Pink Tutu Blog: NYC – Monday 18th May 2015 – Post Number 1041
Good morning, darlings! 🩰
It's another gorgeous Monday in the Big Apple, and I'm so excited to share my adventures with you. This week's post is overflowing with pink, glittery dreams, dazzling dance moves, and a dash of New York magic. Grab a cuppa, settle in, and get ready to be swept away!
Back in the City That Never SleepsYou know that feeling when you're about to step off the plane, and you can practically feel the city's energy vibrating through your bones? That's New York City for me, my darlings! This trip feels like a dream.
It’s so wonderful to be back in this city that holds a special place in my heart. Since I last visited, I've been performing in London, sharing my passion for ballet and inspiring others to embrace the joy of dance. But, I must admit, nothing compares to the exhilarating feeling of strolling through Times Square, its dazzling billboards reflecting in the shiny surface of a pink tutu. 💖
Fashion and Dreams at Saks Fifth AvenueLet's face it, I can't come to New York City without a trip to Saks Fifth Avenue! Now, I don't mean to sound materialistic, but a girl's gotta stay glamorous, right? 😊 After all, who can resist the intoxicating scent of a designer perfume mingling with the delicate aroma of leather shoes? Not me, that's for sure!
I had the absolute best time browsing the racks, getting lost in a world of beautiful things. I'm particularly drawn to a pair of hot pink pumps, just a touch bolder than my usual ballerina pink. Think bold and daring, like a ballerina taking center stage after conquering her nerves! 🩰💃
A Touch of Broadway Magic: "The Lion King"But, it's not all about shopping. The heart of New York is undeniably in its dazzling theatre performances, the epic tales they tell, and the power they have to move us. Tonight, I'm headed to see "The Lion King" on Broadway! I simply adore this timeless story. The music, the costumes, the dazzling performances...it's truly an experience that stays with you long after the final curtain falls.
Did you know that the original Broadway production opened way back in 1997? It's an incredible testament to the timeless appeal of this magical story and a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful things endure the test of time.
Metro Adventures: The Heart of New YorkJust like every ballerina needs a warm-up routine, I need my regular dose of the NYC Metro! There's something incredibly exhilarating about hopping on the subway and navigating the city's bustling arteries. I find it to be such a romantic, characterful experience. I can imagine myself in a Parisian film, a Parisian beret tucked under my pink tutu, riding a metro carriage with only a handsome stranger by my side, of course. Cue swooning! 🥰
For me, the metro isn't just a mode of transport; it's a little slice of the city's soul, with its tapestry of stories, emotions, and the rhythm of its beating heart. It’s all so full of vibrant life and character.
New York Ballet DelightsYou know how much I adore ballet. My passion is practically overflowing, but a trip to NYC just wouldn’t be complete without attending a performance from the legendary New York City Ballet. This year, their repertoire is truly exciting. From the timeless classics to captivating new works, I can hardly wait!
They're performing “Swan Lake,” one of my all-time favorite ballets! There’s such incredible emotional depth within its graceful movements.
Plus, I can’t wait to see their new production, “The Pink Tutu.” Now I haven’t had a chance to see this piece yet. It sounds like the perfect blend of whimsical romance and cutting-edge contemporary choreography. I simply cannot wait!
Sharing My PassionRemember, darlings, my mission is to bring the joy of dance to everyone. My Pink Tutu Blog is a little platform for sharing my passion for all things ballet – from the dazzling shows on Broadway to the simple elegance of a ballerina’s life. It's all about spreading the joy of dance and celebrating our love for movement and grace.
Every time I step into a tutu, I'm inspired to be bolder, more confident, and to embrace my unique personality. So whether you're a seasoned dancer or simply curious about the world of ballet, let’s all put on our pink tutus and celebrate!

Finding My Inspiration in New YorkRemember, dear readers, life is about following your dreams. There’s always something new and inspiring waiting around the corner. When I'm feeling lost or unsure, I simply step out into the vibrant city and let it wash over me. The energy, the laughter, the symphony of sounds, the diverse faces, and the bright lights.
This trip is another opportunity to fall in love with New York all over again.
This amazing city constantly fuels my creative spirit, reminding me to dream big, and to embrace the unexpected, just like a dazzling ballet performance!
