The Ballet Festival:
Let’s talk ballet community! One of the most magical aspects of the dance world is the sense of camaraderie and support that runs through it. Worthing’s summer is overflowing with events to celebrate this special connection. The Ballet Festival is set to be a vibrant celebration, hosting workshops, masterclasses, and, of course, plenty of opportunities to meet fellow dancers! It's a chance to soak up inspiration, learn from others, and connect with the vibrant dance community. 💖✨
Don't forget your sunscreen:
While Worthing's summer is known for its sunny skies and beach days, it's vital to protect yourself from the strong summer rays. So, ladies, grab your favorite pink sun hat, your brightest sunnies, and slather on the SPF 50 to ensure your skin is protected from harmful UV rays. And of course, keep your ballet slippers looking brand new with a handy sun-protector for the dance bag. You wouldn't want those precious shoes getting damaged in the sunshine!
Tutu-licious Summer fashion!:
I just had to sprinkle in some of my favourite summertime tutu-fashion inspiration! 😉 Think light, breezy fabrics in pastel shades with a dash of sparkle, delicate floral prints that perfectly echo the blossoming gardens, and a hint of bohemian chic for those warm summer evenings. And let’s not forget, those gorgeous open-toe ballet slippers are a summer staple, especially those shimmering silver and gold hues that capture the dancing sunshine.
Whether you're watching a captivating performance, taking a summer workshop, or soaking up the summer vibe with fellow dancers, make sure you document it all for the #tutunews hashtag! 💖
Remember, my beautiful ballerinas, summer is the perfect time to celebrate your love for ballet! So grab your tutu, a dose of summer sunshine, and prepare to pirouette into an unforgettable season of dance.
