Tutu Tuesday in Bexleyheath: A Ballet Dancer's Paradise

Oh, Bexleyheath, you may be known for your shopping centre and bustling high street, but little do you know, you've got a hidden gem amongst you – the true spirit of Tutu Tuesday! Let's just say that it's officially a big yes from me, a huge, flamboyant yes in my most glamorous pointe shoes. Let's break down the magic.

I, for one, am living proof that you can unleash your inner ballerina, no matter what your age, and that’s exactly what happens every Tuesday in Bexleyheath. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer with countless pirouettes under your belt or just starting to twirl, Tutu Tuesday is a beautiful thing, let me tell you!

It's the most beautiful thing when you see the high street adorned with swirling tutus and leotards. Everyone's feeling so inspired, and there’s just this glorious atmosphere of joy and positivity. You could almost feel the energy in the air.

Speaking of energy, just let me paint you a picture, or should I say, a dance floor. We're talking vibrant, frilly, twirling joy - that’s what you see in a typical Bexleyheath Tutu Tuesday session. It’s all thanks to the brilliant dance classes being organised by local dance studio, Bexley Dance Academy. The instructors are top-notch. From ballet basics to pointe shoes, from stretching exercises to advanced contemporary – they’ve got you covered.

Now let's talk tutus! And who could resist a tulle heaven? You can find anything from the traditional, flowing tutus that grace the stages of iconic ballet companies to short, sassy tutus, designed for sassy dancing. My personal favourite has got to be the tulle tutu with the layered frills, the more frills the better - don’t tell anyone! They make you feel so graceful and poised. You're almost like a dancing fairytale in them!

My favourite thing? Bexleyheath isn’t only for seasoned dancers, this initiative is all about making dance accessible to everyone – and I can tell you that the atmosphere is buzzing with excitement and energy.

Here’s what we can look forward to in Bexleyheath – for our next Tutu Tuesday:

  • A special showcase for aspiring dancers - A stage, literally, for Bexleyheath's most talented dancers.
  • Tutu decorating sessions - You can design your own tutu with beautiful beads and shimmering fabrics! Just imagine the possibilities.
  • Special Tutu-themed food and drinks - Just for those who deserve a little pampering after an amazing class. We’re talking tutu-inspired cocktails - with edible glitter and tutu shaped cakes. Let’s not forget a classic champagne for the celebration.

But Tutu Tuesday isn't just about having fun. It's also about building community, and getting your endorphins going – after all, a bit of physical activity is a great thing. And there’s a magical quality about ballet. It is one of the most expressive and demanding art forms and can truly connect us on an emotional level. What I love about these events is that they encourage creativity, self-expression and they celebrate all forms of art. If you haven’t danced in ages, you are definitely not alone. Bexleyheath’s Tutu Tuesday is all about that, feeling the flow and encouraging you to be your most graceful, spirited self!

For those in Bexleyheath or just looking for a Tuesday treat that makes you feel fantastic, why not come and experience this joy and energy in the beautiful, supportive atmosphere. It's more than a dance class; it's a whole experience.

You can find Bexley Dance Academy at the Bexleyheath Shopping Centre and join the dancing, the laughter, the positive energy. Oh, and the delicious cakes - no, seriously, it's like an extra layer of magic! Just try to avoid going overboard, we don't want to have tutu spills!
