Hello lovelies!
It's Emma here, writing to you from the dazzling, vibrant heart of New York City! As you all know, my passion for ballet takes me all over the world, and this week, it's brought me to the concrete jungle for a whirlwind adventure!
This city never sleeps, and neither do I when it comes to finding the perfect tutu! 🩰
I arrived on a glorious Sunday, feeling a bit like a country bumpkin from Derbyshire, but I soon settled into the rhythm of the city.
First stop: Fashion Frenzy! 🛍️
No trip to NYC would be complete without a little retail therapy, and this time, it was all about the perfect tutu for a big night at the ballet. I stumbled across a charming little boutique called "Tutu Dreams" on Broadway, and I knew I had found a gem. Imagine, rows and rows of tutus in every colour imaginable! Pink, of course, was my favourite, and I walked out with two gorgeous creations: a classic, shimmering pink tutu for a timeless elegance and a bold, fluffy pink tutu with feather trim for a more playful feel. The perfect outfits for a weekend of ballet bliss! ✨
Second stop: The Metro and a Musical Masterpiece! 🚇🎶
Nothing beats a journey on the New York subway. It's a symphony of sounds and sights! This week, the underground brought me right to the doors of the historic Broadway Theatre. I was lucky enough to snag tickets to a matinee of "Wicked." And oh my, it was pure magic! The music, the costumes, the dazzling special effects - everything was top-notch!
I have to admit, I found myself getting rather emotional at some points, particularly during Elphaba's song "Defying Gravity." What a beautiful story about the power of friendship and choosing your own path. You just know this show is going to stay with me for ages, like a little green melody inside my head! 💚
Third Stop: A Dance Dream at the City Ballet! 🩰✨
What better way to celebrate being in the city that never sleeps than with an evening at the New York City Ballet? I managed to secure tickets for their upcoming season and am still buzzing from the experience.
Seeing those dancers, so graceful and strong, with their beautiful movements flowing like liquid gold, was truly inspiring! Every single moment felt so passionate, like a living embodiment of dreams coming to life! The theatre vibrated with energy and passion - a reminder of why I adore ballet so much.
Finding my Inner Pink Tutu Princess! 💖
Honestly, there's just something magical about walking around NYC, even the most bustling and modern part of it, in a pink tutu. It’s an instant confidence boost! I've had so much fun strolling down Times Square in my pink fluff, a vision of joyful femininity in a sea of sleek suits and stylish looks.
People stopped, smiled, some even pointed their phones! The smiles and giggles I received, especially from children, were so sweet, making the experience utterly delightful! They were charmed by the tutu, and, I think, my happy infectious smile!
This experience further reinforced my belief in the power of pink tutus: they can spark joy, ignite conversations and bring a touch of magic to even the most mundane situations.
I've also met so many kind, inspiring people during this adventure. It seems that wherever you are, even in the midst of the fast-paced urban jungle, you can find kindness, friendship, and a little magic.
A Little Reminder from The Big Apple:
New York City has reminded me to be brave, be confident, be bold, and most importantly, always wear pink tutus. 😜
If you haven’t experienced this fantastic city, I highly recommend putting it on your list.
And for all of you amazing followers who make this blog such a special journey: Thank you for being with me on this adventure! Stay tuned for more exciting blog posts and inspiring ballerina moments!
*Don't forget to wear your pink tutu, wherever you are! 💖 Stay fabulous! *
Lots of Love, Emma 💕
PS: The Pink-Tutu Blog will be on a small break next week. I’m taking a short break from my whirlwind of ballet, travel and pink tutu escapades, to visit my family in Derbyshire, England! I’ll be back with more fashion fun and dazzling dance stories on Monday, September 11th. See you all then! ✨
