#PinkTutuPrague Ballet in Prague 2006-04-19

Hello darlings! It's Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood pink tutu enthusiast, reporting live from the enchanting city of Prague! This week, my heart is overflowing with joy because, as you all know, Prague is the ultimate city for a ballet aficionado like myself! It's bursting with charm, history, and yes, believe it or not, a vibrant ballet scene! And if you haven't realised it by now, a pink tutu always feels right at home in such a magical setting!

So, settle in with a cuppa and let's dive into my week of Prague wonders, from ballet performances and delicious Czech pastries to a touch of Parisian fashion inspiration. It's going to be a whimsical adventure, just the way I like it!

As any good tutu-wearing ballerina knows, there's no better way to start the day than with a pirouette or two. But I'll admit, even with my passion for all things ballet, I sometimes struggle to find the perfect place to perfect my plié and chassé (we won't talk about my disastrous attempts at the grand jeté!).

That's why Prague, oh Prague, you stole my heart with your enchanting ballet schools and studios! From the charming Ballet Studio Prague tucked away in a historic building with beautiful vaulted ceilings, to the prestigious Taneční Konzervatoř Praha, a world-renowned ballet school with a truly captivating history, this city breathes ballet!

Now, I wouldn't dare tell you what went on in those lessons... I might be accused of letting out a little "Pink Tutu Prague" signature pirouette or two. 🤫 But trust me, those sessions were like dipping into a sweet, dreamy ballet bubble! And those beautiful ballet barres... oh my! I think I just might buy one myself, wouldn't that be a lovely addition to my living room? A little je ne sais quoi, a touch of le style, wouldn't you say?

Speaking of le style... Prague is a fashion haven, darlings! So many enchanting shops, brimming with vintage treasures and contemporary delights. My dear friends, I did not hold back on my shopping spree, because this city knows how to tempt a tutu-clad girl with its Parisian-inspired charm!

After my whirlwind tour of ballet studios, the excitement for my highlight of the week, the performance at the National Theatre, was truly bubbling! Oh, this beautiful building! It's not only home to the most splendid ballet shows, but also, to my delight, a stunning grand cafe. I simply had to indulge in a slice of Pražský koláč, the traditional Czech cheesecake, with a lovely pot of strong black coffee, for the perfect pre-show indulgence. It truly put me in the right mood to appreciate the artistry!

As I glided through the doors of the theatre, wearing a shimmering blush pink tulle tutu, of course, I felt like I was stepping back into a glamorous bygone era. The plush velvet seats, the delicate gold ornamentation, the sense of anticipation, everything was a testament to the enduring allure of ballet.

The show, a magical performance of Giselle, the tragic story of a peasant girl and her love for a disguised nobleman, was breathtaking. Each dancer, with their beautiful costumes, graceful movements, and passionate performances, stole my heart and had me completely engrossed in the story.

For a fleeting moment, I was transported back to the romantic world of the ballet, where imagination dances, and emotions take flight! I know, some people think ballet can be a little serious... well, maybe some versions are a tad gloomy. But let me tell you, darling, a pink tutu adds a splash of colour to any performance, making it instantly more joyful and fun! It was all just pure magic!

After a captivating performance at the National Theatre, I felt completely exhilarated! My tutu had twirled and pirouetted through the story, capturing the essence of the ballet, but I wasn't finished with my explorations just yet. The city of Prague is a labyrinth of enchanting streets, brimming with history, hidden gems, and the most charming cafes I've ever seen. And let's not forget those incredible pastel buildings... I'm certain I took hundreds of photos, my phone camera was almost as delighted as my pink tutu to be in such a colourful setting.

We embarked on a beautiful horse-drawn carriage ride, trotting through cobbled streets, passing ornate churches, and admiring the magical Charles Bridge lit by moonlight. It felt like we were stepping straight into a fairytale! (You know, darling, I can totally see myself with a gorgeous white pony pulling a dainty carriage, wearing a voluminous tutu, wouldn't that be exquisite?!).

Of course, my travels couldn't be complete without exploring the historic heart of Prague, the Old Town Square. As the sun started to dip below the horizon, the streets became alive with music and laughter, transforming the space into a magical realm! And as I sipped on a delicious Czech hot chocolate, my cheeks rosy and warm from the day's adventures, I was lost in the magical rhythm of this remarkable city.

You see, darling, travel isn't just about visiting places; it's about discovering inspiration. Every street, every conversation, every little moment is an opportunity to be moved, to learn, to be inspired. And that's exactly what Prague did for me. This city's enchanting charm and captivating ballet scene has fuelled my love for all things elegant, all things chic, all things ballet!

As I continue to explore this vibrant city, I can't wait to share more of its beauty and inspiration with you! Stay tuned for next week's blog post as I dive deeper into Prague's hidden gems, delectable cuisine, and fascinating history. But before I sign off, I just had to leave you with a little snippet of advice that this little pink tutu enthusiast learned this week: life is too short to be anything but joyful.
