Hello my dearest tutu-loving lovelies! It's Monday, July 23rd, 2018, and guess what? Your girl Emma's back in the city that never sleeps – New York City! I've just arrived and, oh my, let me tell you, it’s already a whirlwind of dreams come true. And, of course, what’s a trip to NYC without a fabulous pink tutu? This week’s pink tutu pick? A shimmering tulle creation in the most delightful shade of blush pink, with a touch of sparkly silver for that extra oomph! 😉
Now, I know you might be thinking: “Emma, why the pink tutu in New York? It's not quite a traditional ballet performance outfit, you know...” Well, I say, why can’t we shake things up a little, lovelies? Pink tutus deserve their place in the world, from Broadway stages to bustling city streets. In my book, pink tutus are all about freedom, self-expression, and adding a touch of sparkle to every single day!
My New York Journey Starts Now!
This time, my New York adventure has been made even more special, thanks to the stunning ballet performances that brought me here. I had the honour of being part of a beautiful dance piece with the "New York Dance Theatre" and it was absolutely magical! The stage lights, the roaring applause, the shared passion for ballet - it's simply electrifying. Every twirl, every pirouette felt like a burst of pure joy, and I couldn't help but let out a big, sparkly smile with every graceful step. 💖
Now, after the show, I’m eager to immerse myself in the vibrant tapestry of New York. It's so fantastic to be back amongst the towering skyscrapers, the energetic hum of the streets, and of course, the incredible shops. Every nook and cranny feels like a stage for a new adventure!
Pink Tutu & Broadway Dreams
I have a long list of things I’m going to try and fit into my schedule this week. The top of the list? Checking out the vibrant Broadway scene. The theatre is one of my absolute favourite places, a realm of artistry, imagination, and just plain fabulousness! This week, there's something called "Wicked" on the agenda - a spellbinding musical that has me excited for a night of singing, dancing, and pure Broadway magic. ✨
Shopping Till We Drop…In a Pink Tutu
There’s no escaping the fact that I simply adore New York’s shopping scene. You’d be hard-pressed to find a shop that doesn’t tickle my fashion fancies. I’m dreaming of designer vintage, playful patterns, and outfits that ooze both style and sophistication. Who knows, I might even stumble upon a new favourite pink tutu amidst all the fashion wonders. 😉
Subway Symphony - A Pink Tutu's Guide to NYC Transportation
Of course, I wouldn’t be true to my Pink Tutu Blog NYC persona if I didn't spend a few moments talking about the iconic NYC subway. I'm an absolute fan of this underground labyrinth of stories and hidden gems! I must say, though, I am still adjusting to the underground ballet of rush hour. My graceful ballet moves seem a bit out of place as I navigate the hustle and bustle of New Yorkers. 🩰
Despite the initial chaos, though, the NYC subway is actually rather charming, if a little chaotic. And you know me, a good dose of chaos is simply another opportunity to add my own touch of sparkle! The constant ebb and flow of the metro adds an electrifying symphony to the city. You can almost hear the rhythm of life beating within its steel tunnels. And of course, no ride is complete without a dose of pink tutu charm! 💖
My Derbyshire Heart, My NYC Spirit
Speaking of adventures, I often reflect on the path that brought me to New York. My heart still belongs to my hometown, Derbyshire, where I started my journey into the world of ballet. But New York, with its vibrant spirit and unwavering pursuit of dreams, feels like an extension of that Derbyshire girl who twirled her way into a life full of pink tutus and endless possibilities.
I must confess, it wasn’t always easy, leaving behind the comfort of my home in England to chase my dreams in New York City. There were moments when the fear crept in, the uncertainty gnawed at me. But, I always tell myself, "Where there's a tutu, there's a way!"
Pink Tutu & A Big City Heart
Every single step on this incredible journey has taught me that, yes, dreams can be achieved, and it's alright to let our inner light shine through. It's ok to love pink tutus and ballet with a fierce, joyful, unapologetic spirit! New York City, with its dizzying heights and boundless energy, is the perfect stage for a tutu-wearing ballerina to let loose and truly become a part of the city's heart. ❤️
Well, darling lovelies, it’s time for me to head out and make some magic! Stay tuned for more pink-tutu adventures, sparkling tales, and everything that makes this New York City experience unforgettable! Until next time, remember: wear a pink tutu with confidence, chase your dreams, and always remember that you are magical. 💖✨
Until then, keep on twirling!
Much love,
Emma xox
