2. Beyond the Barre:

• Dance Fusion: It's the perfect time to shake things up! Explore exciting ballet fusions like ballet jazz – the energy is contagious! – or contemporary ballet, with its expressive and modern movements. You might even find a disco ballet class - think glam outfits and those funky 70s grooves. How fabulous is that? 😉

Whether it’s a local park or a cultural event space, these festivals are a wonderful chance to catch live performances and workshops, connect with fellow dancers, and experience the magic of movement firsthand.

4. Fashion Forward: * **Tutu-ing Around Town: It's time to show off that fab sense of style, girlies! Rock a fun ballet skirt, pair it with your favourite tee and converse, and complete the look with a cute ballet bag. Feel that fabulous, fun, and totally on-trend energy. * Shop ‘til you drop: What's summer ballet without a gorgeous tutu?! Kirkby’s local dance shops are filled with a fantastic selection of leotards, tights, tutus, and other ballet essentials. So grab your gal pals and get ready for some seriously sparkly shopping sessions.

5. Making Memories: * Take a Photo Shoot: Summer’s all about capturing those memories. Grab your girlfriends, dress in your fabulous dance gear, and head to Kirkby’s prettiest spots for a stunning photo shoot. It’s a great way to celebrate your summer ballet adventures.

Of course, sometimes even we passionate dancers just want to relax. So why not get your groove on in the comfort of your own home? Here are a few ways to make your summer even more twirly and fabulous.

1. Netflix & Twirl: Settle into a comfy spot and stream those must-watch dance documentaries. There are loads of them on Netflix! Think “Ballerina” for that ultimate, whimsical ballet inspiration, or “First Position” for a closer look at the incredible talent and passion in the world of dance.

2. Online Classes: Staying fit and dancing never goes out of style! Get those endorphins flowing with amazing online dance classes for all styles – even hip hop or street dance if you want to mix things up! YouTube and platforms like “MoveWith” offer a fantastic range of videos to explore.

3. Creative Dance Playlists: A well-chosen playlist is essential for a fun dance experience. Create summery mixes featuring those classic ballet pieces, but also sprinkle in those upbeat tunes and maybe even some disco beats for that extra touch of fun!

Summer is also a great time to connect with fellow ballet lovers and give back to the community. Here are a few ideas to ignite that dancing passion.

1. Host a Dance Party: Get those besties together, grab some snacks, crank up the music, and get ready to let loose. Think simple routines, silly moves, and of course, a whole lotta twirling. It’s all about celebrating our shared love for dance!

2. Share Your Ballet Adventures: Whether it’s on social media or starting a blog like mine (wink, wink!), sharing your ballet adventures is a great way to inspire and connect with others. You can document your favorite moves, write reviews about workshops or performances, or simply share those adorable dance photos! Use those amazing hashtags like #tutusummer and #summerballet so you can connect with others in your community.

3. Volunteering Opportunities: Many dance schools and local charities welcome volunteer help. Help out by assisting with summer programs or fundraising initiatives. You'll make new friends and be part of something special!

Kirkby, get ready for a summer filled with twirls, leaps, and endless fun! Let's embrace the warmth of summer and turn it into a season of dancing joy, self-expression, and maybe a touch of disco magic too! 💕
