And of course, no ballet review is complete without a dash of *pink*, dear readers. Speaking of dazzling costumes, a word about the *leotard*. Let's be honest, nothing quite compares to a perfect, pink tutu for an unforgettable visual. However, you don’t want to leave the leotard behind! Find a leotard to match your tutu! Perhaps a blush-pink one, with just a touch of delicate embroidery or maybe a sparkly detail that catches the light like morning dew? Now, wouldn’t that be the perfect pairing? It adds such a captivating air to every performance. The right leotard enhances the body, highlighting the graceful lines of a dancer, bringing that little extra sparkle to their performance. After all, wouldn’t you want to shine on the stage like a jewel in the crown of ballet?
Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, in sunny California, the **San Francisco Ballet** is ready to sweep you off your feet with an exciting new program! You'll have the chance to lose yourself in the magic of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", where ballet takes a delightful twist with a captivating choreography. The intricate patterns, inspired by the tale of a girl venturing into a whimsical world of talking animals, quirky characters, and captivating scenarios, truly comes alive with dynamic performances and an extraordinary soundtrack!

The **English National Ballet** are preparing to delight us all! They’re showcasing a captivating performance of "Giselle" in London. This timeless classic captivates audiences with its poignant story, exploring themes of betrayal and love against the backdrop of a medieval German forest.

The delicate dancing of the corps de ballet, along with Giselle’s masterful characterisation - is both heart-wrenching and absolutely mesmerizing. It's the perfect example of how dance can tell a profound story without a single word being spoken. They are also launching a bold and imaginative programme. "Frankenstein," darling, is an example of truly stunning work by Liam Scarlett, combining thrilling storytelling with breathtaking movement. A ballet for our times, that explores humanity's dark side and the question of what it means to be truly human.
