#PinkTutuBlogNYC Monday 2016-02-29 she danced in New York City

Hello my lovely tutu-wearing darlings! It’s Emma here, back from another fabulous adventure in the city that never sleeps, and this time it’s New York City! As you know, I’ve always dreamed of twirling my way through the streets of this iconic metropolis, and let me tell you, it was everything I imagined and more!

Today, I'm sharing all the glittering details of my most recent jaunt to the Big Apple, where I danced, shopped, and explored with the sheer joy of a tutu-clad ballerina on a mission. This time, my journey began with a breathtaking performance at the Lincoln Center, showcasing my love for the elegant art of ballet to a captivated audience. The energy was electric, the stage aglow with the magic of dance, and the sheer spectacle left me spellbound. And of course, my tutu, a shimmering confection of pink tulle, perfectly captured the mood!

The journey from the Lincoln Center to my quaint little hotel in Brooklyn was an absolute delight, too. I hopped on the Metro, an experience I always look forward to, soaking in the colourful characters and the endless energy that courses through these subterranean tunnels. There's nothing quite like navigating the bustling, chaotic underground of New York, the city thrumming above, and you know what? I did it all with my tutu in tow, of course! I love showing everyone how to embrace the unconventional and be fearless in your style, no matter where you go!

Now, we all know that a trip to New York isn’t complete without a spot of retail therapy, and this trip was no exception. From the chic boutiques on Madison Avenue to the bargain finds at SoHo, I was truly in my element, scouring for the perfect wardrobe additions for my upcoming ballet performances and blog shoots. You won't believe the adorable pink ballet shoes I stumbled upon - just picture them, the most exquisite pair of pointe shoes, completely dipped in the most glorious shade of pink imaginable! I had to grab them, didn't I? Of course I did! They're definitely going to be making an appearance in my next performance.

But the fun wasn't limited to the stores. I ventured into the world of vintage fashion, uncovering forgotten gems in charming, little boutiques. Let’s just say I scored some truly stunning pieces for my upcoming performances. Imagine, a vintage feather boa that practically vibrates with glitz and glamour, and a gorgeous pair of pearl earrings that would make any ballerina queen jealous!

Now, no trip to New York is complete without indulging in the culinary delights this city has to offer. From a hearty breakfast of fluffy pancakes and steaming coffee in a buzzing cafe in Greenwich Village, to a delicious dinner of Italian fare in Little Italy, I savoured every flavour. I can’t tell you how excited I was to try an iconic New York slice of pizza - a culinary adventure I had dreamt of since I was a little girl. Let’s just say it exceeded every expectation!

But my favourite food adventure of all? Finding a bakery dedicated solely to the wonders of pink! Honestly, you guys, I was in pure pink heaven. They had pink cakes, pink cookies, pink cupcakes - you name it! Every shade of pink imaginable! Of course, I treated myself to a pink pastry, and you know what? It was as delicious as it looked. And yes, of course I wore my tutu as I took photos with my pink-hued treats!

As you know, a ballet dancer’s heart beats for the magic of the theatre. And I was absolutely thrilled to get tickets to see a stunning ballet production on Broadway! The entire experience was enchanting, from the hushed reverence of the audience to the graceful, heart-wrenching performance that took place onstage. Every twirl, every leap, every expression of emotion resonated with my very soul! This is what I live for, the beauty and the passion that can only be found in a live performance, the raw emotion captured through movement. It is a form of storytelling unlike any other!

After the performance, I indulged in the magic of the New York theatre district, feeling inspired and invigorated by the dazzling lights and vibrant atmosphere. I can honestly say that my trip to New York exceeded my wildest dreams! It was a ballet-filled, shopping-filled, laughter-filled whirlwind, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way!

Now, I’m back in the comfort of my Derbyshire home, surrounded by the familiar scent of freshly brewed tea and the gentle sound of birdsong. While the bustle of New York is a beautiful memory, it’s time to turn my attention back to my daily ballet routine. It’s time to twirl, to jump, to stretch, and to feel the music move through my body. It’s time to spread my love for the ballet, the magic of pink, and of course, the glorious, flowing tutu!

Remember my dears, never be afraid to embrace your passions. Whether it’s ballet, shopping, or just wearing a vibrant pink tutu to a bakery, let your unique style shine. Because every single one of you is absolutely beautiful, and we deserve to feel that every single day!

So, until next time, stay beautiful, stay brave, and always, always, wear pink!

With a twirl and a smile,

Emma
