Aberdeen, my ballet haven!
You guys know how much I love ballet, right? It's not just a hobby, it's a way of life for me. From my first plié to my last arabesque, every step, every pose, feels like magic. And there's no magic like the magic of a perfectly fitted pair of pointe shoes.
I've been lucky enough to discover a true ballet wonderland here in Aberdeen. A place that makes my dancer's heart sing, a place filled with exquisite leotards, breathtaking tutus, and those beautiful, oh-so-important, pointe shoes!
It's called "En Pointe", and let me tell you, they've got everything a ballerina could ever need! From classic, romantic tutu styles, perfect for Giselle or Swan Lake, to more contemporary and edgy designs that would look amazing in a piece by William Forsythe. There are tutus in a kaleidoscope of colors, some with layers of tulle that would make you gasp and others that are sleek and streamlined, perfect for showing off powerful lines.
Now, onto those pointe shoes, the most important item in any ballerina's arsenal! Walking into En Pointe is like entering a pointe shoe paradise. They've got every brand imaginable, from the classic Russian pointe shoes that feel like dancing on clouds, to those super sturdy French options, perfect for power leaps and those impossibly fast fouetté turns. And the staff, let me tell you, they're not just shop assistants, they're shoe whisperers! They know exactly how to find the perfect fit and how to take care of your delicate feet.
"But what about the leotards?" I hear you ask. Well, darling, let's just say that "En Pointe" has a leotard collection to make your head spin. From elegant black classics to vibrant shades like sunshine yellow or electric blue, they've got it all. And for the ultimate luxurious feel, some of their leotards are even made with luxurious silks or velvet. I'm talking a leotard fit for a queen, or at least a ballerina.
"En Pointe" is more than just a shop, it's a community. A space where ballet enthusiasts can gather and share their passion. I've even met some amazing ballet friends here. Whether you're a seasoned pro like me or just starting your journey, you'll find a warm welcome at "En Pointe".

Their experienced teachers will guide you every step of the way, whether you're learning to gracefully balance on your pointe shoes, mastering pirouettes, or exploring the intricate world of choreography.

Honestly, I can't recommend "En Pointe" enough. It's my absolute go-to in Aberdeen for all things ballet. From pointe shoes and leotards to tutus and ballet classes, they've got everything a budding ballerina needs to dance their heart out.
