Hello, my darlings! It's Emma here, and welcome to another installment of your favourite pink-tutu-fied blog! Today's post marks an exciting milestone – post number 800! 🍾 Can you believe it? I feel so lucky to be sharing my passion for pink, tutus, and ballet with you all.
Now, as you know, I love a good adventure, and this week I'm off to Basildon! Yes, you heard that right. Not your usual "ballerina destination" (I'm sure many of you are thinking!), but you know me – always looking for a new adventure, a new venue to spread the joy of tutu-wearing and ballet-loving!
I'm travelling by train, of course! What better way to journey through the English countryside than perched on a plush seat, gazing out the window at rolling hills and sleepy villages? It truly gives me time to relax and reflect on the wonderful world of dance. I always have my trusty ballet bag with me, packed with my favourite ballet shoes (currently my pretty pink satin ones – I can't get enough pink!), a book about pointe work, and a selection of inspiring music.
Of course, I'm wearing a tutu – it wouldn't be a proper Emma adventure otherwise! This time, it's a delightful little pink tutu adorned with shimmering sequins. I think it rather suits the occasion, don't you? I might even be tempted to pop on my fluffy pink boa for some extra oomph. (Don't judge me! Pink and fluff just go together, darlings.)
And speaking of fluff, guess who spotted a cheeky little squirrel scampering through the woods near my train station this morning? He looked right at me, as if to say "Hey there, fellow adventurer, whatcha got in your bag?" I swear he was wearing a mini-tutu himself, hidden amongst the branches.
Anyway, I've got a wonderful weekend of ballet-filled activities ahead of me in Basildon. Tonight I'm attending a fabulous ballet show by the Basildon Ballet Company – I'm so excited to see their take on Swan Lake! They're known for their modern interpretations, so it's sure to be a treat. And, of course, I'll be keeping my eye out for some inspiring dance moves and fabulous tutus to share with you.
Tomorrow morning, I'm trying a beginner's ballet class at a local dance studio. You know I love to experiment and learn, even if it's a step back to the basics! After all, everyone deserves to feel the magic of ballet, regardless of their level. Who knows, I might even recruit a few new tutu-wearers while I'm there!
Then, to round off the weekend, I'll be checking out a fantastic ballet street performance organised by a group of local dance enthusiasts. I love seeing the energy of ballet taken outside of the theatre, and into the heart of the community. I have a feeling it's going to be a riot of colour, movement, and joy, just like all my favourite tutu-filled adventures.
And speaking of colour, my darlings, don't forget the main aim: to inspire everyone to wear pink, dance, and live their lives in a tutu-fied whirlwind! It's not just about fashion, although that's certainly a large part of it. It's about embracing joy, individuality, and the pure delight of movement. So, don't be afraid to break out that pink tutu (or any colour you feel bold in!) and spin, twirl, and sashay your way to happiness!
Until next time, my dearest tutu-lovers! Remember to keep it pink and keep it twirling.
XOXO, Emma
