Tutu Tuesday 933

Tutu Tuesday in Scarborough #tututuesday Alright, darlings, gather round! It's time for another edition of Tutu Tuesday, and this time we're heading to the picturesque seaside town of Scarborough, Yorkshire. You know I love to travel for my blog, and this week, I couldn't resist exploring the charming streets and vibrant culture of this coastal gem. Now, Scarborough may not be known for its haute couture scene, but I discovered a few hidden gems that had me twirling in delight! My journey started with a visit to the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, a breathtaking venue perched atop a cliff overlooking the sparkling North Sea. Just imagining myself gracefully leaping across the stage in my tutu felt magical, wouldn't you say? I spent the afternoon soaking in the atmosphere, marveling at the history and artistry that infused this beautiful space. I could just imagine the legendary performers who have graced this stage – a real theatrical dream! While Scarborough might not be a ballet hub like London, I stumbled upon a hidden treasure tucked away in the heart of the town: a delightful little dance studio called The Ballerina's Dream. It’s not the grandest place, but the charm oozes from every corner. From the carefully arranged ballet shoes lining the walls to the twinkle of the chandelier, the place exudes elegance and joy. This is where I found myself transported to another world - a world of twirling and pirouettes, of expressing yourself through movement, where dreams take flight. The students were a delight – full of passion and energy. And speaking of dancewear, let's talk tutus! We wouldn't be having a true Tutu Tuesday without a deep dive into these beautiful garments, right? I fell head-over-heels for the classic, multi-layered tulle tutus offered by a delightful local store called 'Sew Much Love' in a quaint alleyway, filled with quirky independent stores. I especially loved the classic romantic style - perfect for a graceful performance on a seaside stage! They were so light and airy, just begging to be twirled! And let's not forget about the glamorous pancake tutus – a little less formal, a little more whimsical. With their frills and ruffles, they added a touch of playful sophistication to the mix. Tutu Time Fun in Scarborough After my shopping spree, I indulged in a traditional fish and chips on the bustling seaside, where I snapped a few selfies in my new tutu, a bit out of place but full of charming irony! It wasn't exactly a Grand Palais catwalk, but that's the beauty of Tutu Tuesday, isn’t it? Bringing the magic of ballet and the joy of dressing up into any setting, even if it’s a simple, bustling seaside town! I enjoyed the delicious treat, relishing the salt-laden air, and soaking up the quintessential British seaside experience. As the evening settled, I made my way to the stunning Scarborough Castle, another perfect backdrop for my Tutu Tuesday adventure. The history surrounding the imposing walls lent an air of elegance and mystique to the experience. I can’t even begin to explain the joy of swirling beneath the warm, golden evening sun while the wind danced through my hair, a magical blend of medieval history and ballet glamour. A photogenic dream for a #tututuesday Instagram moment! Exploring the Unexpected Let's face it: the average person wouldn't immediately think of Scarborough as a Tutu Tuesday hotspot. But I love those moments – when you venture off the beaten track and uncover hidden treasures, like this beautiful seaside town.
