#TutuBlog #219
Oh, hello lovelies! It's Emma here, ready to whisk you away to the beautiful seaside town of Dover. I just can't help but squeal with delight - this little gem of a town feels like a scene straight out of a fairytale, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Pink, fluffy clouds, the wind in my hair, the smell of the sea air… It just doesn't get much more whimsical than this!
Speaking of whimsical, I couldn't possibly have ventured out to explore this stunning coastal beauty without a truly spectacular tutu. This time, it's all about my darling "Fairy Flight" tutu. I found it at a lovely vintage boutique in the heart of Derby, just a hop, skip, and a jump from my little flat in the picturesque county of Derbyshire. It's a breathtaking symphony of ethereal colours – the softest shades of lavender and blush pink with just a touch of sparkly gold - perfect for twirling under the white cliffs and catching the sea breeze!
So how did I get to this wonderful wonderland, you ask? Well, why hop on a cramped plane when you can enjoy the leisurely delights of train travel? A train journey, with its romantic clinking of tracks, the whiffs of hot chocolate from the refreshment trolley, and the view flashing by, is truly the most civilised way to travel. I have to confess I am absolutely head over heels for train journeys, especially when I'm off on an adventure to a new town. This one, to Dover, felt especially enchanting – like a storybook coming to life with every chugging engine and rolling countryside.
Reaching Dover was pure magic, almost like being transported to a different world. My heart did a little leap at the sight of those majestic white cliffs rising from the sea, standing tall like protectors of this seaside beauty. Of course, the first thing I did was find the perfect spot to twirl! The seafront was absolutely bursting with sunshine, and I was able to capture a stunning shot with those majestic white cliffs as my backdrop. If only my Tutugram followers could have been there to experience this moment of pure joy!
My journey through Dover was a perfect blend of fairytale and modern-day delights. I ventured into charming cobbled streets, lined with cute cafes and artisan shops. Each turn held a surprise – from handcrafted pottery to a breathtaking floral arrangement that reminded me of a ballerina's costume. Every corner of Dover just seemed to echo the same sentiment: embrace the magic of everyday life.
Of course, no trip to Dover would be complete without a trip to Dover Castle! The majestic, historical castle perched on the highest point of the town, looked down at the quaint streets like a grand old protector. There’s something incredibly romantic and powerful about history, especially when it whispers to you through the creaky stones and grand arches of a majestic castle. And even a grand old castle seemed to come to life with the magic of my "Fairy Flight" tutu.
You know me - always looking for the next dance-inspired adventure. After a delicious lunch, consisting of fish and chips and a cheeky cream tea (I just couldn’t resist!), I discovered a delightful dance studio called “Dover Dreams”. This charming little place seemed to be the heartbeat of the local ballet scene, welcoming both professional dancers and absolute beginners with open arms. Their enthusiasm was contagious and made me want to twirl and leap right then and there.
My visit to "Dover Dreams" reminded me once again that dance transcends boundaries. Whether you're a seasoned dancer, a complete beginner or simply a lover of the graceful art of movement, there's a place for you in the world of dance.
Now, if there's one thing I learned on this trip, it's this: the real magic of travel lies not just in the places you visit, but in the moments you experience. Those magical moments come from exploring new landscapes, making new connections, and embracing the beauty that surrounds us, tutu or no tutu!
The memory of Dover - the sea breeze on my skin, the warmth of the sunshine, and the pure joy of dancing – will forever remain etched in my heart, as colourful and enchanting as my darling "Fairy Flight" tutu.
Now, my lovelies, let me ask you this: Have you ever experienced the magic of Dover? I'd love to hear about your travels! Do you share a passion for dance and tutus like me?

With love and twirls,
