Tutu Tuesday in Malpeque, Prince Edward Island: A Tutu for Every Occasion! #tututuesday Hey everyone, it's your girl, Lily here, back with another blog post for you. And what better day to talk about tutus than on a glorious #tututuesday! I know what you're thinking - tutus? Aren't those just for ballerinas? Well, I'm here to tell you, those adorable little pouffy skirts are so much more than just stage wear! Sure, the classic *Romantic tutu*, with its layers of soft tulle, is a staple in any ballerina's wardrobe, and they are seriously stunning in the studio or on the stage. The beautiful layered look of the *Romantic* truly showcases the art of ballet. But there are so many other styles of tutus out there, perfect for all kinds of occasions. Just look at these stunners! * **The *Bell tutu*.** This one is perfect for any girly girl who wants to twirl like a princess. Its bell-shaped design is a fun and flirty option for summer parties and outdoor weddings. * **The *Pancake tutu**. **Also known as a *tutu-de-pointe*, these tutus feature a rigid bodice with flat layers of stiff netting. It is best for very experienced dancers. Pancake tutus are often associated with contemporary ballet and they come in lots of fun colours! The colour and layering create an illusion that appears to be a *Pancake* look, thus, the name!** * **The *Contemporary tutu* -** it comes in a wide range of styles and designs, from sleek and minimal to dramatic and extravagant. The versatility allows it to be used in everything from lyrical pieces to experimental choreography. These *Tutus* are an incredible statement for a dance class or an event, particularly if you’re attending a dance workshop or showcase. The variety in design and length make these *Tutus* very much worth buying if you can. * **And then there are *the Everyday tutus*!** They are like the classic ballerina *tut* with their romantic style, but are more casual and even include variations that feature pants or skirts! Some even use leather or different kinds of fabric, like stretch fabric! If you're looking for something versatile to wear during your day, look no further! You could wear this out to brunch, to a festival or to a concert! These are great, casual *Tutus*! That's right - even *Everyday Tutus* exist for the non-professional dancers, but also those who just love the look! I'm so excited about the recent Tutu boom! Everyone from my grandmother to my younger sister has gotten into *Tutus*, and that's what I love about them, everyone can wear a Tutu! The possibilities are truly endless - what you wear it with, how you style it, and who you wear it with is up to you! I’ve seen all sorts of Tutu styles! But it's not just about fashion! The tutu represents a huge part of the world of dance. They've been inspiring artists and designers, fashionistas, musicians, dancers, even kids around the globe. I mean, even kids who are not into ballet or dance still know that a Tutu is a girly item that you see in movies or performances and always wonder about the fluffy material that the ballerinas twirl around in. The tutu is more than a piece of clothing! In Canada, ballet is a booming activity and it really shines through in our schools and studios, even in smaller towns like *Malpeque*! From Vancouver to Halifax, ballet lovers, aspiring dancers, and established choreographers have so much to be proud of when it comes to this fantastic art. It's a symbol of femininity, grace, and, most importantly, a powerful expression of self. This Tutu Tuesday is a great time to celebrate the versatility and fun of tutus, no matter your age, background or body type! They make you feel powerful, fabulous, and bold, and this is truly what fashion is all about! So get out there, and show off that inner ballerina! Be it for the dance class, your office, or for a brunch! This #tututuesday, let's celebrate tutus and all that they stand for, with joy, empowerment and love! #tututuesday
