Hello my darling dancers! It's Emma here, your favourite tutu-obsessed blogger, bringing you all the hot news from the world of ballet in good ol' Bloxwich! And let me tell you, the summer season is positively bursting with exciting things.
We've just finished the Ballet in the Park performance at the heart of the town. You'd have been amazed at the turnout! There was such an energy and excitement in the air, you could almost feel the music pulse through the whole place! Seeing families and friends gathered together to experience the beauty of ballet, under the summer sun, was absolutely heartwarming. And don't even get me started on the costumes - a delightful symphony of colours and textures! Honestly, a bit of a technicolour dream for a fashion-forward ballerina like myself.
Speaking of costumes, there's a little secret I need to spill about my own wardrobe… I've got my eye on a new pink tutu! Yes, you read that right, a sparkling pink tutu! This isn't just any tutu, darling. It's one of those vintage gems you stumble upon by chance. And it's coming home with me. This is going to be the pièce de résistance of my summer wardrobe! I'm already planning the perfect outfit to pair it with, and I might even sprinkle in a few floral accessories for a true summertime touch. Don't forget to follow me on social media @EmmalouLovesTutu for sneak peeks, my darlings!
Bloxwich is a hive of activity for ballet enthusiasts! Over at the Bloxwich Arts Centre, there's an amazing new beginner's ballet course launching this month. It's a perfect way for newbies to discover the joy of ballet! Now is the time to lace up those shoes, grab your tights and join in. Even if you think you have two left feet, just like my mate Charlie once did, I assure you - after a couple of weeks, you'll be turning those feet like a pro. Trust me, my love, dancing your worries away is the perfect cure for summertime blues.
It’s not just all about the newbies though, there’s plenty on offer for the seasoned dancers, too. Bloxwich's famous Royal Ballet School is celebrating its 10th anniversary with an extra special performance at the Bloxwich Town Hall featuring none other than our beloved Prima Ballerina, Sarah Thomas. Imagine! You might even get to see her in action, right there in Bloxwich, performing on the same stage as our budding little ballerinas. I can practically feel the anticipation and excitement simmering! And let’s not forget the fantastic ballet workshops organised throughout the summer by Bloxwich Dance Company! The workshops are themed around famous ballet classics like Swan Lake and Giselle. A chance to brush up on the basics and learn from seasoned dance instructors? Yes, please! I can't wait to grab my Bloxwich Dance Company brochure and get stuck in.
If all of this wasn’t enough to get you excited, there are still more delights in store for our Bloxwich ballet enthusiasts! There are numerous charity performances popping up everywhere this summer - fundraising for various important causes and creating a buzz around local communities. From the Charity Gala for the Bloxwich Children's Hospital, where a stunning performance of Coppelia will be raising much-needed funds for vital medical equipment, to the Dance for Dignity gala for the local Women's Refuge. Each and every performance has something truly special and unique to offer. And who knows, you might even catch a glimpse of Mr. Bloxwich, the town’s legendary ballerina impersonator, who is always keen to take to the stage for a good cause!
So, there you have it, darling! Your dose of #tutunews fresh from the summer sunshine of Bloxwich. Grab your ballet shoes and join us in the summer of ballet magic! See you on the dance floor!
