#PinkTutuPrague Ballet in Prague 2021-08-18

Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink-tutu-clad blogger, Emma, back with another adventure! This week I've jetted off to the beautiful city of Prague, and let me tell you, it's been a complete dream! Think cobblestone streets, fairytale castles, and enough stunning architecture to make your head spin!

Of course, a trip to Prague wouldn't be complete without indulging in my two favourite pastimes - ballet and fashion! It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another post on my blog, www.pink-tutu.com. So, let's dive in!

After a rather delightful journey via a charming red-velvet carriage, er, I mean, train journey, I arrived in Prague, all flustered but ready for an adventure. I admit, there were some raised eyebrows and whispers as I navigated the cobblestones in my trusty pink tutu. I must say, Prague is such a friendly and welcoming city; even the occasional curious glance was met with a warm smile!

As I strolled through the city, I couldn't help but notice the sheer abundance of enchanting boutiques. I immediately indulged in a spot of window shopping - it was hard to resist the vintage elegance and delicate craftsmanship of Prague's charming shops. And of course, I had to pick up a few key pieces for my Prague wardrobe! A billowing lavender dress for a romantic evening stroll? Check! A chic vintage pink cardigan to keep me warm on chilly evenings? Tick! And a new pair of ballet flats with pearl accents? Oh, absolutely!

The real highlight of my Prague adventure, however, was attending a performance at the National Theatre. The building itself is a breathtaking masterpiece, with its intricate facade and grand staircase leading to the theatre. Once inside, the plush red velvet seats and elegant decor created the perfect setting for a night of enchantment.

This week's ballet, Giselle, transported me to a magical world of love, sorrow, and haunting beauty. The performance was breathtaking, with each dancer effortlessly weaving a tapestry of emotion through their exquisite movements.

Oh, and the costumes! Talk about sheer inspiration! I loved the delicate tutus with layers of tulle, and the graceful flowing dresses, all meticulously crafted with intricate embroidery. I took plenty of photos to use as inspiration for future pink tutu designs.

The highlight of the performance, for me, was the pas de deux between the ballerina and her partner. It was simply spellbinding, their movements perfectly entwined as they danced with passion and elegance. And can we talk about the ballerina's graceful extension, the perfect point of her feet? I literally gasped with delight. The stage seemed to vanish, leaving me entirely immersed in their magical world.

And guess what else? While exploring the streets of Prague, I discovered a tiny hidden cafe nestled amidst the vibrant streets. Its decor was inspired by a Parisian cafe, with antique mirrors, comfy armchairs, and even a cute pink bicycle with a basket of freshly baked pastries. It felt like stepping out of a romantic film!

I couldn't resist indulging in a decadent slice of Sachertorte, washed down with a strong, fragrant cup of espresso. As I savored each delicious bite, I knew that this was one of those magical moments that would stay with me forever.

Of course, no trip is complete without some ballet practice. Luckily, Prague is bursting with dance studios and ballet classes! So I enrolled in a local class, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight!

I was met with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The teacher was incredibly passionate and her love for ballet was contagious. We worked on elegant barre exercises, flowing adagio movements, and of course, a few exciting jumps and turns! Even with my ballerina bun, pink tutu, and matching pink pointe shoes, I felt a sense of belonging and camaraderie among the other dancers.

After a satisfying stretch and a chat about our favourite ballerinas, I left the class feeling inspired and revitalised. There's something truly special about sharing a passion for ballet with others, and this class reminded me of the wonderful community that dance offers.

While wandering around the historic Old Town Square, I stumbled upon the most charming little boutique selling all things pink. Imagine, pink tutus galore! My inner child squealed with delight as I examined each delicate garment.

But wait, there was even more! I also found vintage pink handbags, sparkly pink shoes, and even a delightful little pink hat trimmed with silk roses! And, I was completely charmed by their selection of delicate pink ribbon, perfect for adorning my own pink tutus. This little boutique was a dream come true!

I managed to resist buying every single pink item, although it was quite a challenge! However, I couldn't resist a new vintage pink handbag and a delicate pink silk scarf that smelled faintly of jasmine. A perfect reminder of my magical trip to Prague!

Speaking of sharing the pink tutu love, I just have to tell you about my latest adventure: spreading the joy of the pink tutu across the streets of Prague! I took to the city, not just as a tourist, but as a pink tutu ambassador, inspiring people to embrace the magic of colour and fun.

The locals loved it! Their smiles were so contagious and so much joy could be felt. One charming lady even joined me for a dance, twirling around the cobblestones in her polka dot dress! It was absolutely adorable! And you know what? She promised me that she would even try a pink tutu next time. I couldn't be happier to be spreading the pink tutu magic!

The week flew by in a blur of ballet performances, cobblestone strolls, and delightful discoveries. I leave Prague feeling utterly inspired and charmed, filled with memories I'll cherish forever. I even snagged some delightful ballet-themed souvenirs, a tiny pink ballet figurine for my bookshelf and a lovely hand-painted miniature box containing ballet shoes!

One thing's for sure - Prague will forever hold a special place in my ballet-loving heart. But don't worry, darling, my next stop is the enchanting city of Vienna. I hear they have incredible opera performances, fabulous fashion boutiques, and perhaps, just maybe, some stunning pink tutus. Stay tuned!

And until next week, remember to always wear your heart on your sleeve (or, in my case, a pink tutu!), and spread the joy of ballet, colour, and fashion wherever you go!

Lots of love, Emma www.pink-tutu.com
