**A tutu story: "From the stage to the street"** My Tutu Tuesday story started a few years ago, when I had a crazy idea to take my love for ballet into the everyday. I mean, why confine those beautiful tutus to the stage? So, I popped into Harrogate Dance to find the perfect tutu for an event – a classic, black romantic tutu, with delicate tiers and tulle so soft it was like wearing a cloud. For a bold outfit, I paired the tutu with a biker jacket, platform shoes and some chic statement jewelry. I remember feeling like I had found a magic mix of elegance and street-wear coolness. People loved the look, and that’s when it struck me – we don’t have to choose between dancing and fashion! They are all linked through a love of expressing ourselves, creativity and a touch of glamour! And the best thing? There’s a tutu style to suit everyone – from whimsical tutus for a fun look, to contemporary pieces that make a fashion statement. Embrace your inner dancer, embrace the joy, and embrace the tutu.
