Oh darling! Guess who's back in the saddle… er, I mean, the carriage! Well, not really a carriage, but a rather delightful train journey took me from my Derbyshire digs to the beautiful town of Bebington on the Wirral Peninsula! This week is all about celebrating the wonderful world of ballet and, as you all know, I can't wait to share it with you. 💖
I've always said there's something so wonderfully magical about stepping out of a train station and into a brand new place, ready to explore all its hidden treasures. Bebington was no exception. Cobbled streets, quaint little shops, and charming pubs… the whole place was brimming with character! Of course, the first stop was for a proper cuppa with the requisite clotted cream scones – gotta fuel up for all that dancing, wouldn't you say?
And dancing, darlings, we shall! Tonight's highlight is a captivating ballet performance by the Bebington Ballet School. Now, this isn't your average studio recital. Oh no! This school is renowned for its innovative productions that blur the lines between traditional ballet and modern interpretation. You just know I'll be snapping up some fabulous photographs for my Instagram – all about showcasing these young dancers and their exquisite artistry. I'm already imagining all the fabulous costumes… hopefully some bright pink tutus make an appearance!
But hold your horses, darling! The real fun kicks off tomorrow! I've enrolled myself in a masterclass with none other than the renowned choreographer, Penelope Palmer! Did I mention how utterly chuffed I am? Penelope is legendary in the world of ballet, with an avant-garde style that pushes boundaries and elevates traditional ballet to new heights. Can you even imagine the skills I'm going to learn? I'm already dreaming of intricate footwork and graceful movements, with a sprinkle of that je ne sais quoi that makes her choreography so utterly captivating.
And wouldn't you know it, the studio I'm going to is just around the corner from a beautiful park, so naturally, a post-class picnic in the sunshine is absolutely in order! Don't worry, I've already packed my trusty picnic basket, full of all the essentials - delicate finger sandwiches, fluffy pastries, and my favourite pink prosecco – because a ballerina deserves a little celebratory treat, don't you think?
Speaking of celebrations, how about a toast to all things pink, darling? Today is officially 'Pink Tutu Day'! Why not put on your prettiest pink tutu and join me in celebrating all things pink and sparkly? It's the perfect opportunity to embrace the world's most elegant colour and add a dash of femininity to your day! Even better, get your nearest and dearest to join in! After all, the more pink tutus, the merrier!
I've even devised a few ideas for you to spread the pink tutu love:
- Post a selfie! Capture yourself in your best pink tutu and share it on social media. Don't forget to use the hashtag #PinkTutuDay!
- Pink-tastic ballet class: If you're feeling bold, put on your pink tutu and hit up a ballet class! Even if you're a beginner, remember that the only rule is to have fun and unleash your inner ballerina.
- Pink picnic in the park: Gather your besties for a picnic in the park – pink picnic blanket, pink finger sandwiches, pink prosecco – let's paint the world pink, darling!
My mission, darlings, is to make the world a little brighter, a little more magical, and most importantly, a little more pink. One tutu, one graceful pirouette, and one happy dancer at a time!
Stay tuned for my next post – I'm going to share my incredible experience in Penelope Palmer's masterclass, so don't forget to check back for all the juicy details!
Remember to share your Pink Tutu Day photos and adventures on social media – and let's keep the pink tutu magic going! XOXO, Emma
