Tutu Tuesday in Montreal, Quebec: A Celebration of the Tutu!
Hey everyone, it’s your favourite ballerina blogger, and it's #tututuesday, which means it's time to celebrate the ultimate symbol of dance: the tutu! Here in Montreal, we know a thing or two about style and fashion. After all, we're in Canada, the home of some of the world's finest ballet schools, like the École supérieure de ballet du Québec and the National Ballet School of Canada. These institutions are known for churning out incredible dancers who grace the stages in the most exquisite tutus.
From the classical Romantic tutu to the dramatic, billowing, neo-classical tutu, the tutu is more than just a skirt; it’s a statement. A powerful expression of movement, art, and the human spirit! And oh, the variety! Imagine frolicking across the stage in a dreamy, gossamer Romantic tutu with its short, flouncy layers of tulle, perfect for showcasing delicate movements and pirouettes. Now picture yourself commanding the stage in a dramatic neo-classical tutu with its long, sweeping layers of tulle, designed to create dramatic movement and flow as you leap and turn.
Let's be real: #tututuesday isn't just about those famous, iconic designs! We’re celebrating the entire spectrum of tutus. Whether you’re in a vibrant, multi-coloured tutus that make you pop against a stage backdrop, a whimsical, colourful, multi-layered tutu like a princess straight out of a fairytale, or a bold, modern, sleek tutu with its simple design, minimal fabric, and dynamic cuts – embrace the magic!
My fellow dance lovers, let's use #tututuesday to appreciate this fabulous fashion statement, a true icon of dance, a piece of history! You want to unleash your inner ballerina? Go grab that tutu and hit the dance floor!
Montreal is the place to be this Tuesday – everyone from amateur ballet dancers to professionals is sure to be out there. I'll be hitting the dance floor myself, and you can be sure to see me rocking a dreamy tutu that shows off my inner graceful, expressive dancer. Now that I'm about to go explore all that the city offers, let me break down my top Tutu Tuesday destinations:
