Bonjour, darling readers!
It's Emma here, back with another post from my latest ballet adventure – Prague! This charming city, steeped in history and culture, is a total dream for any tutu-loving gal like me. It’s a vibrant city bursting with colour, especially pink! Just perfect for this little ballerina's whims!
This week, I arrived in Prague by train – what a delightful journey! The landscape whizzed past, like a montage of postcard scenes, leaving me breathless with anticipation for this new ballet-filled escapade. The moment I stepped off the train, the air hummed with a bohemian charm. I was captivated!
Now, you know I'm all about finding the perfect tutu, and Prague didn’t disappoint. Let's be honest, my darling readers, the perfect tutu is more than just a costume. It's a statement! It's about grace, poise, and of course, a sprinkle of fairytale magic.
My first stop was the beautiful Old Town Square – an open-air stage where history comes alive! You can feel the echoes of past ballets, imagine waltzing couples in velvet gowns, and the hushed anticipation of the audience. The architecture itself, with its elegant spires and fairytale turrets, practically demands a twirl or two.
But let's be honest, a ballet-themed adventure wouldn’t be complete without a dose of ballet history. My heart skipped a beat when I visited the National Theatre. It's a majestic building with a history that’s just as dramatic as the shows performed within its walls. Just stepping into the lobby, you're transported back in time. It's no wonder this building is considered one of Prague's greatest cultural treasures!
Naturally, a trip to Prague wouldn't be complete without visiting the enchanting Prague Castle, a veritable fairytale palace on a hill. I was like a giddy princess stepping out of a fairytale, ready to conquer the cobbled streets and the castle’s secrets. I could practically imagine princesses gliding across the halls in their shimmering tulle skirts – a ballet dancer's dream, indeed!
But Prague isn't just about the historic side. It’s about embracing life with open arms and twirling in the face of adventure. So, my dears, you know I had to try some local specialties. Did you know that Prague is famous for its dumplings? Who would have thought a little dough ball could be so delectable? They were surprisingly satisfying! (And even more perfect after a full day of tutuing, of course.)
Of course, a true pink tutu blogger can't neglect the fashion scene. Let me tell you, Prague is a fashion paradise. My darlings, there are so many gorgeous shops crammed into every charming little alleyway, each one brimming with bohemian chic and exquisite treasures!
I even managed to snag a beautiful vintage pink top for my collection - the colour was like a sunset after a ballet show, full of warmth and romance. The shop owner, an artistic soul with a passion for the finer things in life, helped me select the perfect blush pink satin ribbon to accent my latest tutu.
But as every true ballet devotee knows, the best part of any trip is always the performance. Tonight, I'm heading to the National Theatre for a special showing of Swan Lake! Can you believe it, my darlings? Swan Lake, in this city of magical charm, where ballet itself feels alive! It’s going to be pure enchantment. I can't wait to lose myself in the graceful movements, the soaring melodies, and the timeless story.
And don’t worry, I’ll be sure to share all the pink-tutu-tastic details next week – from the shimmering costumes to the captivating choreography.
Until then, may your week be filled with grace and a dash of pink tutu magic!
XOXO, Emma
