Hello my darling dears!
Emma here, your favourite tutu-wearing, ballet-loving, pink-obsessed gal from Derbyshire, and today I'm feeling all kinds of giddy, as I'm hopping on a train to Borehamwood for a whirlwind weekend! Can you believe it? This little town is overflowing with ballet history, and it's my absolute dream come true to finally get to explore it.
I must confess, I almost went for the horsey route – think me, all glammed up in my best pink tutu, riding side-saddle through the English countryside – but alas, the train schedule was more forgiving. (Though, imagine the Instagram opportunities, eh?) Still, I'm packing my signature bright pink tutu, of course, and a fabulous new sequined leotard with an adorable swan motif that I snagged on sale – I just couldn't resist!
You know how much I adore finding the hidden gems of the ballet world, and Borehamwood is truly one of them! There's just so much to discover! I hear there are gorgeous old studios where the legends of ballet trained, hidden in little alleyways. I'm picturing myself pirouetting through those historic studios, feeling the legacy of every great ballerina that came before. Now, doesn't that just make you want to dance, darlings?
I've got my trusty little journal, my vintage pink Polaroid camera, and a new book on the history of the Royal Ballet. It's like my own personal time capsule of dance and magic. Speaking of magic, I can't wait to catch a performance at the gorgeous New Victoria Theatre in the town! It’s got this charming, intimate feel to it. Plus, I've heard rumours of an amazing new production featuring a young dancer who just took the ballet world by storm!
Of course, my Borehamwood adventure isn't all about performing, darling! I plan to indulge in some serious sightseeing and wander through the green, serene back alleys of the town, breathing in that lovely, earthy English countryside air. It's the perfect backdrop for a spontaneous ballet session. Can't wait to post photos of my favourite discoveries on Instagram.
Speaking of photos, I've even prepped my new pink tutu filter, so prepare to be flooded with gorgeous snaps! I can’t help myself! It adds that touch of pink perfection to every single picture – like, a whole new dimension of fun, you know?
But before I whisk myself off to my little Borehamwood haven, let's have a moment of pure inspiration, shall we? Imagine a world where everyone, everyone, wears pink tutus, just like I do! And they all love dancing? The world would be a whirlwind of twirls, leaps, and pirouettes, a world filled with joy and graceful movement. I bet the bunnies and the deer would even be twirling too. How delightful, right?
So darling, go forth and twirl, jump, and spin! Be brave! Don’t be afraid to make your own adventures. Embrace the pink, the tulle, the passion for dance. My Borehamwood adventure begins tomorrow, and I can't wait to share every single twirling detail with you! Until next time, darlings!
Much love,
Emma
