Tutu Tuesday in Channel-Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador #tututuesday
Hey everyone! It's your favourite ballerina blogger, back with another #tututuesday post. This time, I'm bringing the magic of tutus to the beautiful, rugged shores of Channel-Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador. It might not be the first place you'd think of for a tutu-filled adventure, but trust me, it was an absolute delight.
The wind was whipping and the waves were crashing, but my tutu twirled on, a beacon of grace and elegance against the wild Atlantic backdrop. I chose a classic, romantic-style tutu for this shoot. You know, the kind that flows and swishes with every pirouette? It's all about movement, my friends, and Newfoundland really brought that out in the fabric!
Let's be real – finding a tutu store in Channel-Port aux Basques was a mission in itself. So, when I finally tracked one down, it was like finding a diamond in the rough (pun intended, of course!). It turned out to be this quaint little shop tucked away in the heart of town. The owner, a lovely lady named Bernadette, has been collecting tutus for years and knows her way around a tulle. She was so thrilled to see me bring tutu culture to the town, and she even pulled out a vintage, beaded tutu that absolutely took my breath away. It was something out of a ballet dreamscape!
Now, Channel-Port aux Basques has its own unique flavour, you know? There's this whole "fish and chips" culture (which, by the way, is incredibly delicious!) and a strong sense of community that really shines through. When I mentioned #tututuesday to a group of fishermen at the docks, they actually stopped, leaned in, and asked what it was all about. They even helped me find the best spot to get some photos! Those guys are true Canadians – always up for a good time, especially if it involves a tutu!
Later that afternoon, I took a little hike along the coast, a perfect opportunity to put my tutu to the test! As the wind blew through the fabric, it created this truly majestic feeling. I felt like I was part of the scenery, one with the elements. This whole experience solidified one thing for me – tutus are truly universal. No matter where you are, they have the power to bring a touch of magic and beauty to your life.
So, whether you're a dancer or not, I encourage you to join me in embracing #tututuesday! Take out your favourite tutu, snap some photos, and share your experiences. Who knows, you might just inspire someone else to unleash their inner ballerina, even if it's just for a day!
Here are some tutu-inspired adventures to try in Channel-Port aux Basques, Newfoundland:
