Hey fellow ballet bunnies! Emma here, back with a summery sprinkle of tutu news straight from the heart of Beeston! 🩰☀️ The sunshine might be sizzling, but the ballet world here is heating up too, and I've got all the hot tips for you.
First things first, I’m absolutely loving the floral trends in dancewear this season. I recently picked up a gorgeous new leotard in blush pink, with dainty lace and little forget-me-nots scattered all over. It's seriously swoon worthy. I can't resist a bit of whimsy in my dance gear, and this totally screams summery elegance. Speaking of elegance, let’s talk tutus!
There’s a brand new exhibition at the Beeston Museum called "A History of the Tutu" - a fabulous delve into the evolution of this iconic piece of dancewear. The museum has gathered some incredible antique tutus, even ones from the Victorian era! I can’t wait to check it out - maybe it'll even inspire my next DIY project… 😉
I’m not the only one feeling inspired, either! There’s a wave of new, upcoming talent taking to the Beeston stages. The Beeston Ballet Academy has a fabulous summer programme, showcasing both classical and contemporary pieces. And hold onto your hats because, brace yourselves, they’re incorporating some of this season’s floral motifs in their choreography! They're calling it “Ballet Blooms", and I’m so excited to see it!
I know the hot weather might make you feel like lying in a hammock, but don't give up on your dancing! It's the perfect time to try something new – The Beeston Ballet Club is holding a free “Summer Swing” session next week. It's a fun, social, hour-long session aimed at adults who have always wanted to try ballet but haven't yet. Perfect if you want to test the waters. It’s all about movement, fitness, and enjoying yourself!
So there you have it – Beeston is buzzing with dance excitement this summer! It's truly the best time to be a ballet enthusiast here. Whether you're looking for a new dancewear outfit, an elegant historical exhibition, or a taste of the stage, Beeston has something for everyone!
Catch you all soon, Emma
