Hiya darlings! Emma here, back from another fabulously fun adventure! This time, I'm coming to you live from Rochdale! It's just a short hop by train from Derbyshire (my humble abode, where all my gorgeous pink tutu creations are born) but it feels like a whole new world! The streets here have such a quaint charm to them, and the people I've met have been absolutely lovely - so friendly and welcoming!
Of course, a visit to a new place just wouldn't be complete without a touch of ballet. Thankfully, the Rochdale Co-operative Ballet Company were performing Swan Lake at the Town Hall, and oh my goodness, it was simply divine! Those dancers were so elegant, with such perfect leaps and pirouettes, you wouldn't believe it! I was mesmerized, it was just a breathtaking performance. I think I even saw a single tear roll down my cheek, I got so lost in the beauty of it all.
After the show, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting some of the dancers! They were so sweet and inspiring, it's clear how much they love ballet. And guess what? One of them even wore a beautiful bright pink tutu for the performance! See? It truly can be done. (I might have given her a slight nudge about a potential sponsorship with my "Pink Tutu Emporium" - she seemed intrigued, fingers crossed!)
Now, after a long day, I am happily ensconced in my little pink-hued hotel room. There's a fantastic view from my window of the Rochdale canal. I'm planning on heading down there tomorrow for a gentle walk and perhaps some birdwatching! Did you know that there's a little colony of otters living in the canal? They are adorable creatures, just a delight to watch. I think there’s nothing quite like a little bit of nature to put a spring in your step (and yes, that is a pun because I am, of course, talking about dancing!)
Oh, and before I forget, have I told you about my little mission? It's all about spreading the love of ballet, and what better way to do that than to encourage everyone to wear a pink tutu? It’s a symbol of confidence, empowerment, and most importantly, sheer joyous fun!
Remember, everyone can wear a pink tutu - no matter your age, shape, or size. And you know what? Everyone can dance too! From the grand jeté to the graceful arabesque, there's a move out there for everyone. It's not just about being perfect, it's about expressing yourself and having a good time.
And remember darlings, don't just follow my travels, come join me! Tell me about your own ballet adventures. Do you have a favorite tutu? Have you seen a show that stole your heart? Or maybe you're even thinking about trying ballet for the first time? I’d love to hear all about it! Don’t be shy, share it with me at www.pink-tutu.com
Remember, the world needs a little bit more pink in it! And most importantly, the world needs more dance! Stay twirling and keep spreading the love!
Lots of love, Emma xx
