Hey loves! It's your girl Emma, signing in live from sunny Stockport! Yes, you heard me right. Stockport, the jewel of Cheshire (if you ask me, Derbyshire's best kept secret). 🤫
I know, I know. Some of you may think I'm a little bonkers, taking a little trip to Stockport, of all places! But let me tell you, this place is full of charm and, more importantly, is within easy reach by train, which, you all know, is my preferred mode of travel (next to, of course, a handsome steed! 🐎) I mean, who wouldn't want to journey through the English countryside, enjoying a cuppa and a cheeky little scone while watching the world whiz by? ☕️🍰
Anyway, I digress. So why Stockport, you ask? Well, this delightful little town was chosen as the backdrop for a fabulous ballet performance that I just couldn't miss. And guess what? It was, as always, a fantastic experience. You just can't beat a good ballet performance, right? It's so magical, it's practically a fairytale coming to life.
But before I talk about the performance, I must tell you about the absolute showstopper I was rocking for the day! It was the most amazing pink tutu I've ever seen! My best friend, Olivia, got it for me from a vintage shop she found on our travels through Derbyshire. 💃 It had the most beautiful ruffled layers, sparkling with shimmering beads that looked like tiny little diamonds in the sunshine. Plus, it had a fantastic swish to it that made me feel like a real ballerina twirling through a field of dreams. (It was almost like the twirls from those fairytale books!) ✨
This tutu really did put me in a very good mood for the day. The kind of mood that could make even the greyest of skies look sunshiney and sparkly. 😉
We got to the venue early, which was a lovely, old theatre with ornate chandeliers and plush velvet seats. As we walked up to the front entrance, Olivia couldn't help but snap a picture of me. We knew those photos were going straight on www.pink-tutu.com! 📸 We were such a dream team. Even better, the performance started with the music rising to a crescendo, leaving me absolutely buzzing. You could feel the electricity in the air, like a palpable sense of excitement mixed with magic. The ballerinas were incredible, leaping and swirling with such grace, their movements seemed effortless and elegant.
I swear, it almost felt as if they were gliding through the air, like angels dancing on clouds! They were such fantastic inspirations. And, let me tell you, this ballet wasn't your typical, stiff and formal classical performance. This one had some fabulous choreography that incorporated modern dance, ballet street and a few twists I’d never seen before, a delightful mix that was so incredibly invigorating.
And oh my, the story! The story of two rival dance troupes (or maybe they were not rival after all…?) It made me want to just jump onto the stage and dance with them. I found myself wanting to create my own ballet routines - after all, why should only the professionals have all the fun? 😄 I think maybe we should put on a little show ourselves - it would be a lot of fun! I mean, who wouldn't want to dance around in a beautiful pink tutu while they watch an incredible story unfold before their very eyes? 💖
After the performance, I felt absolutely fantastic. Inspired, energized, and full of pink-tutu-powered glee. We took a lovely walk through the town square. Even Stockport has its own little corner of charm with quirky shops, little cafes, and cute, brightly coloured houses. And you know, the wildlife was a fantastic treat - a cheeky robin perched on a lamppost, watching us with beady little eyes, while squirrels frolicked in the trees like they owned the place! 🐿️🐦
Before our train journey back, Olivia insisted on finding us a little, hidden cafe, just the two of us. A delicious coffee and a sweet treat topped off a magical day.
Stockport - I'm definitely putting you on my map for a future visit. Who knows, maybe you'll even host the world’s largest gathering of women in pink tutus (because I think we should start planning something of that scale!) The pink tutu trend has started… now everyone just needs to jump on board. 😊
Until next time, darling!
Keep twirling,
Emma 💖
