Tutu Tuesday in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec: A Celebration of Dance and Fashion

Hey everyone! It's your girl, Chloe, back with another blog post. This week, I'm taking you all to Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, to celebrate the amazing world of tutus. I mean, it's #TutuTuesday, so it wouldn't be right not to, right?

As a ballet dancer, I've been surrounded by tutus my whole life. It's a big part of ballet history and culture in Canada, but tutus are also becoming a huge trend in everyday fashion. From classic romantic tutus to edgy, modern styles, there's a tutu out there for everyone!

The City of Saint-Hyacinthe itself is an absolute gem. There's something about the cobblestone streets, the beautiful architecture, and the charming energy that just makes it feel special. When it comes to ballet, they've got the Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal that calls Montreal home. But let’s talk about our local talent in the great province of Quebec. They got it, you know? I mean, Saint-Hyacinthe has an active dance community of their own!

Now, let's dive into the different tutu styles you can rock for #TutuTuesday. The possibilities are endless!

  • The Romantic Tutu
  • Imagine a flowing, ethereal tulle skirt with layers and layers of soft, billowy fabric. This style is what people typically imagine when they hear the word "tutu". It's perfect for creating a dreamy, whimsical look. And it makes you feel like a fairytale princess!
  • The Modern Tutu
  • Gone are the days of only classic, frilly designs. Modern tutus are bold, structured, and often incorporate contemporary elements like asymmetry, geometric shapes, and daring colour combinations. I recently got my hands on a black tutu with a sleek, A-line silhouette that looks absolutely killer. It's all about showcasing both strength and artistry. It's perfect for making a statement.
  • The Mini Tutu
  • You wanna show some leg but still channel those ballerina vibes? The mini tutu is your go-to. Think a mini skirt cut with that classic tutu look and maybe even add some funky layers or detailing. This one is so versatile! It's the ultimate look for a night out on the town, a festival, or just a casual coffee run. 😜
  • The Tutu Skirt
  • Not sure about a full-on tutu? A tutu skirt is the perfect introduction. They look pretty much like what the name suggests - a skirt with tutu vibes. These skirts usually come in A-line or fuller, ballerina-inspired shapes, giving you a stylish and subtle hint of a dance vibe without going full-out theatrical.

Whether you're a seasoned dance enthusiast or just looking for a fun way to add some flair to your look, #TutuTuesday is the perfect excuse to embrace the magic of the tutu. And hey, don't forget to share your amazing #TutuTuesday outfits! Tag me @chloedancers on Instagram. I wanna see what you're rocking! Gotta get creative out there and explore those dance-inspired fashion looks.

That's all from me today, but stay tuned for more exciting adventures in fashion and dance!

Until next time, keep it chic!
xoxo, Chloe
