World Tutu Day

What is World Tutu Day?

World Tutu Day is an annual worldwide celebration in support of ballet education. The special day is celebrated by dancers and dreamers around the world celebrating the world of ballet and how it has inspired the classis tutu, an iconic fashion piece for all ages. Founded by The Australian Ballet School and its director Marilyn Rowe, World Tutu Day has been very successful with a long time goal to ensure funds are raised around the world to support top ballet schools all over the world. This will ensure schools are able to offer programs to students who have talent, but not the means to succeed.
