iconic and unforgettable style. But for me, today, it was all about something soft and light, so I chose a multi-layered tulle tutu that reminded me of the magical costumes we often see in classical ballets. It wasn't about the typical pointed toes or dramatic leaps but a celebration of beauty in every day, you know? The day wasn't just about a beautiful outfit. It was about the joy and inspiration that come with ballet and a bit of creativity! While I twirled and posed amidst the rolling green fields and stunning church architecture, it was truly amazing to see the joy my outfit brought to local residents. They were drawn in, smiling and taking photos as I gracefully danced. It wasn't just about me being a dancer; it was about sharing the passion for ballet and fashion with the people I met. I was delighted to have an impromptu dance lesson with some of the locals. We learned some simple ballet steps and poses, laughing as we attempted the graceful turns and high kicks. It was beautiful to see the joy of movement and dance unite a small town. These small acts of creativity and connection are what make #TutuTuesday so special. It's important to remember that ballet in Canada isn't just about professional companies and prestigious schools. It's about the love for dance that resonates in every corner of the country. It's about finding joy in movement, self-expression, and even in a beautiful piece of clothing. And for me, #TutuTuesday is all about embracing the power of this artistic legacy.
