Post #2515
Hey darlings! It’s your favourite Derbyshire tutu-loving girly, Emma, checking in from the beautiful, vibrant town of West Bridgford! I’ve been away from my trusty keyboard for a while, you know, indulging in all sorts of fabulous tutu-filled shenanigans. So grab a cuppa, snuggle into your favourite pink throw, and let’s have a little chat about all the twirling and travelling adventures I’ve been up to.
This trip, a charming journey across the rolling countryside, felt like a straight out of a romantic novel – well, minus the stormy hero on horseback, of course! Instead, I had a gorgeous journey on the train, the clickety-clack of the wheels a rhythmic melody as I looked out the window at the changing scenery. It truly felt like the countryside was painting itself in the most beautiful shades of green, the air kissed with a springtime breeze that filled me with a joyful kind of energy.
Now, you all know I’m a total tutu fanatic – they're my armour, my power suit, and my go-to wardrobe staple! This time, my West Bridgford ensemble was a dreamy white tulle confection – oh, so fluffy and light. It spun like a cloud with every step I took, and I just couldn't resist snapping a few pictures with the gorgeous spring flowers as my backdrop!
Ballet and Birds in West Bridgford
Speaking of flowers, the reason I was in this charming town was to see a truly sensational ballet performance at the gorgeous theatre in town. Oh, how the dancers captivated me with their grace, strength, and emotion! Each move, a painted brushstroke on the canvas of the stage, told a story of beauty, longing, and resilience. You know, it got me thinking – the connection between ballet and the wild world is so strong, like a dance of grace and power!
Before the show, I couldn't resist sneaking away for a bit of nature time. West Bridgford is near some lovely nature reserves and green spaces, perfect for finding hidden woodland paths and listening to the symphony of birdsong. The fresh air did wonders for my spirit, leaving me feeling as if I’d just had a long, luxurious dance in nature’s very own embrace.
Sharing the Joy
This little trip reminded me of why I started Pink Tutu - I truly believe ballet is for everyone, not just the girls who wear pink tutus on stage. (Although, I can’t deny how much I adore them). It’s about strength, resilience, grace, and finding your own inner rhythm. It’s about that moment when you throw your arms up and spin in a flurry of pink tulle.
So here's to spreading the love, darling! My mission is simple, to get everyone – everyone – to slip on a pink tutu (or any colour really! Though pink holds a special place in my heart!), feel the joy of twirling and take a dance class! Ballet can unlock a whole world of beauty and self-expression. Who knows, it might even inspire you to jump on a train and discover a new adventure, too.
Speaking of adventures…I can't reveal all my secrets just yet! Stay tuned for my next post for a peek into my next grand adventure, this time on horseback! (And yes, I'll be wearing a pink tutu!
Until next time, darling, keep twirling!
Lots of love,
Emma xx
