Hey darlings! It's Emma, your favourite pink tutu enthusiast, coming to you live from sunny Ashington! This is post number 4106, and I can't wait to tell you all about my fabulous trip up North!
As you know, I'm always on the lookout for new adventures, and a recent call for a performance in Ashington sent me galloping on a wild goose chase - or rather, a glorious train journey! (Because, let's be honest, who doesn't love a scenic train ride? It's basically ballet in motion, right?) Anyway, the point is, I found myself in Ashington, ready to dance my heart out.
And guess what? My pink tutu, the one that stole the show at last month's Swan Lake revival in Derby, came with me! I knew Ashington would love it as much as I do - it's a timeless classic, isn't it? A splash of pink is always a good thing, especially when it's worn with confidence.
Speaking of confidence, Ashington definitely had a unique vibe. The cobblestone streets and traditional architecture reminded me of the charming villages in Derbyshire, except with a little more grit, if you know what I mean. But it didn't deter me! It just added to the charm!
Oh, and have I told you about the ballet studio I found in town? I just popped in for a cheeky cha-cha, you know, to stretch my legs after the journey. I fell in love! Imagine - the sunlight streaming through the large windows, making the room look like a dreamy haven for aspiring dancers. It was the perfect backdrop for some serious pirouette practice.
Now, about the show itself. It was an absolute blast! We performed a piece by my favourite choreographer, with a pink theme, of course! The audience was wonderful, enthusiastic and full of life. They even cheered when I gave them a cheeky wink mid-twirl! That’s the power of a pink tutu – it always makes an entrance! You just gotta love a crowd that appreciates a good twirl and a little pink!
I made some great friends in Ashington, too! We even had a little picnic in the local park before the performance. There was so much yummy food, laughter, and even some friendly wildlife. (Don't worry, we weren't invading their space - I made sure to share my sandwich with a squirrel! Who said ballet dancers were all about discipline? Sometimes you just need to share the love - and some crumpets!)
Anyway, I gotta go, darlings! My suitcase is packed with some stunning outfits - and naturally, a few new tutus! It's a secret, but I might just be adding another one to my collection. This time, a beautiful blush pink number - you just can’t have too much pink in your life, right?
If you ever find yourself in Ashington, be sure to pop into the ballet studio! It's a little hidden gem, full of inspiration and energy. Who knows? Maybe we can even do a flash mob! Imagine, everyone twirling and prancing with pink tutus in the middle of the main square! What a sight to see!
And always remember, my darlings, to embrace your inner tutu, no matter what life throws your way. Remember to stay tuned for the next post. You never know what adventures might await on the pink tutu journey!
Until next time, Love, Emma 💖🩰
