I'm here in Nakusp, British Columbia, and you wouldn't believe how much tutu love there is in this adorable little town. It's definitely a place where tutus feel at home – tucked away in the beautiful Kootenay region of British Columbia, surrounded by majestic mountains, shimmering lakes, and charming old-fashioned architecture.

The community in Nakusp embraces the arts and artistic expression. It's a place where people are always looking for a reason to celebrate and that, to me, makes a tutu feel right at home.

It’s more common to find ballet schools in bustling city centres, but there’s a real love for dance here, including some wonderful opportunities to dance outdoors during the warmer months of the year. What better place to wear a tutu than in the heart of nature with fresh mountain air, gorgeous scenery, and endless possibilities for creativity. **A Tutu for Every Occasion** When it comes to tutus, there's one for everyone! And for every style: * **Romantic tutus**: For the Nakusp farmers markets where fresh local produce is always the star of the show, a romantic tulle tutu in a soft floral print or a dreamy shade of lavender would be perfect! * **Classical tutus**: Classical ballet can happen anywhere! From lakeside picnics to performances on the small outdoor stage at the Nakusp Bay Art Gallery, a classical, single-layered white or cream tutu paired with sleek ballet flats would be stunning. * **Edgy tutus**: Let’s be real, Nakusp is all about having a good time! An edgy tutu, made with multiple layers of black tulle or featuring leather accents, would rock a night out at the iconic Arrowhead Pub. * **DIY tutus**: There's so much opportunity to put your artistic skills to work when it comes to tutus! Grab some tulle scraps from a fabric store and transform them into a unique one-of-a-kind tutu. **It’s Not Just About the Tutu, It’s About the Feeling** A tutu brings joy. There's no other garment that exudes so much magic and freedom. In Nakusp, it's not about looking the part - it’s about expressing your uniqueness, embracing your creativity and having fun with your friends!
