Hello, my darlings! 🩰 It’s your favourite Derbyshire gal, Emma, here, coming to you live from the lovely town of Airdrie!
This is post number 3281 on www.pink-tutu.com (can you believe it? I’ve been writing this blog for ages!), and it's bursting at the seams with excitement! Today was a whirlwind of ballet and beautiful things, all topped off with a pancake tutu. Yes, you read that right! My little taste buds were doing pirouettes with excitement.
Train Travels
Now, I'm not just about glamorous ballet studios and stage lights (although I do adore those too). I always get a thrill out of a good train journey - especially when the sun's shining like it did today. It's the perfect way to travel; you can enjoy the changing scenery, chat with interesting people, or even get some work done in peace. And you'll know my heart will always belong to the train - after all, it's my own personal ballet barre where I practise my grand jetés and gracefully navigate the carriage to find my seat! 😂
Airdrie and All its Charm
Anyway, back to Airdrie. This lovely little town in North Lanarkshire was waiting for me, ready for a dose of ballet magic. My mission this weekend? To teach a beginners ballet workshop at the lovely ‘The Dance Academy’ and share my love of all things dance! I'm so thrilled to see the joy on the faces of these beginners; ballet is truly something magical, a perfect form of expression, and it doesn't matter if you're a seasoned dancer or taking your first steps - there's room for everyone in the world of dance!
Pancake Perfection
After a morning of teaching, I had a well-deserved treat at ‘The Pancake Parlour’ in the heart of town! The most exquisite stack of pancakes appeared before me, each one beautifully drizzled with a swirl of maple syrup, the taste truly was something to pirouette about. It inspired me, of course, so I had to get my own personal interpretation down on paper - it will be featured in my next design! Yes, my darlings, you guessed it - a pancake tutu. Now that's what I call fashion on a plate. 😉
Beyond Ballet
Okay, let's talk about something that’s close to my heart - wildlife. 🐿️ I just love a bit of nature, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by nature, whether it's a wander in a peaceful meadow, a chat with a robin in the garden, or a visit to a nearby farm. In my travels this weekend, I bumped into a lovely deer who seemed just as fascinated with me as I was with it! A moment of true, natural beauty.
Dream Big
So, what's my aim? My dream is simple. To inspire everyone to take a leap and try ballet, and for the world to wear a pink tutu. Now, don't roll your eyes; there’s something empowering about that! Think of the power and the joy we can spread by simply dancing and embracing a little pink magic. So, what are you waiting for, darlings? Grab a pair of ballet shoes, twirl into a pink tutu, and unleash your inner ballerina! You might just surprise yourself!
Remember, every day is a dance, and we’re all part of the performance. Let’s keep our tutus twirling! 💕
Until next time, darlings, may your hearts dance with joy! 🩰
