Hello darlings! Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast, and it's that time again - summer ballet season! The sun's out, the skies are blue, and my ballet heart is absolutely buzzing. Westmister is the place to be for ballet lovers this summer, and I'm spilling all the secrets on how to get your groove on with some fabulous tutus and plenty of dancing.
Feeling the Disco Beat
This summer's a real disco dream for ballet. Every stage and studio in Westmister is going retro with electrifying, high-energy performances. We’re talking glitter, vibrant colours, and dance styles that’ll leave you craving more.
“Saturday Night Fever” at The Westmister Theatre is a must-see. Forget the usual pointe shoes, this production uses character shoes - they're sleek, low heeled, and oh-so-sexy!
The Ballet Revolution at The Studio is shaking things up with their innovative disco ballet. Picture it: funky, urban dance styles mixed with classical ballet moves, set to pulsating disco music. They’ve even got a dance-a-long night planned - you don’t want to miss this!
Stepping Out in Style: Summer Tutus and The Look
The only question is: what colour tutu is you going to wear? My personal fave is a vibrant pink, obviously! But Westmister's brimming with summery styles that’ll make you shine brighter than a disco ball.
Pretty Pastel: The Ballet Boutique on Baker Street is your one-stop shop for ethereal tulle creations. They're famous for their hand-dyed tutus in every pastel shade imaginable. Pink, lavender, sky blue – you name it, they've got it!
Go Bold, Go Wild: Fashion Flash has taken "streetwear chic" to a whole new level. Their bold, graffiti-style tutus will turn heads! This is where you’ll find geometric prints, holographic fabric, and tutus that practically shout "Look at me!"
Taking Centre Stage: Learn Like a Pro
Think tutus are just for watching? Think again! This summer's the perfect time to explore the ballet world. There’s something for everyone – from beginner classes to workshops focusing on specific dance styles.
Dance-Along Sundays at The Dance Academy: These beginner-friendly sessions are a brilliant way to discover ballet without any pressure. Think basic stretches, fun steps, and maybe even a little disco-inspired choreography to keep it fresh.
Master Classes with Star Performers: This is where things get serious. Local ballet schools and the Westmister Theatre are offering a series of workshops led by renowned ballet stars. This is your chance to learn from the best! There's one with a legendary choreographer who worked on Saturday Night Fever, and you can almost touch the magic of that stage!
Summer Ballet, Summer Fun: Let's Make Memories!
Westmister isn't just about grand ballets. There are all sorts of fun activities happening in parks, open spaces, and hidden nooks throughout the city.
Sunset Balconies at The Royal Opera House: Watch world-class dancers perform on their beautiful balconies - the setting sun provides a breathtaking backdrop. These events are completely free – an amazing opportunity to experience the beauty of ballet without breaking the bank!
Park Picnics with a Ballet Twist: Gather your friends, pack your basket, and head to Hyde Park for a Ballet Picnic event. The park will be alive with free dance performances, workshops for kids, and themed food stalls – it’s all about bringing ballet to the masses!
Street Style Dance-Offs: Westmister's embracing its vibrant street culture. There’ll be a dance-off in Covent Garden, and trust me, you won't want to miss the energy, the music, and the tutus in every colour of the rainbow.
