#BalletHistory during 2043 08

Hello my lovelies! It's your favourite pink-tutu-clad time-traveller Emma, back with another dazzling adventure through the world of ballet history! This month, we're whisking ourselves back to the glittering August of 2043 - a truly captivating time in the world of dance, don't you think?

This month's blog is extra special as I get to share with you the magnificent news - my new collection, 'Timeless Tutus' is launching this week! Inspired by the most beautiful ballerinas and ballet eras from all over the world, it features some truly exquisite creations. The colour palette, naturally, is inspired by the magic of pink - from blush pinks to vibrant magenta! It's my most daring and elaborate collection yet, and it promises to take you back to some of the most exciting moments in dance history.

So buckle up, my darlings, and grab your trusty ballet shoes! Magic Meg is all saddled up and ready to carry us back through time. She looks particularly fabulous in her pink ribbon headwear, adorned with shimmering, sparkly, gold-tinted diamante.

Stepping off Magic Meg in the bustling heart of August 2043, I’m immediately captivated by the sheer energy and vibrancy of the time! This month in the world of ballet is bursting with performances and shows. The grand opening of the Royal Ballet School in Shanghai has just been announced, with several amazing international performances slated for the upcoming season.

Across the Atlantic, New York's City Ballet is preparing for its summer festival with an unforgettable program featuring both classic and contemporary ballets. Imagine! My favourite, 'The Four Temperaments', by Balanchine, was just featured in a performance in July, and I hear whispers that ‘Agon' and 'Serenade' are also gracing the stage.

Over in the vibrant, artistic hub of London, I was fortunate enough to catch the legendary English National Ballet perform their awe-inspiring new piece 'The Dreamers'. Choreographed by the visionary Thomas Edur, this innovative piece tells the story of an artistic duo struggling to reach their full potential. And let's not forget the Royal Opera House's ongoing performance of 'Swan Lake'.

What makes August 2043 so thrilling for me is the global connection that ballet was forming. Ballerinas from all walks of life are exchanging ideas, pushing boundaries, and collaborating to create truly groundbreaking performances. I just love this global feeling. It's truly a beautiful testament to the uniting power of ballet and its ability to inspire joy and appreciation for artistry across cultures.

Of course, no trip back in time would be complete without a good dose of ballet fashion, right? I love that every ballet era has its own distinctive flair. You can see it in the designs of the costumes, the types of pointe shoes, and the intricate hairstyles.

Here in 2043, the ballet world was captivated by the neoclassical style that is beautifully balanced between tradition and innovation. Think elegant, minimalist costumes, paired with stunningly delicate, ethereal makeup, like a perfect symphony of simplicity and beauty. There was a trend towards organic-looking designs, echoing nature in its flow and grace, creating beautiful movement within the balletic movements themselves. And that stunning, sleek hair... perfectly tousled ballerina buns that echoed the graceful beauty of this period, while retaining a simple, almost elegant, beauty that truly captured the feel of this magical period in time.

As I stroll through the streets of the historic theatre districts, I’m particularly enamored by the exquisite silk pointe shoes that I find myself reaching for. My hands are drawn to the delicate satin ribbon and the dainty little embellishments on each shoe. In the vibrant and creative year 2043, shoe design is starting to take on the innovative and inventive forms of the future, and I adore this. Some say that dancers had already become comfortable in some of the first prototype “flexible pointe shoes”, but for my part, I think it is still too early to leave those classic, exquisite silk shoes behind.

Of course, no journey back in time is complete without my trusty leather rucksack. I’m a hoarder, my darlings, and there’s nothing I love more than collecting memories and mementos from each era. In August 2043, it was brimming with delightful finds.

I snagged an adorable, pink tutu from a vintage shop in London's Theatreland, which would make an adorable addition to my "Timeless Tutus" collection. And while strolling through the vibrant Parisian dance halls, I found myself in a stunning art deco store, where I snagged a hand-drawn design for a pointe shoe (of the silk variety!) with elegant floral embellishments. I can’t wait to replicate these intricate floral designs on a pink version of these incredible pointe shoes for my own personal collection.

Most importantly though, my rucksack also held a journal where I sketched a variety of stunning designs of some of the iconic ballet pieces that are performed in this period. This is just a little glimpse into my creative world, my darlings, a world where my passion for ballet truly comes alive!

As we bid farewell to this captivating August of 2043 and climb aboard Magic Meg, I’m left with a heart brimming with wonder and appreciation. This time period in history underscores the incredible artistry, elegance, and grace that dance has always possessed. Ballet, in 2043, is not just an art form; it's a powerful language that speaks to the soul, evoking emotions and weaving dreams into the tapestry of life.

So here’s my mission to you my lovelies, wear your tutu with pride! Let's carry the spirit of those breathtaking performances and their beautiful stories with us every single day, a testament to the power and beauty of this art form. Remember, pink is just as classic as black and the tutu will never go out of fashion, especially not if we keep reminding the world about the magic it contains.

Until next time, keep your dancing shoes ready and stay fabulous!
