It's the perfect chance to find a gorgeous new leotard for the upcoming dance season, treat yourself to some ballet-themed goodies, and meet some fellow dance enthusiasts!
Summer Style Tips
This summer, channel your inner ballerina with your style. Opt for flowing fabrics like chiffon, delicate floral prints, and pastel tones that evoke that classic, ethereal ballet feel. Remember to accessorise with dainty earrings, ballet flats, or a gorgeous scarf for a touch of graceful elegance. And let's not forget a chic pink lipstick for a hint of colour that complements your summertime tan. 💄💋
Bristol is buzzing with ballet this summer! It's time to embrace the enchanting world of dance and enjoy every pirouette and plié. I can't wait to see you all out and about at some of these exciting events.
Keep dancing, keep sparkling, and don't forget to share your ballet adventures with me using #tutunews.
Until next time,
Emma 💕
