Hey fellow ballet-lovers! Emma here, your favourite pink-obsessed tutu enthusiast, bringing you the hottest summer ballet news from our lovely little corner of the world, Barrow in Furness!
The summer sun might be shining but that doesn’t mean our passion for ballet is taking a break, not by a long shot! In fact, Barrow's ballet scene is bubbling over with excitement this season, and you'll want to keep those pointe shoes at the ready, darling!
From Pointe Shoes to Paradise:
Firstly, let’s talk tutus, shall we? I am beyond excited about the new collection at Dance World, everyone’s favourite local dancewear store. They’ve just launched their "Summer Blooms" collection, inspired by all the beautiful pink flowers popping up in the gardens of Barrow. Think flowing chiffons in soft peach, delicate lace details, and oh-so-elegant tulle ruffles – absolutely perfect for adding a touch of summer glamour to your ballet wardrobe. If you're feeling brave, they’ve even got some stunning, vibrant floral prints to make a statement on stage!
Barrow's Big Ballet Bash:
But the real highlight of the summer has to be the Barrow Ballet Festival. This year's theme is "Under the Tuscan Sun," with a delightful mix of traditional Italian ballet classics and exciting new choreographies. There's even a special performance of “Swan Lake” on the very last night, featuring stunning sets and a new, modern twist on the iconic story.
The festival kicks off with a dazzling "Summer Serenade" evening where talented local dancers showcase their skills. Keep an eye out for a surprise guest appearance by a renowned ballerina – I hear she’s bringing some seriously amazing tutus with her! And trust me, I will be in the front row for every single show, armed with my camera and a killer new floral hairband from Dance World, of course!
