Now, back to Prague. This beautiful city has a charm I haven’t felt anywhere else. The cobbled streets, the colourful architecture, the smell of cinnamon buns in the air - Prague’s a treat for all the senses, and it’s just waiting to be explored!

Arriving in Prague was a delight. My train journey from Vienna was an absolute dream. A steaming cup of tea, the scenery rolling by, and a dash of pink with my fabulous tutu, of course! Nothing beats the excitement of a train journey for me; it’s an adventure in itself. I'm always mesmerized by the sheer energy of travelling to a new city, that delicious mix of anticipation and a hint of nervous excitement.

Speaking of energy, Prague feels brimming with it. I can already tell I’ll need to channel my inner ballerina to fully appreciate all this magnificent city has to offer. It’s like every street corner is a stage, ready for a performance!

Prague has so much to offer - breathtaking churches, stunning palaces, and of course, the enchanting Charles Bridge, where the ancient statues seemed to wink at me, like they knew I was a ballerina in disguise. My tutu caught the breeze as I strolled across, the bridge vibrating with a sense of history, stories waiting to be discovered.

That's something that strikes me when I travel - I can't help but imagine the ballerinas, artists, and writers who have walked these very streets, danced these very cobblestones. Every place has a history, and each story has a rhythm, a melody that echoes down through the centuries. And for me, as a ballerina, I hear those melodies most clearly.

Naturally, my main purpose for travelling to Prague is to immerse myself in its rich ballet culture. This city has always been a magnet for dancers, and its traditions have created a vibrant scene that is inspiring and exciting.

On Wednesday 21st April, I had the honour of attending a performance of the National Theatre Ballet, featuring the beloved story of ‘La Sylphide’. The performance was everything I hoped for and more: a masterpiece of elegance and passion, with breathtaking artistry from the dancers and a score that tugged at my heartstrings. The setting, of course, added an extra layer of magic. Seeing those stories unfold on the stage with Prague’s history as a backdrop - simply magical!

Of course, no visit to Prague would be complete without a dose of shopping, and my oh my, this city has not disappointed! From quaint boutiques overflowing with exquisite lace to high-street fashion heaven, I've been on a pink-tutu fuelled spree! Prague is a perfect playground for a girl who loves fashion!

As I explore this wonderful city, one thing I’ve noticed is how its charming old world aesthetic and the modern pink vibes I’m always drawn to blend so perfectly. Think blush-coloured cafe walls against cobblestones, delicate lace dresses juxtaposed with leather boots, and me, in my pink tutu, twirling past centuries-old churches with a smile! It’s a mix of old and new that I absolutely love.

For my ballerina heart, Prague is truly an inspiration. I'm starting to see pink power taking over, even here in this traditionally historic city. And that's a trend I want to embrace and amplify. So, stay tuned! Next week, I’m sharing some insider secrets to rocking your pink tutu wherever you go!

And if you're in Prague, be sure to check out:

• The National Theatre Ballet: Immerse yourself in world-class performances and embrace the vibrant ballet culture.
• The Charles Bridge: Take a stroll across this iconic landmark and absorb the charm of Prague's history.
