Hello my darling ballet bunnies! It's Emma here, your favourite pink tutu-wearing time traveller, and welcome to my little corner of the internet where we delve into the fascinating world of ballet history! 🩰✨
This month, we're jetting back to the vibrant world of April 4th, 1987, riding my magnificent pink sparkling shire horse, Magic Meg. Now, let me tell you, she's a real showstopper! Her golden hooves sparkle like diamonds, and her white mane and tail shimmer like spun sugar! It's always a joyous occasion when we get to go on a time travel adventure together!
Today, we're looking at ballet on a global scale. Oh, the stories this date holds! 🌍

The Dream*, a sublime ballet set to the ethereal music of Felix Mendelssohn, is captivating audiences with its delicate and ethereal beauty. Imagine the exquisite costumes and the enchanting sets - a truly breathtaking experience! 🤩
Meanwhile, just across the city at Sadler's Wells Theatre, another ballet classic takes the stage. The Royal Ballet is performing The Sleeping Beauty, a captivating production that always stirs the heart. 🌹 It's a real treat to witness these beloved ballets unfold on stage!
A Parisian Ballet Journey:Next, we gallop through the bustling streets of Paris, where the world-renowned Paris Opera Ballet is performing the magical La Bayadère. Imagine the intricate choreography and the beautiful costumes, all taking place under the glorious chandelier of the Palais Garnier. It must have been utterly magical! 🗼
From Russia With Love:Of course, no journey through time is complete without a stop in Russia. It's always such a delight to experience the world of ballet at its origins!

My Favourite Fashion Finds:While exploring the balletic history of April 4th, 1987, I just had to add some vintage ballet treasures to my rucksack! My heart skipped a beat when I saw a stunning pair of ballet slippers adorned with delicate pink sequins, perfect for any budding ballerina. 💕 I also found a charming vintage copy of the libretto for The Dream which will add a touch of history to my collection.
And how about that beautiful, soft pink tulle I found in an antique shop? I imagine the ballerina who originally wore it, pirouetting and twirling with effortless grace! It’s pieces like these that remind us that the world of ballet is as much about elegance and artistry as it is about technical skill. 🩰
