A Midsummer Night's Dream in the Gardens?
Forget the fairies, I'm talking about the Folkestone Ballet Company's incredible production of "Giselle."

Imagine twirling under the summer sky, with the sea air filling your lungs and the sounds of the waves adding their own unique musicality. Talk about a truly enchanting experience!

Of course, no ballet season would be complete without a bit of fashion fun! This month, the Folkestone Dance Studio is holding a "Tutu Extravaganza" where you can try on all sorts of glorious tutus - from delicate, romantic pieces to bold, statement styles. Who needs a runway show when you have a tutu to twirl in? You can even bring your favourite tutu for the "Tutu Parade" on the day! What better way to celebrate summer than with a bit of glittery, pink, whimsical fashion?
