Hello lovelies!
It's Emma here, your favourite pink-tutu-clad ballerina, reporting live from the beautiful seaside town of Weston-super-Mare! This gorgeous town in Somerset is simply brimming with charm, and as you know, I love nothing more than exploring new places in style. This trip has been extra special because I got to don my newest addition to my tutu collection: a vibrant yellow tutu! It’s all about embracing colour and standing out, darling.
My journey here was just as delightful as the destination itself. I took the train, of course! There's just something so romantic about the chugging rhythm of the rails and the feeling of the wind in your hair. It's a little piece of magic that allows you to escape and immerse yourself in the journey, just like ballet does.
Once I arrived in Weston, I knew I had to find the perfect place for a picture-perfect photoshoot. You simply can't have a seaside adventure without capturing those iconic moments! So, I found myself on the pier, feeling the cool breeze off the sea and the sand between my toes, the sun reflecting off the yellow tutu. It was like a scene from a vintage movie - just missing the dashing gentleman! (Sigh... wishful thinking.)
After my impromptu photoshoot, I discovered a beautiful park that seemed to come straight out of a storybook. Sunlit pathways edged with flowers, birdsong filling the air - it was absolutely idyllic! And, of course, I took the opportunity for some graceful twirls and pirouettes, just to give the park's feathered inhabitants a show!
For dinner, I decided to treat myself to a delicious meal by the sea. The sun was dipping below the horizon, turning the sky into a beautiful canvas of pink and orange. The delicious aroma of seafood, the soft lapping of waves, the soft piano music playing in the restaurant – it was truly enchanting!
But my adventure in Weston wasn't all about seaside bliss. This town boasts a thriving artistic community. I discovered a local ballet school and simply had to peek inside. There was a class going on, and watching the graceful young dancers made me feel so proud of my journey and happy to be a part of this world! It reminded me that ballet isn't just about elegance and precision; it's also about passion and dedication, something that I think everyone should experience.
Later that evening, I stumbled upon a charming little theater hosting a performance of "The Nutcracker." My heart skipped a beat - "The Nutcracker" is one of my favourite ballets, and to see it in a setting like this felt so special. It reminded me of the magic of ballet – its ability to transport you to a world of fantasy and dreams.
One thing I love about travelling is encountering amazing wildlife. Weston-super-Mare has been kind to me in that regard! I saw a beautiful grey heron stalking prey by the river, and a playful seal bobbing in the water at the harbour. Seeing these creatures in their natural habitat reminds us that we need to be better guardians of the earth – just as dancers need to care for their bodies.
This trip has been such a joy. I’m now a little obsessed with Weston! Its charm, beauty, and friendly people have won my heart.
Now, before I sign off, I want to ask you all a question:
What is your favourite type of ballet performance? Classical, street, theatre… Tell me in the comments! I’m dying to hear what gets you moving and feeling like your best ballerina self!
Until next time,
Emma xoxo
