Hey everyone, it’s Emma here, and it's officially Tutu Season! Summer has arrived, the sun is shining, and that means one thing: Ballet! Forget Wimbledon, I'm more interested in those beautiful arabesques under the warm summer sun. Wrexham is bursting with brilliant ballet opportunities, and I’m going to spill all the pink-hued, tutu-tastic tea on what to do and learn in the area this summer.
Let's Get This Party Started! 🪩We all know that summer is the season of fun, laughter, and most importantly, disco music. And guess what? It’s not just for the nightclubs anymore! This summer, Wrexham is getting a taste of disco ballet with the Funky Feet Dance Company’s brand new "Disco Fever" workshop. Prepare to unleash your inner Donna Summer as you learn exciting and vibrant moves. This is ballet with a beat, baby, and it's seriously going to be fly! They even have themed costumes, so you can channel your inner 70s diva! Don't worry, I’m thinking neon pink tutu, sparkly leggings, and some major disco fever hair. Think ABBA meets Balanchine!

Unleash Your Inner Fairy 🧚♀️Summer means sunshine and picnics in the park, which is exactly where the Wrexham Arts Centre’s new outdoor “Fairy Dance” program comes in! Get your twirls ready, folks, because this enchanting experience takes ballet outdoors and into the magical setting of the iconic Queen's Park. This programme features workshops for kids, families, and even beginners! Think whimsical moves, beautiful floral props, and maybe even a sprinkle of fairy dust. The highlight? The Fairy Gala, a free public performance showcasing the creative choreography of both local and national dance companies. You can even come in your best fairy dress for a chance to win prizes.

The renowned Dance Centre Wrexham has announced an amazing line-up of new summer classes, perfect for honing your existing skills or exploring something completely new! They've got something for everyone, including ballet barre workouts for beginners, a challenging contemporary fusion course, and even an intriguing session dedicated to the art of pointe work.

Ballet in Bloom 🌸Now, summer wouldn't be summer without a touch of botanical magic. That's why I'm beyond excited for The Ballet Garden's Summer Solstice Special! This outdoor class combines beautiful choreography with lush garden backdrops. Imagine gliding through sun-drenched fields while gracefully exploring balletic movements – pure bliss! And it's not just about ballet; the garden comes alive with vibrant workshops like floral crown making, and nature-inspired art sessions. This is a truly unique experience where the dance floor becomes an open-air canvas, and where we can immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature and ballet!

Summer is For Everyone ✨There's something for everyone in Wrexham this summer, from those wanting to get a taste of the dancing life, to the die-hard ballet fans.
