Tutu Tuesday in Maniwaki, Quebec: A Canadian Ballet Blogger's Take #tututuesday Okay, tutu-lovers, get ready to twirl! It’s #tututuesday in the charming town of Maniwaki, Quebec, and this Canadian ballet blogger is here to share the love for this iconic garment. I have always felt that a tutu is more than just a dancewear staple; it is a symbol of grace, strength, and pure artistry, which is why, of course, every Tuesday, I try to incorporate it into my look! I’ve always loved ballet, especially as it’s become so popular in Canada, so finding ways to wear my love for it has become something that makes me truly happy.
I recently visited Maniwaki to get a feel for the dance community, and you guys, the energy was infectious! It felt like I was part of the ballet world again. Maniwaki boasts some seriously talented dancers and instructors. The spirit of artistry and expression that resonated in the community really inspired me to wear a tutu this Tuesday. And the city's rich natural backdrop and historical significance made it the perfect place to try out some seriously cool tutu styles. Let’s talk styles, right?! There’s the romantic, wispy tulle style I love to pair with boots. A vintage romantic tutu. You can't get much more classically "ballerina" than a long white tulle tutu and for a daytime look, I often pair this with a stylish coat.
Let’s go down a more modern path: the shorter, flirty tulle tutu. Think less ballerina, more bold statement piece. It’s perfect for nights out and pairing with leggings or even leather pants for a cool-girl vibe. That, paired with an amazing top, and maybe a great blazer – there’s really nothing a short tutu can’t work with. My favourite is a sparkly, multi-coloured tutu. This playful option instantly brings the party, and it is totally suitable for dressing down too. A denim jacket and your go-to flats for a casual look are all you need.
Okay, and who can forget the iconic, powerful pointe tutu? Think precision, grace, and power in a package – exactly the essence of pointe ballet! It’s the epitome of elegance and definitely deserves to be appreciated as an art piece in its own right. You'd be surprised what you can do with it fashionably. Even a structured, pointed tutu can work in a daytime look paired with the right top.
Whether you’re a seasoned dance enthusiast, or simply a tutu enthusiast, (because we all are, yes?), Tutu Tuesday in Maniwaki was a reminder that this classic garment isn’t limited to the dance floor. It’s a fashion statement that deserves a spot in your wardrobe. The way we all view beauty is changing, and this has definitely led to the world embracing and understanding dance better than ever, so when I talk about wearing tutus as a form of expression, that's something everyone is comfortable with! Let’s celebrate our unique style, embrace the beauty of movement, and remember that tutus are meant to be worn – proudly and creatively!
Here’s to celebrating #tututuesday – Canadian style!
