Hello darlings! It's Emma here, bringing you another slice of life from www.pink-tutu.com - your daily dose of pink, twirls, and all things ballet!
Today, I'm feeling a little bit adventurous. A little bit rebellious even! Forget my usual pink, today I'm rocking a purple tutu. Yep, you heard me right! It's all about mixing things up a little. Sometimes, even a pink-loving girl like me needs a little splash of something unexpected!
But why the purple? Well, my lovely readers, I'm on my way to Bromsgrove, a little town just outside of Birmingham, for a rather special event. There's a ballet class taking place, but not just any class, this one's hosted by a truly brilliant choreographer, and guess what?! It's being held in a beautiful old manor house. Can you even imagine the twirling potential of such a magical setting?
Now, usually I'd travel by train for a day trip like this - you can't beat the rhythm of the rails and the chance to admire the countryside whizzing by! But today, I'm opting for something a bit more unique. My handsome grey mare, Poppy, is eager for a road trip. It's a rather lovely ride through the Derbyshire countryside, the wind in my hair, and a smile plastered on my face as we glide along the country lanes.
There's something so empowering about riding on horseback. The freedom of it all! I must say, Poppy has a real flair for the dramatic. Just the other day, we stopped to watch a fox and cubs frolicking by a stream – a real 'nature moment' in all its glory. But then Poppy got all giddy and started galloping like she was auditioning for a starring role in a Shakespeare play! Needless to say, I kept my pink tutu neatly tucked in her saddlebag, it's hard to look your best after a few energetic canters!
But let's talk Bromsgrove, darlings. What awaits me in that charming town? Well, the choreography class is definitely the highlight! It's all about "ballet on the lawn", which has me dreaming of sun-drenched lawns, fresh air, and beautiful movement in every direction. The possibilities are truly endless!
It's not just the dance, however, I'm determined to explore this charming town. From what I gather, Bromsgrove's a haven for history buffs with its medieval church and historic streets. I can already see myself twirling down cobbled lanes, with my pink tutu swaying to the rhythm of my dancing shoes. Imagine!
Of course, I'm making sure to pack a pink picnic basket for the trip. Nothing better than some cucumber sandwiches, fresh fruit salad and my homemade rose petal jelly on freshly baked bread. I always think that life is simply a whole lot more joyful when enjoyed with a lovely homemade picnic and some good music. It’s all about those little details, those extra touches that turn a simple afternoon into a mini celebration.
Speaking of celebrations, darlings! I'm so incredibly excited about the evening ahead. There's a ballet performance at a quaint little theatre in Bromsgrove. I can’t wait to witness the magic that unfolds. It's not just the graceful movements of the dancers, it’s that atmosphere, the collective breath of the audience held in awe. It’s almost as though time stands still.
But you know me, my love for ballet knows no bounds! Whether it's on the stage, on a cobbled lane or a sun-kissed lawn, the beauty and the joy of movement remain the same!
This trip to Bromsgrove feels like the perfect mix of the new and the familiar, the adventures of a dancer with her beloved purple tutu, and the passion that drives my quest to share the magic of ballet with the world! After all, why should pink be the only colour that deserves a twirl?
Stay tuned for tomorrow's post, my dears, as I recount my adventures in Bromsgrove!
Sending you all lots of twirling love,
Emma
