Pink, Glitter and Dreams – A Ballet Boutique Blossoms in Highbury
As the daffodils start to peek out, Highbury is blooming with exciting news – we finally have a real ballet boutique! Now, I'm not talking about a plain, boring shop selling just leotards and tights. This, my dears, is a magical wonderland. Think twirling silks in every shade of pink imaginable, tutus adorned with sparkly gems, and ballet shoes so pretty you could wear them to the opera (don't worry, we've got the comfy everyday ones too)! Called 'The Dance Dream', this little gem on Holloway Road is practically bursting with the charm and elegance that I've always wanted in a ballet haven. Trust me, even if you're not a professional, a visit here is guaranteed to leave you feeling like a true ballerina. ✨

A "Fairy in the Garden" Tale at The Little Ballet Theatre
You know how I adore a fairytale? Well, The Little Ballet Theatre is serving up an absolutely beautiful treat with their brand-new production: "Fairy in the Garden".
