Hey lovelies! Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood ballet blogger, back with all the sizzling summer news from the world of Eltham ballet. It's a time for blooming flowers, buzzing bees, and... you guessed it... PINK! 💅💕 My colour obsession is truly alive this season, and let me tell you, the ballet world is embracing the pink power too!
From pointe shoes to performances, pink is definitely having a moment:
- New Arrivals at Eltham Dancewear: You'll find a veritable feast of the prettiest pink ballet shoes, leotards, and tutus in the window of Eltham Dancewear. My personal faves? The new blush-coloured pointe shoes from Bloch, paired with a delicate pink ribbon for an elegant and classy look. The shop has even got some adorable pink ballet bag for carrying all your gear in style. Let's be real, who doesn't love a chic ballet bag?
- Summer Workshops with a Twinkle: I was SO excited to find out about the new summer workshops at Eltham Dance Centre. The highlight is definitely the "Ballet and Sparkle" class, designed for aspiring ballerinas to get their twirls on. I mean, what better way to embrace the warm weather than with glitter, glamour, and graceful leaps? The class promises to take you through classic ballet steps while adding a splash of creativity and sparkly flair! And of course, who doesn't love a bit of extra sparkle in their lives? 💫
- Eltham Ballet Theatre's Summer Gala: The much-awaited annual gala performance by Eltham Ballet Theatre is going to be spectacular. The theme? "Summer Nights" - a celebration of all things summery! I'm picturing ballets inspired by dreamy moonlit beaches, shimmering sunsets, and maybe even a little bit of flamenco fire. And guess what colour you'll see a lot of in the costumes? Yup, you got it... Pink! They are keeping some of the details under wraps for now, but trust me, this is a performance you won't want to miss. Keep an eye out on their website for ticket details!
- A New Ballet School for Tiny Tutus: Looking for somewhere to introduce your little ballerinas to the world of dance? Well, good news - Eltham has got you covered! The "Tiny Tutu" programme is launching at a brand new ballet school in town, offering fun and playful classes designed especially for pre-schoolers. Get those little ones twirling with joy and prepare them for their own ballet adventures!
More Than Just Dance:
- Afternoon Tea with a Ballet Twist: Fancy a delicious afternoon tea with a side of ballet? "The Dancing Cup" in Eltham is hosting their monthly "Tea and Tutu" afternoon tea, featuring all things pink and a touch of ballet charm. The theme this month is "The Pink Flamingo" - I'm already picturing the most amazing cake pops! 💅🍓🧁
- Support Local Ballet Talent: The annual Eltham "Dance Stars" competition is back this summer, offering young local dancers a chance to showcase their talent. Head down to Eltham Town Hall to witness the amazing talent bursting forth from the next generation of ballerinas. Be sure to cheer on the stars and vote for your favourite performance!
Eltham, this summer is going to be a ballet-filled joyride! Get those tutus ready, dust off those pointe shoes, and get ready to enjoy all the amazing things the world of ballet has to offer. I'll be back next month with more hot news and insider tips, so stay tuned!
Until next time,
Emma
