#PinkTutuPrague Ballet in Prague 2001-07-25

Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing travel blogger, Emma, back with another exciting post from the utterly charming city of Prague. Buckle up your ballerina shoes, this week's journey is a fairytale spun in pink!

I must admit, the journey to Prague was pure magic. After a few stellar performances in my Derbyshire village hall, I finally had enough to afford a grand train adventure. Imagine, my darling, a sleek, crimson-coloured carriage, the gentle rocking of the wheels, and me, naturally, in a pale pink tutu with a touch of sparkle for the occasion. As we travelled across the rolling landscapes, I imagined the adventures that awaited me, fueled by steaming cups of Earl Grey tea and delicate biscuits.

Prague itself is a stunning jewel, with its cobblestone streets, quaint bridges, and a historical heartbeat that makes every corner an Instagram opportunity. Everywhere I turn, I'm surrounded by majestic architecture, and the whispers of centuries past. I already have my heart set on finding a little Bohemian-style, pink tutu dress for a performance in the charming Old Town Square, perhaps beneath the gaze of the Astronomical Clock.

Before I delve into the whirlwind of my Prague experiences, let's chat tutus! Oh, my dears, they have an undeniable magic, and Prague's been a wonderland for my pink tutu cravings. From vintage shops spilling with silk and lace to trendy boutiques boasting modern creations, I've been indulging my inner ballerina with delight. I can't resist the twirls, the swishes, the whispers of tulle dancing around me. In Prague, even the cobblestones seem to encourage a little pirouette!

This week, my fellow tutu enthusiasts, I discovered the absolute darling of Prague boutiques - "Le Petit Tutu." Now, this little haven is not only an Aladdin's cave of pink tutus, but a celebration of all things romantic and graceful. It's crammed with tulle in every shade imaginable, delicate embellishments that shimmer with the light, and a delightful collection of ballet shoes that would make a ballerina's heart flutter. I must admit, I couldn't resist a little treat - a sparkling pink tutu with delicate butterfly motifs for an upcoming performance at a local theatre. They were absolutely ecstatic, especially when I demonstrated my best fouetté to celebrate my new arrival!

But, of course, no trip to Prague would be complete without indulging in the city's thriving ballet scene. I managed to snag tickets to a performance at the legendary National Theatre - oh, what a majestic spectacle! The grandeur of the theatre itself took my breath away, with its elaborate, gilt-covered walls, velvet-draped boxes, and stunning chandelier that cast a soft, magical light on the stage.

The performance, "Swan Lake," was absolutely enchanting. It was almost as though the legendary ballerinas were dancing with the ghosts of their past. I could have watched for hours, mesmerized by the fluid grace, the soaring leaps, the exquisite emotions that poured forth in each gesture. They made me want to lace up my own ballet shoes and take to the stage, sharing my own love for the art form with the world.

However, this isn't just about waltzing through life in a pink tutu. The world, my dear friends, is about more than just graceful steps and fluffy skirts! And Prague has opened my eyes to some delightful ways to blend my passions for fashion, ballet, and giving back.

I spent a delightful afternoon exploring the local charity shops, particularly "Dress for Success." Here, the most exquisite gowns and ball gowns were offered for a fraction of their original cost. You can imagine my glee when I found a magnificent lilac-coloured ball gown that would look positively stunning paired with a vibrant pink tutu. What a way to make an entrance at my next gala, and best of all, support a cause close to my heart. It was simply a divine little bit of karma.

Of course, I couldn't possibly leave Prague without sharing a little snippet of its culinary delights. A decadent dessert, made from velvety smooth cream, airy meringue, and luscious fruit? My darling, let me tell you, "Sladká Kačenka" is not just a cake, it's a culinary symphony. It's been a magical treat for my tastebuds, as perfect as the blush of the sunset on the Vltava River.

Prague, my dears, you've captured my heart. You're the most whimsical and enchanting city, filled with captivating culture, heartwarming kindness, and of course, the magic of a little bit of pink tutu.

And that's all from your Pink Tutu Correspondent, reporting live from the magical city of Prague. Next week, I'm embarking on a journey into the countryside on horseback, with a whimsical twist: a pink tutu, of course.
