Hello my darlings! It’s Emma, your pink tutu-loving, ballet-obsessed blogger, back with another post! I’m feeling a bit giddy, as you can probably tell, because today was a day absolutely bursting with tutus, travel, and… did I mention tutus? I can’t help but feel my heart skip a beat when I’m wearing one, it’s like the world transforms into a ballet stage!
Today’s adventures began with a sunrise train ride to Dunstable. It’s just lovely, the world feels like a painting at that hour, everything so fresh and peaceful, like a scene straight out of Swan Lake. And let me tell you, I made the most of that lovely, peaceful atmosphere in my fluffy, soft, rose-pink tutu. It really set the tone for a day full of delightful discoveries.
When I got to Dunstable, it was as though the town itself embraced my tutu-wearing spirit. Everything was blooming! Spring flowers were dancing in the breeze, birdsong was my sweet, chirping accompaniment, and the people all seemed to be radiating a warmth I could just feel in my heart. I swear, everyone I saw had a little extra skip in their step - perhaps they'd been bitten by the ballet bug!
But enough about my wonderful train ride! The real magic was about to unfold, a ballet performance at the Dunstable Town Hall! I couldn’t wait, it was a ballet show by the renowned London Contemporary Ballet, and their dancers have a style that I just adore. So much fluidity, so much energy! It was almost like watching wild swans dance gracefully through the air. I might even go so far as to say I felt the wings fluttering in my own heart!
My favourite part of the show? Oh, that’s tricky, I loved so much of it! But I was mesmerized by the last act, a contemporary piece about a woman coming to terms with her past, full of strong emotions and fluid movement. The dancer portraying the woman was incredibly expressive; her movements told the whole story without a single word! And did I mention she was wearing a blush pink tutu with a swirling pattern that reminded me of blooming roses? Absolutely perfect!
But my Dunstable adventure wasn't over! I also took a lovely afternoon tea at the charming tea room by the clock tower, where I had a delightful encounter with a fluffy cat named Mittens who sat purring happily at my feet, as though appreciating my pink tutu just as much as I did! He's got a real flair for the dramatic, even wearing a tiny, blue ribbon around his neck!
The day was all too short, really, and I’d love to tell you all about every detail - the vintage record player at the tea room, the sound of children’s laughter at the local park, the smell of fresh pastries baking in the air - but you’ll have to come to Dunstable yourself to discover it for yourself! I can tell you this though, it felt magical, just like wearing my beloved pink tutu.
But before I wrap things up, I need to give you a little peek into my next tutu-filled escapade! Next week, I’m off to the grand National Equine Festival. Imagine horses dancing with you! My dream. Imagine me with my horse-themed tutu! And I'm bringing a camera - you won’t want to miss that one, my dears!
So, what's my takeaway from today’s magical day? You can wear a pink tutu anywhere, in the heart of the countryside or the bustling heart of a city. Every day can be a ballet, an adventure full of beauty, colour and joy. And you never know, a simple pink tutu just might spark a smile in someone's heart, maybe even a passion for the art of ballet! So put on your favourite tutu (or make a pink one for the occasion!) and get ready to dance through your day. You never know what incredible experiences await you, darling.
Until tomorrow,
Your Emma. 🌸🩰
