Tutu Tuesday in Surrey, British Columbia: A Celebration of Pointe Shoes and Pink! #tututuesday
Hey everyone! It's your girl, Olivia, back with another post on all things ballet, style, and of course, #tututuesday! Today I'm bringing you a little bit of tutus and a lot of sunshine from beautiful Surrey, British Columbia. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Tutus in Surrey? What's the connection?" Well, let me tell you, there's a thriving ballet scene in this lovely city, and today, we're celebrating it all with some serious tutus!
Surrey, with its growing arts scene, is becoming a hub for ballet in Canada. There are incredible dance schools, studios, and performances happening all year round. So it's no surprise that our love for the tutu extends beyond the stage! I'm here to show you how we're embracing the tutu beyond the barre, turning it into a symbol of dance, fashion, and community.
But first, a little bit about me: I'm a professional ballerina, but more than that, I'm a huge fan of expressing my love for dance in all aspects of life. You'll often find me experimenting with my personal style, incorporating dance-inspired elements, and sharing my passion through this blog.
Speaking of style, today I'm feeling whimsical. It’s a classic, romantic, and oh-so-stylish tutu developpé (also called a tutu romantique)! With layers of tulle and an elegant silhouette, this tutu is all about movement and flow. It's like wearing a cloud! Imagine twirling on the dance floor or strutting down the street, this tutu is pure dance magic.
And speaking of magic, let's talk about this trend – #tututuesday – it's the most amazing way to celebrate the beauty of ballet and bring a bit of "pointe-toe" pizzazz to your Tuesday! And it's happening all over the world. Even here in beautiful Surrey! #tututuesday
