Hello, darling dance devotees! Emma here, your resident ballet blogger, ready to bring you the hottest, pinkest, most tutu-tastic news from the world of Welling dance!
The sun is out, the days are long, and our spirits are soaring, just like the graceful dancers at the Welling Theatre! This summer is positively brimming with exciting ballet happenings, so buckle up, because you're about to dive into a whirl of new productions, workshops, and the latest tutu trends!
Whimsical Ballet Wonderland:
It's official, folks – Welling Theatre is transforming into a summer ballet wonderland! The schedule is bursting with shows guaranteed to whisk you away on a magical dance journey.
Firstly, let's talk about "The Little Mermaid: Ballet on the Waves," a completely original ballet adaptation premiering in August. Get ready for glistening scales, shimmering coral reefs, and an enchanting tale that'll sweep you away to Ariel's underwater kingdom. If you've ever dreamed of dancing amongst mermaids, this is the show for you!
And it's not all about the big productions, my dears! The Welling Ballet Academy is holding a series of "Ballet in the Park" workshops, taking place every Saturday in July, weather permitting, of course! Picture this: a breezy afternoon, a sunny glade, and you, perfecting your pliés and pirouettes under the warm glow of the sun! Don't miss this chance to take your ballet outdoors, get some fresh air, and maybe even find a hidden talent!
The Tutu Renaissance:
But wait, there's more! Summer's the perfect time for a wardrobe refresh, and you know what's always in style? That's right, tutus! The latest trend? "Pastel Power." From powder blue to dreamy lilac and even a touch of millennial pink (my personal fave!), pastels are giving tutus a fresh, playful vibe. The best part? You can embrace this trend with your own custom tutu design! Welling Balletwear is offering a unique design-your-own tutu experience! Pick your colours, layers, and embellishments to create the tutu of your dreams.
And don't think that the tutu evolution stops there! If you're feeling bold, there's the "Boho Ballet" look. Think flowing fabrics, earthy tones, and even a touch of fringe to bring your tutu into a whole new era of chic. Personally, I'm embracing this trend by adding a couple of crocheted accents to my tutu collection - so bohemian chic!
Stay in the Dance Loop:

See you at the barre (or the beach!) Emma 💖
