Tutu Tuesday in Woodlands, Manitoba: A Canadian Ballet Blogger's Perspective #tututuesday
It's Tutu Tuesday in Woodlands, Manitoba! This is what a Canadian ballet blogger’s week looks like and why it all comes down to that iconic, frilly garment.
As a Canadian ballerina and a devoted follower of fashion trends, I have to confess: I’m a bit obsessed with tutus. From the classic romantic tutus of the Romantic era with their billowing, voluminous layers to the streamlined and minimalist tutus that contemporary ballet requires – these creations embody a spirit of artistic expression that truly fascinates me. I always feel a sense of awe at the dedication and skill of the designers and artisans who bring these breathtaking masterpieces to life, not to mention the extraordinary dancers who grace the stage wearing them. It's an amazing sight to see a ballerina floating across the stage in a perfectly fitted, expertly crafted tutu.
As for #TutuTuesday, let's be honest, we all need a bit of tulle and magic in our lives every now and then. This little tradition I’ve started has become my personal mantra, reminding me that life's all about a little sparkle and elegance – even if it’s just an afternoon at the studio with the girls.
It all started last year with a casual chat in the dressing room with a fellow ballerina named Clara. “Do you ever get that feeling that sometimes, you just need to twirl around in a tutu?” I asked. “Absolutely!” she replied with a smile. “And if I had it my way, it would be every Tuesday. But hey, you know what? Let's make it a thing.” And just like that, #TutuTuesday was born! It wasn’t long before the whole dance school was participating in our little ritual, swapping stories, showing off our tutus, and capturing some amazing pics for Instagram. It’s really turned into this amazing little community we've created! There’s nothing better than a shared passion for dance, and now, #TutuTuesday is a reminder that even outside of the stage, we're all still dedicated dancers at heart.
So, how does #TutuTuesday work in my everyday life? Here's the deal. Whether I'm running errands, studying, or simply enjoying a day of self-care, there's always a touch of tutu magic sprinkled in.
* **At the Dance Studio:** A full-on, full-length tulle tutu with my ballet shoes is a must! We all go out on a whirlwind of a #TutuTuesday spin after a demanding practice session - let’s just say it’s our little celebration. * **Off the Stage:** Sometimes it’s just a little, “Tutu-esque” touch. It might be a pair of fabulous sparkly ballet flats (which happen to go with everything from jeans to dresses!). Sometimes I'll wear a sheer tutu skirt to add a hint of classic ballerina chic, maybe even paired with my favorite oversized sweater for a super cute, casual look! You don't need a full-fledged ballet ensemble to embrace #TutuTuesday – a sprinkle of magic here and there is just what you need to lift your spirits and elevate your fashion.
It’s important to note that Tutu Tuesday is much more than a trendy hashtag for us Canadians in Manitoba. It's about promoting inclusivity in dance by spreading joy and embracing every dancer’s individuality, celebrating diversity within the Canadian ballet scene! The idea behind #TutuTuesday is simple – no matter where you come from, your experience in the dance community is all about feeling beautiful and expressing your unique style. That’s the Canadian spirit! We’re a country of vibrant arts, creative expressions, and supportive communities!
