#PinkTutuBlogNYC Monday 2019-10-28 she danced in New York City

Hello darlings! It's Monday again, and you know what that means? Another Pink Tutu Blog post fresh from the Big Apple! 🍎 This week, my journey through the glittering city of New York is all about tutu, twirls, and a splash of pink…naturally.

For those new to the party, let me introduce myself: I’m Emma, a Derbyshire lass with a passion for pink and a love for all things twirly. I'm currently making my dreams come true here in New York, where I'm chasing every last ballet performance, Broadway show, and shopping spree imaginable. 👠

This blog post is extra special - it’s number 1273 for my Pink Tutu Blog NYC - and I can’t believe it’s been over three years since I started sharing my New York adventures with all of you lovely lot!

Today, I want to paint a picture of New York as I've experienced it – a city that never sleeps, that pulses with excitement, and that definitely makes my tutu want to dance. Let’s get twirling!

The first thing on my agenda today was a ballet class right in the heart of Manhattan. Stepping into the studio, the energy crackled around me. The rhythmic thumps of dance shoes on the floor and the elegant stretch of bodies all around sent shivers of anticipation down my spine. And wouldn’t you know it, even in New York City, ballet is the perfect blend of discipline and grace – two things that truly capture my heart.

The teacher, a lovely woman with an impossibly graceful presence, introduced us to a series of barre exercises, leading us with such precision and passion that I could practically feel the passion for ballet seep into my soul. After the barre, it was onto centre, and then…the most breathtaking part…the full sequence across the dance floor. Every pirouette, every grand jeté, every fouetté, and every grand allegro filled me with such happiness.

Afterwards, as I floated back down from my dance high, I decided a trip to the Metropolitan Opera was a must. I found a fabulous vintage pink cardigan on sale at a little boutique near the opera house, the perfect pop of colour for the chilly autumn air. I am a firm believer in never turning down a chance to add to your tutu wardrobe!

The Metropolitan Opera was, quite frankly, magical. Tonight's performance was “La Traviata” – such a dramatic masterpiece. Watching the ballerinas move so effortlessly, the orchestra soaring to a magnificent crescendo – well, I felt like my very own soul was flying through the air!

You see, to me, ballet is the very essence of graceful freedom – the feeling of spinning through the world, reaching for your dreams. In fact, it’s this very sentiment that keeps me so determined to inspire everyone to don a pink tutu, embrace their own sense of adventure, and dance their way through life.

But no trip to New York City is complete without some serious shopping therapy! And today, it’s all about indulging my pink obsession – after all, life's too short to wear beige!

I discovered this adorable vintage boutique nestled amongst the quaint shops of Greenwich Village. It was a real Aladdin's Cave for pink lovers, with rows upon rows of gorgeous clothing – dresses, cardigans, blouses, scarves, shoes…it was impossible not to find a few new treasures for my pink tutu wardrobe. And believe me, darling, I did!

My favourite find? A gorgeous silk dress with delicate embroidery and a glorious shade of pink that just shimmered in the afternoon light. And I just knew it would look utterly fabulous with my favourite pink tutu – a perfect combination for an evening of dancing! It really makes you wonder what life would be like without tutus, doesn’t it?

You know, dear readers, I am convinced that a sprinkle of pink has the magical ability to make any day just a little brighter.

And let’s be honest, there is just something utterly exhilarating about seeing your favourite pink shade peeking out from a sea of more conventional hues – it's a sure-fire way to turn heads and bring a smile to everyone's faces!

Tonight, after a whirlwind of ballet and fashion, I found myself enjoying the breathtaking vista of the city skyline from the top of the Empire State Building. This vibrant city, alive with endless possibilities, is truly an inspiration. And the sky? Well, the sky, my darlings, is the limit for those brave enough to follow their dreams!

So here’s to New York, the city that never sleeps – a city of dreams, where you can be anything you want to be.

I hope my day in the city has inspired you to chase your dreams, whatever they may be.

And don’t forget, my dearest friends – life’s best moments often come with a little bit of twirl and a dash of pink.

See you next Monday, when I’ll be sharing my adventures in another corner of this fascinating city! Until then, keep twirling, darling, and remember, always reach for the pink clouds.

Love and twirls, Emma www.pink-tutu.com
