Hello, darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-loving ballet bunny, Emma, here, and guess what? I'm off on another adventure! This time, I'm leaving the rolling hills of Derbyshire behind and heading north to the charming town of Farnworth, just a short train journey from the bustle of Manchester.
Now, you know how much I love trains, right? It's a whole experience! I spent the journey catching up on some fashion magazines (because even on the go, one must be stylish!), listening to my favourite ballet playlist, and dreaming about the gorgeous pink tutu I'm going to wear for the performance I'm attending this evening. You'll be seeing pictures on my Instagram, don't worry!
The journey was breathtaking. Lush green fields gave way to charming towns with little quaint shops that made my inner ballerina heart flutter (I imagine they were selling ballet shoes!). As I got closer to Farnworth, I even spotted a herd of deer frolicking in the fields - isn't nature absolutely magical?
Speaking of magical, this whole trip is all about embracing the magic of dance, specifically ballet, of course! Tonight, I'm going to see a fantastic ballet production put on by a local dance school. You know I love to support up-and-coming talent, especially when it comes to ballet. I'm hoping to see some amazing pirouettes, beautiful leaps, and graceful extensions, all set to some enchanting music.
Now, this is where things get really interesting! For the evening's performance, I've gone for a rather special tutu... you're not going to believe it, it's German! Yes, I'm channeling my inner Frida Kahlo with a gorgeous black and pink, polka-dot tutu that was a vintage find at a fabulous shop in London. I think it's the perfect balance of chic and playful. It will go perfectly with my signature bright pink lipstick, which, by the way, I bought just for this occasion. It's a matte pink with a touch of glitter, simply divine! You'll see the entire outfit in detail on my Instagram later tonight - follow me at @pinktutuadventures for all the fun, darling.
But I'm not just here to watch! After the performance, I'm taking a beginner's ballet class in Farnworth's lovely old town hall. I simply cannot resist a good barre workout and stretching! Even if it's just for an hour, it helps to keep my ballerina muscles in top shape. Plus, learning something new always brightens my day. Maybe I'll learn a new move to impress you all! Don't forget, the most important thing is to have fun. You never know, it could be the start of your ballet journey too!
Farnworth is already turning into one of my favourite towns! Everyone has been so friendly, and the local pub was absolutely charming. They even had a delicious veggie pie that reminded me of my grandma's cooking!
I know what you're thinking: "Emma, but wouldn't it be better to ride a horse through this idyllic landscape?" Oh, how you know me so well! The idea of cantering through the fields on horseback in my pink tutu and a feather boa is indeed highly tempting! I might just have to try that tomorrow. Stay tuned for more pink tutu adventures, my dears!
Before I go, remember: never let anyone tell you that your dreams are too big, too silly, or too impossible. Embrace your passion, wear your heart on your sleeve (or tutu, in my case!), and dance your way through life with a smile! You never know what amazing opportunities await you around the next corner.
Until tomorrow, darlings, stay fabulous!
Lots of love and pirouettes,
Emma xoxo
