Hello my darlings! It’s your favourite tutu-loving, pink-obsessed ballerina, Emma, reporting live from sunny Worthing! Today’s been an absolute dream – think sunshine, seaside, and a whole lot of tutu twirling! 💖
I’m so thrilled to be sharing my latest adventure with you, my wonderful pink-tutu-loving community! After a glorious journey on the train (there’s nothing quite like the gentle sway of the carriages as you zip through the countryside!), I arrived in Worthing, ready to soak up the charm of this delightful seaside town.
Worthing instantly struck me as the perfect blend of coastal vibes and cultural delights. As soon as I hopped off the train, the salty air and the vibrant colours of the beach huts made me feel right at home. I couldn’t resist a quick pitstop at the adorable little beachside cafe, where I savoured the most delicious fish and chips, washed down with a glass of chilled lemonade. 🍹
But let’s get to the real reason I’m here – BALLET! 😍 I'm in Worthing for the "Summer Dance Festival," a vibrant showcase of contemporary and classical ballet performances, featuring local dance schools and professional companies. This festival is an absolute dream for any ballet lover, with everything from dazzling group numbers to moving solos that tug at your heartstrings.
For my first performance, I donned my black tutu, my trusty companion for these exciting adventures. Black is chic, it's powerful, and it contrasts beautifully with the bright colours of the seaside. 💃 I love how my black tutu, paired with a fluffy pink cardigan, turned heads as I sashayed through the festival grounds. The crowds loved it!
My heart almost exploded with excitement when the first performance began. It was a contemporary piece by a local school – the energy was electric! Watching those young dancers pour their hearts out on stage with such passion made me incredibly nostalgic. 🩰 It’s amazing to see ballet blossoming in such vibrant communities, bringing joy and inspiration to everyone.
After the show, I treated myself to an ice cream by the sea – a perfect end to a glorious day. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with fiery hues, I couldn't help but reflect on how amazing life is when you have ballet, tutus, and pink around you! 🥰
Speaking of pink, did you know that my latest “Pink Tutu Challenge” is well on its way? It’s my mission to inspire everyone to embrace a bit of pink in their lives – be it a pink hair clip, a pink scarf, or even a pink tutu (of course!). After all, who doesn't love a little bit of colour in their lives? 😉
Speaking of spreading the pink tutu love, my dear friend Chloe is visiting me next week, and she's bringing along a fantastic surprise! We're planning a special event to get everyone involved in ballet – it’s going to be an afternoon filled with dance, fun, and pink-tutu-licious surprises. 💖 Stay tuned for all the details – I'll be posting pictures and videos on my Instagram (find me at @pinktutuemma!)
Now, before I go, I have a little ballet-related quiz for you! Do you know how many movements are in a complete piqué turn?
That's all for today, my lovelies. Thanks for joining me on this adventure. I can't wait to tell you about more of my exciting travel experiences in my next blog post. Until then, remember to embrace life with a pink-tutu-licious twist!
Your darling tutu-loving ballerina,
Emma x 💖
