Cheshunt: Tutu Tuesday – A Day for Dancing, Style and #Tututuesday

Tutu Tuesday! Oh, the sheer delight! It's that one day in the week when we embrace our inner ballerinas and twirl with joy. In Cheshunt, it's more than just a trend; it's a celebration of all things ballet and beautiful, a moment to bask in the glorious history of the dance. I know you're wondering, how do we, in Cheshunt, make it even more fabulous than your average Tutu Tuesday? Well, strap on those ballet shoes, dear reader, because you're about to discover the secrets to a truly fabulous Tutu Tuesday.

First, let’s get to the heart of the matter. Tutues! A whirlwind of frills, feathers, and tulle. And did I mention tulle?! Yes, we love tulle. From the delicate whisper of a classic single layer Romantic tutu to the grand drama of a layered Classical tutu, we wear it all, and with such a diverse selection of tulle textures and colors available these days, it's truly a treat to style them up and feel confident as you strut, er, I mean "gracefully step," around Cheshunt.

Our local bakery, Sweet Surrender, gets in on the fun with Tutu-inspired cakes - imagine layered sponge cakes with buttercream swirls in matching shades to the colors of our tutus. The artistry of it! Cheshunt definitely gets into the spirit of things. It's no longer a day for the faint of heart but rather a moment to embrace our bold, vibrant, and graceful sides.

Cheshunt's #Tututuesday

  • Dance Studios Galore - Tutu Tuesday is a real event in Cheshunt. We’re not just talking about waltzing around the park (although, there’s nothing wrong with a little waltzing) but there’s a huge variety of dance studios here. Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, we’ve got it all and they’re all participating in Tutu Tuesday in a grand way.
  • Dress the Part - Tutu Tuesday at The Galleria Shopping Centre - Cheshunt’s iconic Galleria, it’s not just a shopping haven, it’s a stage for fashion. Forget just wearing a tutu, make it a performance with stylish pieces and accessories. Ballet flats (even for boys!), elegant silk scarfs and scarves, that’s the style statement right there! The best thing about the Galleria? It's perfect for browsing boutiques for all the right accessories, then we hit a spot of afternoon tea - and, yes, there’s a Tutu themed option. Fancy a cake-tastic day of elegant style and tutus, right? It’s not the Met Gala but in the heart of Cheshunt, you can definitely make a fashion statement.
  • Go The Extra Mile:
    • If you’re going the whole nine yards, a good makeup look to compliment your tutus and ballerina aesthetic is essential - you know the soft blush on the cheeks, maybe a subtle pink eye shadow, a bit of gloss on the lips - it really compliments the light shimmery textures. Don't be afraid to get playful with makeup - this isn't a typical day - unleash the creative inner beauty!

Making it Personal

A lot of the fun comes with personal touches. We see boys joining in, little toddlers doing their own Tutu Tuesdays at home. It’s a reminder that we don't need to be professional dancers, or experts, to celebrate the beauty and fun of movement, and style! Cheshunt makes sure even if you haven’t ever put on pointe shoes in your life, it’s okay, there’s still a space for you to participate in a way that fits.

In Cheshunt, Tutu Tuesdays are about spreading that joyful energy. For one day, the streets of Cheshunt become a stage where we get to play. I encourage everyone in Cheshunt, young and old, to give Tutu Tuesday a try.
