Hey gorgeous dancers! It’s your girl, Emma, back with another blast from the past! 🩰
I've got a feeling that 2023 is going to be such a fun year in the world of ballet! Already, the shows, the outfits, the performances - everything is bubbling over with so much exciting energy.
It's almost like a dream, wouldn't you say? But honestly, you guys know I love this life! 💖
Tutus and Fashion:
First things first - how incredible are the tutus this year? 🤯 The designs are just phenomenal! The craftsmanship and detail put into every single stitch are a real testament to the love and dedication in the ballet world.
We're seeing a resurgence of the classic Romantic tutu, which, you guys, just floats on the stage - perfect for those big, flowing pirouettes. But also, the contemporary ballet tutu has stepped up its game - think edgy, dramatic silhouettes that scream power and passion! And you know me, I can't resist a dash of glitter and sparkle! ✨
I mean, have you seen the amazing Swarovski-studded outfits? My jaw hit the floor! It's the epitome of glamour and extravagance! 😍
Shows, Shows, Shows!
Of course, no ballet year would be complete without amazing shows! 🤩
This year, I'm so excited about all the repertory productions I've seen already. There's the timeless classic Swan Lake, but with a fresh take - it just had to be! Then we've got Romeo and Juliet, but this time, imagine it as a vibrant, modern-day street performance, incredible, right? And don't even get me started on The Nutcracker! I can't help but feel that this show is truly capturing the hearts and imaginations of young and old alike.
But what's a ballerina to do after watching those incredible performances? Why, shop of course! This season’s fashion trends are influenced by the gorgeous costumes! A sprinkle of fairy dust and a touch of elegance are exactly what we need. 👗
My Top Picks
This season, I've been obsessed with finding ballet-inspired clothing that doesn't feel too fussy, so I've been pairing it up with my trusty leather jacket and sneakers - so stylish! But if I'm feeling fancy, then nothing beats a beautiful vintage inspired blouse and flowy skirt - perfect for a night out! And the key? Always add a pop of pink! 💗
Speaking of my amazing collection of pink tutus, they've come in handy again! Last month, I headed to the gorgeous cobbled streets of Nottingham, for an exciting street ballet performance. As I pirouetted on those old streets, dressed in my pinkest tulle, the audience absolutely loved it! 🤩 I must admit, I think I’m winning the “pink tutu” campaign one performance at a time.
