Hello my darlings, and welcome back to Pink Tutu Prague, the blog that's bringing the pink tutu revolution to the world, one ballet-filled adventure at a time! This week, we're waltzing our way through the cobbled streets of Prague, the "City of a Hundred Spires," and let me tell you, this beautiful city is a true dream for a pink tutu-loving ballerina like myself!
Now, you know I love nothing more than getting my tutu-clad feet on a train and exploring a new city. This week's journey took me to the heart of Prague, where I swapped my Derbyshire green fields for the magical atmosphere of the city's ancient streets. This trip is all about experiencing the beauty of ballet here in the Czech Republic, indulging in Prague's iconic fashion, and, of course, spreading the pink tutu gospel.
But before we dive into Prague's wonders, let me tell you a little secret... this isn't my first rodeo with the Czech Republic! As a lover of all things ballet, I knew that I had to visit Prague to experience the ballet heritage of the city, which boasts the oldest ballet school in Europe, founded in 1787! I'm already imagining myself twirling through the hallowed halls of the Taneční Konzervatoř, a vision in my trusty pink tutu.
The Arrival in Prague
Let's talk arrival, shall we? I know my blog is full of dreamy photos and fashion tips, but this travel-loving ballerina knows the journey is just as important as the destination. This time, instead of my usual train journeys, I took a little detour by horse. I'm talking about a stunning pony called Chestnut, whom I befriended while enjoying a picturesque ride through the countryside. And you guessed it, I was sporting a magnificent pink tutu! We looked like we were straight out of a fairytale, a perfect combination of girly charm and a touch of rustic whimsy!
After my delightful journey, I landed in Prague, where I was met with the sights and sounds of a truly captivating city. The air hummed with the echoes of history and culture, the old city streets beckoned me with their quaint charm, and I was immediately smitten!
Prague: A City Steeped in Beauty
Prague is a city that takes your breath away. I am a hopeless romantic and find something alluring about its fairytale aesthetic. Imagine walking along cobblestone paths with golden sunlight filtering through ornate towers, the sounds of a charming street musician adding a magical touch. Just picture me in my perfect pink tutu, twirling under these magical arches! Prague, for me, is the embodiment of whimsical beauty, and the pink tutu, my constant companion, simply belongs here!
Speaking of the pink tutu, it wasn't just me twirling around Prague's picturesque locations! Everywhere I went, I saw flashes of pink – pink flowers, pink candies, pink cafes. Prague embraced my favourite colour, proving that it's not just a personal passion but a universal language of beauty and joy. It's as if the city itself is giving a nod to the pink tutu revolution.
Pink Tutu in Prague: Exploring Fashion
For a fashion-loving ballerina, Prague is a veritable treasure trove of style! I can't resist browsing the city's boutique stores, overflowing with exquisite designs and exquisite craftsmanship. This week, I treated myself to a beautiful pearl necklace and a new ballet bag – a blush pink masterpiece with delicate ballet shoe embroidery. This new addition to my collection, oh, I am smitten!
Speaking of ballet bags, I must confess – they're not just for ballet shoes! For a ballerina on the go like me, a ballet bag is a versatile accessory, stylish enough for an evening outing yet functional for packing all my ballerina essentials. My trusty bag keeps all my ballet shoes, leotards, and accessories safely and elegantly tucked away, ready for the next dance step.
Of course, every great fashionista knows the secret lies in finding unique pieces. I fell head over heels for a vintage Prague shop tucked away on a side street. The owner was as fascinating as his selection of vintage finds - a man who spoke the language of elegance and history. There, amidst a labyrinth of delicate lace, silken scarves, and stylish hats, I discovered a stunning pink velvet scarf, the perfect statement piece to adorn my pink tutu outfits. My outfit in Prague was a dreamy pastel palette - blush pink tutu, velvet scarf, a vintage lace blouse, and my trusty ballet flats!
Prague's Ballet Legacy
Being in Prague has ignited my ballet history enthusiasm. This city breathes and breathes again with its ballet legacy. For any ballerina who loves ballet history, a trip to the National Theatre, Prague’s pride and joy, is an absolute must! Constructed in the 19th century, this grand edifice stands as a testament to the city’s love for the arts. It's an architectural masterpiece and the embodiment of classic Prague style, perfect for showcasing some of the most dazzling ballet productions in Europe.
Imagine my joy when I learned about the iconic Czech ballerina Anna Pavlova, who graced the stages of the world with her artistry, leaving an indelible mark on the world of ballet. I feel a powerful connection with her spirit, her elegance, her artistry. She embodies the graceful strength I hope to channel in my own tutu performances.
Speaking of performance, today I am attending a captivating performance at the National Theatre! I just finished getting ready for this event and let me tell you - my look is absolutely "Tutu fabulous." I’ve adorned myself with my prettiest pink tutu, a sparkling necklace, and a pair of pearl earrings to add a touch of magic. My heart is filled with anticipation, and I know tonight will be a dazzling celebration of ballet. I'm already visualizing myself in the heart of the theatre, twirling to the enchanting rhythm of classical music. It is the heart of ballet in Prague, a place I felt compelled to visit.
This trip is more than just seeing amazing ballet productions, though - it's about exploring the history of the dance and its unique expression here. The streets themselves feel like a ballet in their winding paths, elegant architecture, and hidden courtyard treasures. I feel myself inspired, wanting to find out more about ballet's development in Prague.
The Tutu Revolution Continues
My journey through Prague has truly been magical, a kaleidoscope of beautiful sights, incredible culture, and a love of the ballet arts that runs deep within me. However, what really sets this adventure apart is the overwhelming positivity and openness of this city to embrace the pink tutu spirit! As I twirled my way through the ancient cobbled streets, I saw smiles everywhere, locals encouraging my journey of bringing ballet and pink tutus into the spotlight. Prague embraces the unexpected, celebrating creativity and artistic expressions. This spirit perfectly resonates with my desire to inspire everyone to embrace the joy of ballet and the fun of a good pink tutu!
My mission? To continue my pink tutu crusade. As a dancer at heart, I aim to spread joy and wonder everywhere I go. I truly believe everyone has the ability to express themselves through ballet, through creative movement, and I want everyone to feel empowered to wear their own “pink tutus,” be that literally or figuratively, to express their passions. And this journey through Prague is just one step on a long path to making that vision a reality.
So join me on this pink tutu revolution, dear reader! Follow my journey on www.pink-tutu.com as I continue to explore the world, bringing the pink tutu magic to every corner. And remember, you don't have to be a ballerina to wear a pink tutu; you simply have to embrace the joy of expression and creativity!

Until next week, may your lives be filled with pink tutus and a twinkle in your eye!
