Welcome back, my darlings! It's Monday, which means it's time for another Pink Tutu Blog NYC post. This week I'm brimming with excitement as I recount the most wonderful trip to New York City, a trip that involved, you guessed it... pink tutus! 🎀 And yes, before you ask, this is my 879th post – that’s nearly 18 years worth of tutu-licious adventures!
Let's journey back to a few days ago. As usual, I travelled in style on the subway – I can't help but feel like a modern-day Marie Antoinette cruising around the Big Apple, but with less frills and a whole lot more tutu.
Why New York, you ask? Well, dear reader, it's no secret that New York is one of the cultural capitals of the world! It's an absolute melting pot of talent, creativity, and fashion – the perfect storm for a pink-loving ballerina like myself!
This trip, I was particularly excited to see "An American in Paris" on Broadway – a true gem that truly transported me to the City of Lights. Oh, and the music was divine! The ballet choreography was utterly exquisite. I nearly jumped out of my seat – yes, in my pink tutu, you understand! 🤫
Speaking of the Big Apple's vibrant arts scene, it simply wouldn't be complete without a trip to Lincoln Center.
My heart almost burst with happiness! My eyes darted from the incredible architecture to the impressive street performers. And let me tell you, there wasn't a shortage of colour or enthusiasm – the New Yorkers were in full bloom. This was all before I even set foot in the New York State Theater to watch a dazzling performance of Swan Lake by the New York City Ballet.
Oh, I almost forgot! This particular performance had a twist! There were some seriously innovative ballet shoe designs – think, feathers, sparkly fabric, and some wonderfully creative use of colour. It got me thinking – perhaps a pink-tutu-meets-glittery-ballet-shoe ensemble might be the next big thing in New York fashion. 😉
After my trip to Lincoln Center, my appetite was insatiable. It had to be satisfied! I decided to go on a food adventure! I discovered this quaint little cafe tucked away in a bustling part of the city, called "La Petite Patisserie." The air smelled like a sweet dream come true, filled with the scent of freshly baked croissants, pastries and coffee! 🥐☕️
And then came my greatest joy. A little pink macaron – so light, delicate, and perfectly pink! I almost cried tears of joy! And do you know what? It even matched my tutu. 🙈
After my scrumptious Parisian escapade in the heart of New York, I knew I had to indulge my passion for all things fashionable. And that meant one thing: shopping, darling! 🛍️
A walk along 5th Avenue always gets my pulse racing – from Tiffany's to Saks, every window sparkled with glamour. And my wallet definitely took a little bit of a hit – a fashion blogger has to keep up with the latest trends, you understand!
Now, back to my main love. What’s a ballerina trip without a little ballet class? I squeezed in an incredible masterclass taught by none other than the legendary, Natasha Rostova!
Let's just say I was completely mesmerised by Natasha's artistry – the fluidity, grace, and elegance were captivating!
Even if I did say so myself, I think my moves have definitely been polished up after her brilliant teaching.
My days in New York were an whirlwind of artistic brilliance, fashion fever, and the most delicious culinary delights. And, of course, I wouldn't forget my mission. I, naturally, saw to it that my trusty pink tutu accompanied me everywhere – from the subway to the stage, and everything in between. It even found a way to weave its way through the chaos of Times Square – quite an adventure indeed!
My darlings, I must say, I'm absolutely smitten with the energy of New York City. It truly is a place where dreams can come true – where fashion, ballet, and delicious treats come together in a spectacular symphony of life!
I may be from Derbyshire, England, but the spirit of the Big Apple will always hold a special place in my heart – a vibrant dance, a fashion spectacle, and a world of pink tutus!
And remember, my lovelies, even if you’re not in New York, never forget to embrace the power of your inner ballerina and dance through life with a twirl, a smile, and perhaps a little pink tutu magic! 💖
Until next time, dear reader! ✨
P.S. My darling readers, did you know I started a ballet-themed travel vlog! This weekend I am visiting an iconic Parisian dance studio with a long-standing tradition. Will it be in a pink tutu, you ask? I’m so glad you asked… 😉 Subscribe to the Pink Tutu Vlog for more fun and inspiring updates!
