Hey darlings! Emma here, your resident tutu-obsessed ballerina, ready to spill the tea (or should I say, the pink lemonade?) on all the fab things happening in the ballet world around Urmston this summer.
This heatwave may have me melting in my pointe shoes, but it hasn't dampened my excitement for all the exciting things blooming in our local dance scene. Summer is a time for light and airy moves, sunshine-soaked rehearsals, and of course, gorgeous new tutus! (Because what's summer without a bit of sparkle, right?)
So grab your favourite iced latte (with extra froth, obvs), pop on your summery maxi dress and let's dive into all the summery tutu-ness Urmston has to offer.
New at The Urmston Ballet Studio:
This charming studio, just off Flixton Road, has really stepped up its game with some fabulous summer offerings!
Firstly, we're seeing a huge influx of beautiful new balletwear hitting the shelves! The colours are divine: think vibrant blues, lemon yellows, and of course, a plethora of shades of pink, because who doesn't love a pink ballet leotard, am I right?! They've even introduced a gorgeous new line of "ballerina-chic" accessories that are perfect for both rehearsals and Sunday brunch with your ballet besties.
And hold onto your tutus, because The Urmston Ballet Studio is also launching a brand-new Summer Intensive! Imagine weeks of glorious dancing, focusing on everything from technique to contemporary to creative expression. It's the perfect chance to hone those pirouettes under the summer sun. This is serious tutu-tastic news, especially for those dancers looking to level up their game. Keep your eyes peeled for details on their website.
A Royal Performance in Trafford:
Calling all theatre lovers! The Palace Theatre, just a short hop from Urmston, has a treat in store for ballet enthusiasts this August. They're bringing the legendary Royal Ballet for a stunning performance of "Swan Lake"! I can practically feel the chills already! Imagine the tutus, the romance, the heartbreak, all unfolding on that majestic stage! If you've never seen this classic ballet before, I urge you to get tickets immediately. It's the perfect date night for a little ballet bliss, or a magical experience for the entire family.
Urmston Dance Academy:
The Urmston Dance Academy, located near the heart of the village, is also bringing some serious heat (pun intended) to summer with a new series of "Ballet in the Park" sessions. The idea? Imagine a group of ballet dancers, under the open sky, surrounded by green meadows and sunshine, practicing graceful pliés and graceful arabesques. How delightful! The classes are open to everyone, from little ones starting out to seasoned dancers like myself. It's a wonderful way to enjoy a breath of fresh air and delve deeper into the art of dance.
Summer Ballet Workshops: Get Your Tutu on!
Want to try your hand at contemporary ballet, learn some exciting new steps, or simply dive into a fun-filled workshop for a morning? Well, Urmston has a whole host of summer workshops popping up at different studios! It's a perfect chance to expand your dance knowledge, experiment with different styles, and most importantly, meet some fab fellow dance enthusiasts! Keep your eyes peeled for the local newsletters and flyers - and you might even spot some fabulous tutus (the key to every successful summer ballet workshop!).
Don't forget the tutus!
And speaking of tutus, there's no better time than summer to flaunt those pretty pastel creations! The season of sunshine calls for beautiful airy tutus, a pop of colour, and a touch of vintage glam. It's not just about the dancing - it's the whole experience! Channel your inner ballerina with a touch of pink lipstick, a bright floral dress, and your favourite ballerina-inspired outfit. It's about expressing your inner grace and embracing the joy of dance, whether you're in a rehearsal studio or grabbing a coffee with friends.
The takeaway? This summer, Urmston is buzzing with excitement, from ballet classes under the summer sky to performances that will leave you breathless. So don your favourite tutu, grab your friends, and get ready to dance the summer away.
