Hello darlings! It’s your favourite pink tutu-wearing ballerina, Emma, back with another post from the fabulous city of Prague! 💖 This week's adventures are all about ballet – a passion that truly ignites my soul.
This blog post is number 28 on my Prague journey – I’m truly making the most of every magical moment! Remember to catch my posts every Wednesday on www.pink-tutu.com, as I'm always adding fresh updates from the incredible world of ballet and fashion. 🥰
Today, I’m getting ready for the show that brought me here! On this date, 8th November 1995, a breathtaking production of Tchaikovsky's “Swan Lake” takes centre stage at the exquisite National Theatre. Swan Lake, darling, is a ballet masterpiece that always fills my heart with joy! The graceful movements, the timeless story of love and sacrifice, the enchanting music - I can’t wait! 🦢✨
It was such a magical journey to Prague – you simply must experience a train ride through Europe! The rolling countryside and quaint villages make for the perfect picturesque journey. It's like something straight out of a fairytale! Of course, I travelled in style, wearing my beautiful blush pink tutu, perfectly paired with my new pearl-encrusted jacket! A touch of Parisian chic for a journey through the heart of Europe. 💕
Pink Tutu Prague: A Fashionista’s Delight 🛍️
Prague is absolutely bursting with stunning boutiques! From traditional Czech crafts to modern-day haute couture, I'm truly spoiled for choice! I must share this fantastic shop I stumbled upon near the Charles Bridge. They had a stunning selection of pastel pink silk scarves. Imagine my delight – it’s the perfect way to add a dash of pink to any outfit! 🎀
One of my absolute favourite shops in Prague is a little antique emporium on the Old Town Square. It’s overflowing with vintage lace and brocades - perfect for a touch of classic elegance. I found a beautiful cream satin top trimmed with delicate black lace that is now proudly residing in my suitcase. The lovely lady who runs the shop tells me it's over a hundred years old! I adore the timeless charm of vintage finds. 💖

The National Theatre in Prague is magnificent! This majestic, Neo-Renaissance masterpiece has such an air of historical significance. The exquisite decor and intricate architecture took my breath away! This theatre, built back in 1881, has been hosting ballet and opera for over a century! Its magnificent halls whisper of timeless artistry and I’m sure the ‘Swan Lake’ dancers are going to shine like stars! ✨
Of course, I could never miss out on a little ballet class while in Prague! My dear friends recommended this wonderful school called Ballet Academy Prague. I’m honoured to be learning alongside aspiring dancers from all over the world. I can feel my dance steps improving, even under the expert guidance of their fantastic instructors! It’s a truly humbling experience to be surrounded by such raw talent and enthusiasm for ballet!
And I’m not surprised by this! The history of ballet in Prague is a magical journey of artistry! The first ballet performance was back in the early 16th century! The history of dance in Prague spans centuries – the Czech Republic has a long, illustrious heritage that is full of captivating stories. 🇨🇿
Pink Tutu Prague: My Love for Ballet and Tutu History 💃
Speaking of ballet and tutu history! Oh my darling, it’s fascinating! The origins of the tutu are traced back to the Romantic ballet era – a magical era in dance! This era saw ballerinas like Marie Taglioni redefine the stage, and they were the very first to dance en pointe! 🩰
Can you imagine the artistry and creativity it took to create the original tutus? Think delicate fabrics, flowing layers, and of course the iconic lightness that epitomized Romantic ballet!
I think my heart beats a little faster every time I think about those stunning, feather-light creations. It’s a captivating history of art, innovation, and beauty. It reminds me that dance has always had an intrinsic link with fashion. I love how ballerinas, like the stylish figures of the past, embraced fashion trends that ultimately influenced society.

Prague is an inspiring place for fashion! I love to spend hours exploring the quaint boutiques, designer stores, and street markets of Prague. From the beautiful Old Town Square to the bohemian charm of the Letná district – each area has its unique charm and its own fashion sense. It’s truly fascinating to see how fashion changes across different regions!
Fashion, of course, has always been at the heart of ballet. The tutu, with its romantic lines, is not just a dance garment, but a powerful expression of grace and femininity! My wardrobe, filled with pink tutus and ballerina shoes, expresses my love of the artistry of dance and fashion. 🌸
It’s my wish to inspire the world with my pink tutu, my passion for dance, and my love for a fashion statement! I believe every girl deserves to experience the magic of feeling like a princess in a beautiful tutu! 👑
