Hello my darling readers, Emma here, your favourite pink-tutu-wearing time traveller, back with another monthly post! It’s been a whirlwind of a month – I've been hopping through history in my pinkest tutu and finding out all sorts about the world of ballet! And guess what? I’m already planning my next fabulous outfit! You know me, always on the hunt for the most glorious shade of pink!
Today, we're taking a trip to 10th October, 1932 – a date filled with dance, dazzling costumes, and oh, so much glamour! So hop onto Magic Meg, my dazzling pink-sparkling shire horse with those golden hooves, and let's get time-travelling!
The date is 10th October, 1932, and the world of ballet is absolutely abuzz with excitement!
Over in Paris, at the legendary Opéra Garnier, the ballet world was in raptures! This was the grand premiere of Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes production of "Les Biches". Imagine a vibrant dance production inspired by the "flapper" era of the Roaring Twenties! The costumes? A symphony of colourful and daring designs. It’s the type of ballet that gets your toes tapping and your heart soaring!
Now, you'd think a trip to Paris for such an amazing ballet production would be enough for one day, but it wasn't! After soaking up the vibrant Parisian air and all its captivating dance magic, I made my way back across the channel to London, ready for a special performance at the Sadler's Wells Theatre. It was the opening of a brand new, lavish production of the ballet Swan Lake, and believe me, it was everything you'd ever imagine – stunning costumes, incredible set designs and, of course, some seriously graceful and awe-inspiring ballet!
After the show, I took a stroll through Covent Garden, dreaming of what ballet would be like in the years to come. You know, I always say the more we embrace those bold and beautiful tutus, the better the world becomes! 🩰💖
This incredible evening in 1932 made me realise something really important – dance is about pushing boundaries and expressing ourselves! It's about daring to wear those gorgeous pink tutus with confidence! So, get out there, dance your hearts out and show the world just how magical ballet can be!
But darling, that's not all! Remember how I said this post was filled with pink, sparkles, and amazing tutus? I must share a secret with you all! During my adventures in the past, I’ve had a sneak peek at the next month's big event in the world of ballet! The iconic New York City Ballet is putting on a stunning performance of Agon by George Balanchine, and I'm already dreaming up the perfect pink tutu for this dazzling event! (Oh, you know me, always planning for the next adventure! 💖✨)
I hope you’ve loved travelling with me to this vibrant era in ballet history, my dears!
Until next time, keep on dancing!
