Good morning, darlings! ☀️ It’s Emma here, fresh from a delightful trip to Frome, that charming little town in Somerset, with a heart full of ballet and a wardrobe bursting with pink! 💖
My adventure began, as it so often does, with a train journey. There’s just something utterly magical about travelling by train, especially in the English countryside. The rolling hills, the sleepy villages, and the soft clinking of the carriages - it all evokes a sense of escapism and pure delight! 🩰
Arriving in Frome, I was immediately smitten with its cobbled streets, independent shops, and the sense of artistic energy buzzing in the air. The first order of the day, of course, was a visit to the lovely "Dancers’ Delight" shop. I couldn't resist a little retail therapy, and a gorgeous, new leotard in the most divine shade of pink found its way into my bag! It’s one of those delux leotards, you know, the ones with all the delicate embellishments and the perfect stretch. I can't wait to strut my stuff in it at my next ballet class!
Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Emma, isn’t Frome a little far for just a ballet leotard?” But, dear reader, this was only the beginning! Frome is home to the Frome Festival of Dance every year. And you can’t be a true tutu-loving soul without experiencing a festival of dance! Imagine a weekend filled with ballet performances, workshops, street theatre, and even a whimsical parade where everyone, from tiny tots to silver-haired grannies, wears a pink tutu! 💖🩰 It was pure magic!
And wouldn't you know it, I actually saw a ballet inspired by… wild animals! 🙀 I don't think I’ve ever seen a ballerina gracefully mimicking the movement of a graceful, majestic deer. It was truly enchanting! It even got me thinking about the graceful beauty of the deer I’ve seen on the edge of the Peak District National Park, just a hop and skip away from my little Derbyshire home.
The Frome Festival was bursting with creativity and charm. There was a street performance with acrobats and jugglers in fluffy pink costumes! I must confess, the highlight of the trip, for me, was seeing a beautiful young dancer in a full pink tutu. You could just feel her passion pouring out through her movement! She had the kind of spirit that really does inspire others to embrace their own creative soul.
So, after all those amazing performances and workshops, you can only imagine my excitement at the chance to take a class. It’s like returning to your favourite pair of comfy shoes or that hot mug of tea after a long day – pure comfort and joy. 😊 And believe me, there’s nothing like slipping into a freshly washed tutu, feeling the smooth silk glide across your skin, and then joining in on that graceful symphony of movement!
You see, it’s not just about the tutus, darlings! It's about the community, the shared joy, the pure energy of expressing oneself through movement. I am forever inspired by the kindness and warmth of those who choose to embrace the magic of ballet. 💕
And as I boarded the train back home, I couldn’t help but reflect on how wonderful this weekend was. Frome is truly a hidden gem! I left with a heart full of ballet bliss, a gorgeous new pink leotard, and a newfound appreciation for the magic of Somerset!
