Hey there, lovelies! It’s Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast and fellow dance-lover. The sun’s out, the days are long, and summer’s officially in full swing – the perfect time to swap our cozy dancewear for something a bit more, dare I say, flamboyant! Finchley's ballet scene is absolutely buzzing, so get your pinkest shades on and let's dive into what’s new this summer!
Ballet at the Fringe: A Fresh Face in Finchley
First up, exciting news! We've got a brand new ballet studio making waves – "Dance Beyond Limits" – which officially opened its doors last month! They're offering some super exciting summer programs, from beginners’ classes to advanced ballet boot camps. I'm seriously thinking of signing up myself.
What’s most amazing about this studio, though? It’s right in the heart of Finchley, and it’s dedicated to creating a really inclusive space for dancers of all levels, ages, and backgrounds. That’s definitely my kind of ballet philosophy!
A Celebration of Colour: The "Rainbow Tutu" trend
Forget your standard black leotards and plain pink tutus, darlings! This summer, the hottest trend is rainbow bright! It’s all about expressing your individual style through colour.
At Finchley’s Summer Ballet Showcase, happening in late August, I spotted some dazzling rainbow-hued tutus – think sunshine yellow, fiery orange, and even a splash of electric purple! I was seriously tempted to grab some rainbow tulle myself. Let's just say I'm absolutely embracing the trend!
Buttery Soft Ballet Bun Trends
And it's not just about the costumes! The trend of playful bun decorations has taken Finchley’s ballet classes by storm. You've got to see the super chic pastel-toned scrunchies and sparkly hair clips. My personal favorite? A whimsical little bow with pink glitter! It really ties the look together, don't you think?
And Don’t Forget, Your Tutu Needs to Be "Insta-Worthy"
This season’s not about just mastering your pirouettes, darlings! It's also about documenting your love for all things ballet for that perfect Insta-worthy shot.
This week, I caught myself snapping a few pics at the Finchley Ballet Garden Party, a delightful little affair they hold every year in June. And I think it’s safe to say the theme was #TutuLove! The outfits were amazing, the photography even better, and we definitely made memories to cherish.
The Takeaway?
Ballet's not just a dance form anymore; it's an expression of style, individuality, and sheer passion for the art! This summer's vibe? Bright, bold, and full of playful surprises. And that's something to really celebrate!
See you at the barre, Emma xx
