World Tutu Day @ Jansen Art Center
Feb 2 @ 3:00 pm
World Tutu Day @ Jansen Art Center | Lynden | Washington | United States

The Jansen Art Center and Northwest Ballet Academy invite you and your family to join us in celebrating World Tutu Day on Tuesday, February 2 (Or 2-2 Day!)

World Tutu Day started at the Australian Ballet School as an annual world-wide celebration of ballet education. This year, World Tutu Day is being celebrated in at least 7 countries, with official host schools in Milwaukee, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, Australia, the UK and Canada.

John Bishop, the director of the Northwest Ballet Academy, which offers classes in Lynden and Bellingham, brought the idea of hosting a celebration to the Jansen Art Center’s Art Council, making this the first time Washington will host a World Tutu Day celebration.

The event will run from 3-6pm at the Jansen Art Center in downtown Lynden, and includes an interactive demonstration in our weaving studio of a tutu pattern using a weaver’s loom, the opportunity to paint and decorate ballet shoes, a ballet-inspired drawing contest for kids, a Tutu Parade through the Jansen Art Center and a performance from Pas de Quatre by the Northwest Ballet Academy.

Pas de Quatre was originally choreographed by Jules Perrot in 1845 and brings four ballerinas together in one performance, each dancing a variation designed to display their best individual features.

Everyone is encouraged to wear their best or favorite tutu during World Tutu Day. There will be some tutus available for guests to borrow if they don’t have their own.

Dancers and staff from Northwest Ballet Academy will be available to answer questions about their programs. Enrollment in dance classes can happen at any time during the year and include pre-ballet classes for students as young as 3 years old and continue through advanced ballet classes. Each student is placed in a class according to their skill level.

Movie: 'T Rex' @ Pickford Film Center | Bellingham | Washington | United States

An intimate coming-of-age story about a new kind of American heroine. For the first time ever, women’s boxing is included in the 2012 Olympics. Fighting for gold from the U.S. is Claressa “T-Rex” Shields, just 17 years old, and by far the youngest competitor. From the hard knock streets of Flint, Michigan, Claressa is undefeated and utterly confident. Her fierceness extends beyond the ring. She protects her family at any cost, even when their instability and addictions threaten to derail her dream. Claressa does have one stable force in her life. Coach Jason Crutchfield has trained her since she was a scrawny 11-year-old hanging out at his gym. Jason always wanted a champion; he just never thought it’d be a girl. Her relationships with her coach and her family grow tenser as she gets closer and closer to her dream. But Claressa is fierce and determined. She desperately wants to take her family to a better, safer place and winning a gold medal could be her only chance.
