Hey everyone! Emma here, your local tutu-obsessed blogger, ready to spill the tea, er, I mean, the pointe shoes, on all things Cambridge ballet!
Summer is in full swing, and it feels like the whole city is waltzing into a whirlwind of fun! From breathtaking outdoor performances to new ballet studios popping up like magic, it's a time for ballerinas and ballet lovers to get their pirouettes on.
First on my dance card: The Cambridge Midsummer Ballet Festival! This magical event, held every June in the heart of the city's Botanical Gardens, is simply a must-see! The atmosphere is electric, filled with laughter, picnicking families, and the soft, enchanting melody of classical music. This year's programme is a mix of captivating classical works like "Swan Lake" alongside innovative contemporary pieces from local choreographers. Let's be honest, what's more idyllic than dancing under the stars while indulging in a perfectly chilled glass of Pimms? Cue the twinkle toes and the sunshine smiles!
Speaking of sunshine, let's talk tutus! This summer's hottest trend in ballet wear is a vibrant burst of colour! Think pops of coral, citrus yellow, and of course, my absolute favourite, pink! 🌸 Forget your old, demure black leotards – this summer is all about showcasing those amazing ballet legs in bright, daring designs. I spotted the cutest fuchsia-pink leotard with delicate lace detailing at [insert local dancewear shop] - perfect for those extra je ne sais quoi dance moves.
Oh, and the news just gets more exciting! We've got a new ballet school opening its doors in the heart of Cambridge! [insert new studio name] is offering classes for all ages and skill levels, even beginners! I'm dying to try out their special 'adult beginner ballet' classes - because who doesn't want to feel like a princess while getting fit, right? Think beautiful studios, a welcoming atmosphere, and maybe a little sprinkle of magic dust. It's the perfect spot to learn all about pirouettes and pliés - and maybe even a few grand jetés too!
I'm also keeping an eye out for the grand return of the "Dance with the Stars" charity event. This glitzy event, with dancers from all walks of Cambridge life, will be raising funds for [insert charity name], so prepare to be wowed! This year, I'm volunteering to help backstage and get a behind-the-scenes look at all the action. Maybe even a quick twirl on stage with the professional dancers - we can all dream, right?
From the studios to the stage, there's something for everyone this summer. Whether you're a seasoned ballet professional or simply wanting to unleash your inner dancer, the vibrant ballet scene in Cambridge has something for everyone! So dust off your pointe shoes, throw on your most vibrant leotard, and let's celebrate the beauty and joy of ballet together!
