Tutu Tuesday in Headingley, Manitoba: A Dance With Style!

#tututuesday

Hey fellow dance lovers and fashionistas! It’s your girl, Clara, here, bringing you all the latest in ballet and style from the heart of Manitoba – and by the way, where are all the ballerinas out there? This Tutu Tuesday feels like we need some serious tutu inspo! It’s a big day in the ballet world here in Headingley and across Canada. The season is finally upon us and it’s time to celebrate those classic tutus!

My outfit this #tututuesday? Classic, chic, and with just a dash of playful flair. The most essential item – the tutu, obviously! We all know about the Romantic tutu, with its gauzy layers of tulle, flowing and airy, it’s the epitome of ballerina grace. For my look today, though, I opted for a more modern approach – a tutu with an exciting geometric silhouette. Just think, short and fitted, a structured tutu that says “I’m confident, bold and not afraid to dance in my own style.” Plus, let’s be honest, this tutu moves as beautifully as the classics while leaving a little more leg to show off the cute leg warmers I'm rocking today. We gotta embrace that Canadian weather, ya know! And a ballerina gotta be stylish!

Now let’s get down to the essentials: the perfect tutu for #tututuesday and for every dancer in Canada. There are endless possibilities. There are options out there for everyone, regardless of personal style!

  • The **Romantic tutu** is perfect for the dancer looking for a delicate, flowy look with a touch of dreamy sweetness.
  • Then, there’s the **Classical tutu**, that graceful, sweeping and oh so traditionally perfect for any dancer’s performance wardrobe! It's simply iconic.
  • Now, there's nothing that exudes powerful modern energy more than the **Bell tutu** . These styles often include tulle bells that go all the way around the skirt - stunning, but maybe not the easiest to do some elaborate jetés!
  • My fave: **The Modern tutu**. Think fitted silhouettes with bold, exciting designs that showcase a more contemporary approach. I’m all about those strong lines and creative movement- enhancing styles.
  • I cannot forget the **Demi-tutu!** It is essentially the tutu version of a versatile skirt, featuring a smaller version of the traditional skirt and can look amazing on its own or under a dance dress! Think of all the layers. You just can’t go wrong.

Regardless of your preferred tutu style, the key is embracing that classic ballet look, the one-of-a-kind style that always elevates our confidence. But of course, fashion is personal, so go wild! Go explore different colours and even combine elements of different styles to create a unique, personalized ensemble!

If you are a fellow dancer out there in Headingley and beyond - get out there and show off that tutu pride!

I just have to mention – I am so proud of our dancers across Canada, those working hard every single day – those dancing in the heart of Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and even here in Headingley, MB. So many incredible dancers around, making me proud! And if you are reading this, don't be shy - send me pics!
