2023 Summer Ballet News in Walthamstow

Hey there, fellow dance enthusiasts! Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood tutu-obsessed blogger, ready to spill the tea (or should I say, the chassé) on what’s hot in the Walthamstow ballet scene this summer. Forget the scorching sun and scorching dance studios - it’s all about chilling and twirling in this month's tutu-licious news. Get ready for some seriously fab developments!

First things first, a major shoutout to the Walthamstow Ballet Company! These talented dancers are back with a fresh summer production - a breathtaking, sunshine-soaked interpretation of "The Sleeping Beauty" which promises to be a fairytale come to life! Expect dreamy costumes, dazzling choreography, and a finale that will have you screaming “encore!” You can catch this enchanting show at the Walthamstow Assembly Hall on [insert date and time], so make sure to book your tickets, pronto!

And speaking of dazzling costumes, oh my god, the new “Twirl and Toast” summer class at Walthamstow Dance Academy has me obsessed! Think ballet barres, ballet slippers, and cocktails! This is the perfect way to combine your love of dancing and delicious summer tipples. And what's a tutu-loving blogger like myself to do but check out this amazing new class for myself, right?! Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing all the fun, fabulous photos and the perfect summer ballet playlist on my socials (and maybe even some tips on picking out your favourite cocktail!)

For all you budding ballerinas, the Walthamstow Ballet School is also holding a summer camp with some truly unique and amazing classes. They have contemporary ballet, ballet fitness, and even a special session on designing your own tutu! I know, I know, I’m so excited! They're not only offering up brilliant workshops but are also hosting fabulous workshops in a brand new space, just off Orford Road - rumour has it they’re making the place a pink-hued ballerina paradise, complete with a flower wall and all the mirror-selfie lighting!

For those seeking a little bit of boujee ballet action, the Walthamstow Royal Ballet Theatre is offering an exclusive “Sunset Stroll and Swan Lake” experience. Imagine: you, your besties, enjoying a Champagne picnic at the beautiful Lloyd Park followed by an unforgettable outdoor screening of "Swan Lake" - I know, my ballet-loving heart just melted. Sounds like a dream summer night!

Now, listen closely, darling - here’s a top tip to really amp up your summer ballet experience: a sparkly, shimmery manicure is a must. It's the perfect accessory for a chic ballerina, whether you’re watching a show or taking a class. Trust me, a hot pink, holographic nail will add that extra pizazz! 😉

Speaking of pizazz, The Walthamstow Ballet Association are holding a fundraising fashion show, where everyone can strut their stuff in their favourite ballet gear. I’ll be there, naturally, with my gorgeous new pink tutu that’s totally on trend. It’s not just about the ballet fashion, either, they'll have some epic raffle prizes, including a ballet weekend getaway! It’s gonna be a fashionista's dream come true!

That’s all from me, my dear dancers! I’m going to get busy practising my plies and picking out my perfect pink outfit. Remember to follow my socials for more summer ballet updates and my favourite tutu tips. Keep on twirling and have a fabulous, tutu-ful summer!
