#PinkTutuBlogNYC Monday 2008-09-08 she danced in New York City

Hello darlings! It’s Monday, and you know what that means? It’s time for a fresh new post from yours truly, Emma, your very own Pink Tutu Ballerina! I'm still buzzing from last week's whirlwind of a trip to New York City. And I must say, this little Pink Tutu certainly had a grand time amongst the towering skyscrapers and the bustling streets. Oh, how I love this city!

I must tell you, the energy here is electrifying, it just buzzes. It's got that 'anything is possible' vibe that makes you feel like you can dance all night long!

You see, my dearest readers, I managed to sneak in a quick getaway last week to the Big Apple thanks to a fantastic opportunity – I was asked to perform at the magnificent Lincoln Center! It's such a privilege to share my love of dance with audiences far and wide. But of course, this meant a transatlantic journey. Now, don't picture me in some stuffy business suit - no way, Jose! I wore my very favourite pale pink tulle tutu, paired with a comfy cream cardigan for those cool air-conditioned airport terminals. Let's face it, a Pink Tutu girl's gotta travel in style, right?

The journey itself was a lovely adventure, though I have to admit, a tiny bit chaotic! First, there was the excitement of reaching the airport (after a very cheeky croissant from the local bakery in my lovely Derbyshire village), then the whirlwind of navigating Heathrow Airport – with all its hustle and bustle, you'd think everyone was performing in a ballet! Then it was off to the States, with the flight taking me right across the big blue. Thankfully, my pink ballet shoes were safely tucked in my trusty travel bag!

When I arrived, New York just swallowed me up – the skyscrapers reaching towards the clouds, the iconic yellow taxis, the endless buzz of people, the sheer volume of things to see and do – oh, the magic of New York! My charming little pink-hued tutu made me feel right at home amidst the colourful chaos. I couldn’t help but think that my fellow New Yorkers would embrace the pink tutu, too! Just picture it – a city where everyone wears a tutu! We’d be twirling down Broadway, across Times Square, even in the subways! A symphony of pink twirling across the concrete jungle – it’s a vision, isn’t it?

Of course, my visit wouldn’t be complete without some exploration! So, I popped on my favourite pink flats and set off on a quest to see the sights. Oh, the grandeur of Central Park, with its wide green spaces – a delightful break from the urban bustle! It’s truly beautiful, a secret oasis of peace in the heart of the city.

But nothing could have prepared me for the magic of seeing the iconic Statue of Liberty. I have to admit, it did give me chills to see it standing tall and proud, so symbolic of freedom and hope. Truly, it was a magical sight. And I think you know what? A sprinkle of pink would’ve made that moment even more wonderful, don’t you think? A pink tutu wouldn’t look out of place there, dancing amongst those elegant drapes and sculptures!

But my explorations didn’t end there. I went wandering down those delightful cobbled side streets, taking in the stunning architecture. And, of course, shopping is a must in a city like this! Now, where’s that sparkly, feather-boa embellished pink tutu I’ve had my eye on?!

My heart was skipping a beat as I entered the Lincoln Center! It’s the most iconic building for lovers of the arts in the whole city! It felt as if a million different stories were whispering through those walls, of dreams realised and creative passions burning bright. Just picture this: me, Pink Tutu Ballerina, dancing on a stage in such an inspiring location!

Of course, the dance itself was magnificent! The dancers, oh, they were phenomenal, each pirouette a work of art! And the audience – oh, how they cheered and applauded. It truly was an evening to remember, a celebration of beauty, movement, and artistry.

But the night didn’t end there! It was time for a proper New York experience – a dinner on the roof! I have to tell you, my darling readers, the views were spectacular. The lights of the city twinkling below as we sipped on our cocktails (pink ones of course!) - oh, so glamorous! I had that classic 'only in New York' moment as I realised just how special this city truly is.

Being in New York always inspires me so much, you know? From the dancers at the Lincoln Center, to the street performers on Broadway, everyone embraces the magic of expression and movement in their own way. It just ignites my passion, making me want to dance even more! I think, my dearest readers, that a Pink Tutu is the perfect embodiment of that, representing pure joy, grace, and fun! What could be better than celebrating that spirit on a bright, busy city like this?

My advice to you dear readers, if you find yourselves in New York on a Monday, make sure you check out some of these things:

1. The Metropolitan Museum of Art: Always an iconic pick! It’s bursting with incredible works of art, making you feel like you’re stepping into a world of creative expression and history.

2. A Broadway Show: This is what New York is all about. There are so many iconic musicals – a sure-fire way to spend an exciting and truly unique evening. And what could be better than adding a splash of pink to that?

3. Central Park: I highly recommend it, especially for a gentle stroll amidst the green, surrounded by fresh air and sunshine!

I know, I know, you’re wondering what this Pink Tutu Ballerina is up to this week? Well, back to my day-to-day life, darling! That’s not to say the adventures will end. Next week, it’s back to performing, a lovely ballet event for the children of Derbyshire! And yes, I’ll be wearing a new tutu, of course! My dear readers, it's going to be full of fun, laughter, and hopefully, lots of twirling. I'll be sure to share it all with you, so stay tuned!

Remember, darlings, life’s an adventure and every day is a chance to make your mark, so dance, dream, and most importantly, be yourselves! And, oh, why not give the pink tutu a go too? Let’s spread the pink tutu love all around the world!

Until next Monday!
