Post #413
Hello lovelies! It's Emma, your tutu-loving, ballet-obsessed, pink-a-holic blogger, reporting live from the sunny shores of Surbiton! I'm a Derbyshire girl at heart, but lately I've been galloping across the country, spreading the joy of dance and dazzling in my pink tutus. This week, it was the charm of Surbiton that called my name.
A Ballet Bliss in Surbiton
I arrived in Surbiton on the morning train, the crisp air making me feel alive and ready for the day ahead. You know, a change is as good as a holiday, and this Surbiton trip is all about taking a break from my usual routine, even if it's only for a few hours. The first thing I did was visit the Surbiton Ballet Studio - it's hidden away in a quaint, cobblestone street. I could hear the enchanting sound of ballet music floating from the open window before I even stepped inside!
Walking into the studio, it was a whole different world. The aroma of polished wooden floors and that special blend of sweat and artistry that only ballet studios have made me feel instantly at home. The graceful dance poses drawn on the mirrored wall and the elegant ballerinas warming up their muscles got me excited for my own pirouette!
Of course, I couldn't resist donning my signature pink tutu for my lesson, because let's face it, you can never go wrong with a little sparkle. The instructor, Ms. Belle, a petite woman with fiery red hair, welcomed me warmly. I was in a class filled with students of all ages, each one sharing the same passion for dance. Ms. Belle pushed us to our limits, but also created such a lovely atmosphere - like a little pink tutu family.
Surbiton - More than Ballet
The evening found me exploring Surbiton's delightful cafes and antique shops, with my favourite pink ballet bag slung across my shoulder. It was just magical strolling through the pretty little shops, all the pastel colours and delicate trinkets seemed to fit the perfect 'pink tutu' aesthetic!
Later, I decided to try out the nearby horse riding stable. You might be thinking, “Emma, horses and ballet?!” But, trust me, it's the perfect mix! It’s so calming to connect with the powerful grace of these amazing animals. They, just like ballerinas, embody beauty and strength. After an amazing gallop, my muscles were buzzing!
Sharing the Pink Tutu Joy
You guys know I'm all about sharing the joy of ballet, pink, and pretty much everything else with the world. So I've decided to turn my Surbiton adventures into a “Pink Tutu Challenge.” I encourage everyone to share photos of themselves sporting a pink tutu on their social media, and why they love ballet (even if you only just tried it!). Maybe we can create a pink tutu explosion! Just remember to use #PinkTutuChallenge and tag my blog, www.pink-tutu.com, to join in on the fun.
What's Next?
My little pink ballerina heart is always ready for adventure, and my next stop is Bristol! I’ve heard the Bristol ballet scene is thriving and there are some incredible performances lined up. But hey, even in the middle of a vibrant ballet adventure, a girl needs her pink tutu and her dose of nature.
Until next time lovelies, keep on dancing and always remember, you can never be too pink or too passionate about ballet. It's a truly transformative journey that’s always worth exploring. And don't forget to spread the joy of pink and dance with everyone you meet!
Lots of love,
Emma
