Tutu Tuesday in Delisle, Saskatchewan: A Whirlwind of Tutu Inspiration #tututuesday Okay, so it's a Tuesday in the middle of Saskatchewan. You might be thinking, "What could possibly be happening in Delisle that's worthy of a fashion blog post?". Well, let me tell you, dear readers, you'd be wrong! Because even in the heart of the prairies, the love of a good tutu is strong and today, I'm here to spread that love! If you haven't heard, #tututuesday has been taking the world by storm, and I'm here to tell you, it's a movement that deserves to spread its wings all over Canada. Because why shouldn't we embrace the sheer elegance and playful energy of the tutu? Tutu Styles: From Classic to Contemporary My own passion for the tutu goes back to my days as a young ballerina in Regina, and oh my goodness, the tutus we used to wear. Let's just say "fluffy" and "sparkly" were not the only words we could use to describe them. I can still remember the feeling of twirling in that gorgeous pale pink, double layered tulle skirt - a feeling I haven't forgotten even now that I'm focusing on more modern contemporary choreography. But guess what? Modern choreography isn't all about the tight, fitted leggings anymore - even in contemporary dance we have so much fun with playful tutu-like creations, especially those created by Canadian designers! Tutu Tuesday in Delisle: Bringing the Fun So, I'm in Delisle this week visiting my Aunt Doris - the sweetest and most supportive lady in all of Saskatchewan! And you know what she said? "Let's do #tututuesday!". And guess what else? We took to the streets in style. And it wasn't just us either. It was the whole community. Imagine a day in Delisle with a small-town charm, friendly faces, and everyone decked out in tulle! It was absolutely magical. Kids were skipping with bright pink, polka dot, knee-length tutus while their grandmothers were looking stunning in flowing lavender and green tulle skirts. The whole town was a whirlwind of colour! More than Just a Dance Trend See? The tutu's not just for dancers anymore, folks. It's about letting loose, about expressing yourself, about being a little bit whimsical and fun! It's about bringing a little bit of ballet into everyday life and I’m here to say, Canada’s getting in on the fun. Here’s what I loved the most about our #tututuesday celebration in Delisle. The people I met! There was young Ella, rocking a sparkly lavender tutu while learning how to leap! Then there was Harry, who, at 80 years old, sported a red, sparkly tutu that he told me was “for the birds!” and you know what? It made me so happy to hear that. Harry was the epitome of #tututuesday. Tutu-inspired Style: For Every Day Now, I know that not everyone is ready to put on a full-length, classical ballet tutu. But hey, that’s totally cool! The beauty of #tututuesday is that it’s a chance to embrace the tutu in your own way! Whether it's a chic tutu skirt with a black turtleneck for a night out or a playful tutu shirt for a casual coffee date. There's so much room for interpretation! My Inspiration This #tututuesday inspired me to really delve deeper into Canadian ballet history, and you know what I discovered? A wealth of talented Canadian choreographers and dancers using tutu-like elements to create contemporary works that explore new dimensions of dance. There are artists like Koren Haack, whose contemporary dance company, the Alberta Dance Theatre, regularly incorporates tutu-like fabrics to express movement and emotion in bold new ways. And then there’s the amazing Canadian artist Christopher House, who uses tutu-inspired clothing in his breathtaking, avant-garde ballet works, which showcase the beauty of the human form in its rawest state. I'm convinced: the future of dance is here, and it’s got tulle, texture and plenty of creative expression! Delisle Tells It Like It Is I was so happy to be part of #tututuesday in Delisle, Saskatchewan. It was the perfect reminder that even in a small town in the middle of the prairie, the magic of ballet can touch everyone. It showed me that a tutu is more than just a costume: it’s a symbol of playfulness, a call for individuality and a reminder to always embrace a little whimsy. This #tututuesday, don't be afraid to put on your own kind of tutu! From Delisle to you, [Your Name] [Website or social media links]
