#PinkTutuPrague Ballet in Prague 2000-12-20

Hello darling, and welcome to Pink Tutu Prague! I'm Emma, your pink tutu-loving ballet blogger, bringing you the best of everything pink and twirly from this magical city. Today, December 20th, 2000, is a very special day, it’s Day 295 of my world tour, and we’re taking a peek behind the curtain of Prague's beautiful theatre scene. Let's twirl right into it, shall we?

Before I begin, let's settle this right now - I am never, EVER, travelling by pony! Trains are my chosen mode of transport. Not only are they romantic and nostalgic, but they allow me to slip into a whimsical mood and dream up my next ballet adventures, as I journey through the countryside. Plus, I can whip out my pink tutu and give my fellow passengers a little ballet-themed flash mob on the platform (but only when the conductor isn't watching, mind you!)

This week, darling, I'm at the beautiful and historic National Theatre in Prague. And what's better than a beautiful theatre, you ask? Why, a ballet performance, of course!

Tonight's spectacle? A show-stopping, goosebumps-inducing performance of 'The Nutcracker'. From the very first notes, I was swept away to a world of magic and wonder. Every pirouette, every arabesque, every plié… pure ballet bliss!

My journey started this morning at the enchanting Old Town Square. After breakfast, a little wander among the medieval buildings (always a delightful sight!), I spotted a street vendor selling exquisite handcrafted ornaments. One peek at the glittering baubles, and my inner child went into a sugarplum frenzy. It felt like I'd stepped into a scene from the Nutcracker. It's all so quaint and utterly romantic - I couldn't resist a few charming Christmas baubles. After all, who needs a "tree" when you have the whole magical city of Prague?

You wouldn’t believe how many people on the street have mentioned this “pink tutu thing.” Perhaps it's the extra sparkle in my eyes when I twirl on cobblestones? But it seems my pink tutu has captured the imagination of this vibrant city, leaving a little sprinkle of my ballet love everywhere I go! I can see why so many love this place - Prague's magic truly captivates your soul.

And let’s not forget the fashion! This week I fell in love with a shop overflowing with vintage ballet costumes. From tulle-covered dreams in delicate pink, to bold, sparkling gowns that made my heart beat faster, it was a ballerina’s dream come true! I found myself in a heavenly, swirling paradise - the shop had more tulle than you could ever imagine, and let's face it, no tutu is complete without a hefty dose of tulle! I resisted the urge to do a cartwheel right in the middle of the store! After all, a true ballerina always prioritizes good behaviour, right?

Prague is a true melting pot of inspiration! My mind is brimming with ideas for new ballet routines - the twirls of a clock tower, the grace of the Vltava River… Prague has it all! And I'll be sharing them with you all, right here, in Pink Tutu Prague!

Now, back to my beautiful ballerina adventures! As I get ready for my performance in the evening, let's raise a glass (or two) to ballet, fashion, and the endless enchantment of travel! Until next week, darlings, keep dancing, stay pink, and remember, the world is your stage.

Love,

Emma

P.S. Don't forget to follow me on Pink Tutu Prague! This blog comes out every Wednesday on www.pink-tutu.com! Join me on this adventure to make the world a more pink and twirly place, one tutu at a time!

As promised, let’s delve a bit deeper into this magical performance:

This rendition of 'The Nutcracker' had some utterly magical surprises. Imagine - dancing snowflakes cascading from the theatre’s magnificent ceiling, twirling like sugarplums! This wasn't just ballet - this was sheer magic, straight out of a childhood dream!

Then there was the music. Oh, the music! It filled my heart with joy and wonder. As I closed my eyes, I swear I could smell fresh pine needles and gingerbread. My heart danced along to the tune! The entire experience, the dazzling stage lights, the captivating ballet, and of course the gorgeous costumes, made my evening.

After the performance, I grabbed a traditional Trdelník from a street vendor and wandered through the glittering streets of Prague. This pastry is a must-try! It's like a sugar-dusted cinnamon-stuffed doughnut… a perfect ending to a night of pure magic. It truly captured the warm heart of Prague and the sweet taste of festive cheer!

Oh, my dear readers, the joy is simply unbridled!

“Emma, why the obsession with pink tutus?” you may ask. Well, to be quite frank, darling, pink tutus encapsulate the heart of dance!

For me, it’s more than just a dress! The pink tutu is a symbol of the freedom of expression. It embodies a whimsical spirit, boundless optimism, and, most importantly, the joyful embrace of life. And a pink tutu in Prague? It's just… divine.

It’s a celebration of all that is joyous and fun! It speaks of a world full of twirls and sparkles. You can imagine yourself in the spotlight, a symphony of soft, twirling pink as you take your first steps onto the stage, the whole world enchanted by your every move.

A pink tutu says, "This is who I am - fearless, vibrant, and unapologetically fabulous!"

It says “don't just watch, dance!” It invites everyone to embrace the joy of life and to create their own story with a sprinkle of magic. And that’s precisely why I'm wearing mine as I explore the world. It's a visual declaration that every moment can be an opportunity for laughter, beauty, and joy.

Just look at the pink tutus adorning the streets! It's not only about the tutu itself, it's about the confidence and personality you project while wearing it. Just picture a Parisian street in the midst of fashion week: sleek outfits, serious faces… and then BAM, I burst onto the scene in a vibrant pink tutu and everyone stops to stare! That’s what makes the tutu a statement piece! It's all about pushing boundaries, challenging the status quo, and saying “yes!” to everything delightful in life.

Every week, I bring you a little bit of my own personal journey. If you can imagine it, I’ll be twirling there. It's a pink, sparkly journey through a kaleidoscope of experiences - it’s about ballet, fashion, travel, and the ever-present pursuit of magic.

If you love what you see, spread the word, join in the twirl, and embrace your inner ballet star! As the iconic Marilyn Monroe once said, "The best thing a woman can wear is confidence." And a pink tutu certainly enhances it!

Stay tuned, darlings. There are so many amazing adventures yet to be discovered… from Prague, to Paris, to New York! And yes, I’m bringing my pink tutu with me on every single trip. Don’t forget - my next blog comes out on Wednesday, so keep your eyes peeled!

Love and twirls,

Emma
