#PinkTutuPrague Ballet in Prague 2004-04-14

Hello my darling dears! It’s Emma here, and this week I’m writing to you from the magical city of Prague! 🩰

It’s Wednesday, so that means a new Pink Tutu Prague post! And this time, I’m bursting with excitement. You know how much I love discovering the beauty of cities through the lens of their history, culture, and, of course, their fashion. And Prague, with its charming cobbled streets and stunning architecture, has been an absolute dream!

Before I delve into all the pink-tastic adventures, I just have to share my travel journey, which was a delightful blend of classic and whimsical. First, I took a romantic train ride across Europe – the clinking of the train tracks, the stunning views, and the smell of warm tea – pure magic. From there, I hopped on a gentle, fluffy pony, which carried me through the rolling green hills, feeling the breeze on my face, and whispering "goodbye" to Derbyshire. I might have done a little twirl or two along the way! 🤫

Now, as promised, let's dive into all things pink and Prague:

Speaking of pink, what better place to start than the mesmerizing ballet performance I witnessed last night at the National Theatre? It was just the most exquisite spectacle – graceful dancers gliding across the stage in shimmering tutus, their every movement telling a story of love, loss, and triumph! My favourite part, however, was the absolutely glorious pink tutu worn by the ballerina playing the lead role. I almost burst into a pirouette just seeing it! ✨

But the wonder didn't stop there! The whole theatre was like stepping into a fairy tale, a magical world of swirling fabrics, velvet seats, and sparkling chandeliers. It’s safe to say the ballet truly stole my heart!

Now, as a fellow ballerina, you understand the joy of sharing our love for the art form, don’t you? It’s all about expressing ourselves, moving our bodies, and connecting with the audience through our passion for dance. I even met the sweetest little girl outside the theatre, dressed in a tiny pink tutu herself, and we giggled and talked about our favourite ballerinas. 🥰

You can’t come to Prague without exploring the stunning Old Town Square – a kaleidoscope of colours and a haven for history buffs! I was absolutely enchanted by the astronomical clock, and the quirky stories surrounding its design. I even saw a beautiful, traditional pink doll with intricate details and stunning fabric that reminded me of a ballet dancer in full costume! She was like a little princess, and I just couldn’t resist taking her home.

One of my favourite things about Prague is its cobbled streets. They whisper stories of centuries gone by, and they feel so romantic as you stroll along, dipping in and out of shops and cafes. The colours of the buildings are truly breathtaking – from the sunny yellows to the dusky blues, and, of course, the elegant pinks. This city just sings to my soul! 💖

And let’s not forget the shopping, oh darling, the shopping! 🛍️ The shops are brimming with treasures - everything from antique jewellery to quirky, unique accessories. You wouldn’t believe the stunning array of tutus! (I’m thinking a pink tutu with shimmering emerald accents might be making its way home with me – but that's a secret for now!).

I've been on the lookout for some inspiration for a new dance routine, and this city is overflowing with possibilities. Just the way the sunlight dances on the Charles Bridge, the way the leaves rustle in the wind, the way the swans glide on the water – everything is a little bit theatrical and incredibly graceful. 🦢

It’s not all ballet and tutus, of course! This trip wouldn't be complete without tasting the flavours of Prague. The Czech food scene is a delectable wonderland of creamy sauces, juicy sausages, and sweet treats – all bursting with the perfect mix of comfort and spice.

Speaking of delicious, have you ever had a "Trdelník" - the traditional Czech pastry? They’re like cinnamon-infused donuts that are baked on a spit over an open flame. It’s not quite pink, but it’s so beautiful, the sweet aroma filling the air, it’s almost as if it's made with love and sprinkles of fairytale dust! 💖✨

Speaking of which, I stumbled upon this amazing little cafe – it’s all pink and decorated with beautiful floral prints, and it has the cutest porcelain dolls wearing tiny ballet outfits! And they serve the most delightful strawberry tart I’ve ever had - it even had a miniature pink rose on top.

And did I mention that Prague’s also known for its exquisite hot chocolate? My favourite is served in a little pink cup with a mountain of whipped cream. I swear, it’s good enough to inspire a new ballet routine! ☕

So, darling dears, that’s my glimpse into a whirlwind of Prague. But the story doesn't end here.

In the coming weeks, I'll be exploring more of Prague's enchanting treasures:

• The enchanting Prague Castle, with its rich history and fairytale views. Imagine the stories it could tell – the battles, the loves, the royalty – and what I'd look like waltzing through the halls in a fluffy pink tutu! 💖
• Wandering through the city's museums and galleries – searching for hidden artistic gems and maybe finding inspiration for my own ballerina art project.
• Visiting the breathtaking Lennon Wall - a testament to the spirit of peace and love, and a chance to leave my own mark, perhaps with a pink-tinted message about the power of dance and tutus! ☮️🩰

And don’t worry – there will be plenty of opportunities to discover more hidden pink wonders!

Stay tuned for more Pink Tutu adventures, darlings! And don’t forget – a little bit of pink, a little bit of tutu, and a whole lot of sparkle can make any journey extraordinary! ✨

Love, Emma
