Tutu Tuesday in Saint-Georges-de-Clarenceville, Quebec: A Celebration of Dance and Fashion
Hey everyone! It's your girl, Marie-Claire, back with another blog post! As a Canadian ballerina with a serious passion for fashion, I'm always on the lookout for ways to incorporate my love for both into my everyday life. And what better way to do that than by embracing #TutuTuesday?
This week, I decided to take my tutu love to the streets of Saint-Georges-de-Clarenceville, a charming town nestled in the heart of Quebec. Now, you might be thinking, "Tutus in Saint-Georges-de-Clarenceville? What's the deal?" But trust me, this town has a certain je ne sais quoi that just screams tutu-ready. And you know me, I can't resist a good opportunity to turn heads and spread some joy!
Before we dive into the fashion fun, let's talk about ballet in Canada. Did you know that Canada has a thriving ballet scene? From world-renowned companies like the National Ballet of Canada and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens in Montreal to smaller, regional ensembles across the country, ballet is alive and well in the Great White North. And I'm proud to be part of it!
Now back to my #TutuTuesday adventure. My mission was simple: rock a killer tutu, take some fun pictures, and spread some sartorial cheer. For this occasion, I opted for a romantic, classic tutu.
- A wispy tulle, reminiscent of a delicate cloud. This type of tutu has a softer, more romantic silhouette and is great for a more casual look, perfect for exploring a charming town like Saint-Georges-de-Clarenceville.
- A stunning soft blush pink that played beautifully against the backdrop of Saint-Georges-de-Clarenceville's colorful buildings. Pink, a timeless feminine color, gave the tutu a classic and graceful feel that felt at home among the historical architecture.
As I waltzed through the streets of Saint-Georges-de-Clarenceville, people's smiles were brighter, their eyes sparkled with delight, and I received numerous compliments. Not everyone embraced my #TutuTuesday shenanigans - a couple of tourists even asked me if I was headed to the ballet - but hey, that's just part of the fun! It's about expressing yourself, challenging norms, and showing the world that fashion knows no boundaries, not even in the heartland of Quebec.
What did I learn from my #TutuTuesday in Saint-Georges-de-Clarenceville? That even the most unexpected places can embrace a little bit of whimsy and that fashion, just like ballet, can transcend boundaries and spark joy. I'm already brainstorming my next #TutuTuesday adventure - maybe in the city, maybe on a country road, maybe even on a ski slope. You'll have to follow me on Instagram for that!
In the meantime, I encourage you to unleash your inner ballerina. Rock your own unique style and embrace your individuality. You never know who you might inspire!
Au revoir, for now! And don't forget to keep spreading the tutu love!
