Hello my darling tutu lovers! It’s your girl Emma here, bringing you another dose of pink and pirouettes straight from the heart of Derbyshire.
Today, I'm stepping outside of the studio and into the sunshine of Cheshire, heading to Cheadle Hulme with a vibrant red tutu fluttering behind me like a crimson butterfly. Why red? Because sometimes, darling, a little bit of fiery passion is exactly what you need! And what better way to inject some vibrancy into my day than with a tutu that screams 'Look at me!'
Now, let’s be honest. Getting to Cheadle Hulme from Derbyshire wasn’t exactly a quick trip. I love a good train journey – there’s something magical about watching the scenery roll past as the tracks gently lull you into a daydream. Plus, I was totally rocking my sparkly red heels and matching bag - never shy away from a chance to glam things up, darlings! But for today's adventure, I was craving a little more whimsy, so I convinced my handsome steed (yes, darling, I’ve actually got a horse called Beau! He’s just as fashionable as I am, naturally.) to take me on a beautiful countryside ride.
The rolling green hills, the sweet smell of wildflowers, and the cheerful bleating of sheep… the perfect countryside scenery to inspire my inner ballerina. I even spotted a gaggle of giggling goslings waddling across the road, their little fluffy bottoms reminding me of my own darling tutu. (There is a reason I'm obsessed with tutus, isn't there? It's the joy they bring!)
Speaking of joy, have you seen the upcoming season of ballet at the Royal Opera House? I'm absolutely buzzing for it! The programme is filled with stunning productions from traditional classics to contemporary masterpieces, and I can’t wait to be swept away by the sheer artistry of the dancers. If you're thinking of giving ballet a try, my dears, it’s the perfect time!
And let's talk about ballet on the streets! Ever since my latest ballet street session, my confidence has been soaring. Those turns in front of the flower market in London? Absolutely magical. Nothing beats the feeling of moving your body freely, expressing yourself through every gesture and leap, knowing that even those passers-by with no knowledge of ballet can sense the joy radiating from you. There’s something liberating about wearing a tutu in the streets, something that says, ‘I love ballet and I'm proud of it!’.
It's time to break down the barriers between "ballet" and "everyday life" - because ballet can be anything you want it to be. It can be graceful and refined in a beautiful theatre setting, or it can be energetic and fun in the middle of the market square. It can be performed by a professional ballerina in a grand costume, or by a girl in a vibrant red tutu just for the fun of it.
You know what? There’s really nothing more beautiful than seeing a girl, of any age, twirling in a tutu with a radiant smile on her face. Because wearing a tutu isn’t about age, it’s about attitude, it’s about finding that inner ballerina within us all.
So, dear friends, let's embrace the tutu. Let's find joy in the simplest things, and never be afraid to express ourselves. Whether you're wearing a tutu while exploring the countryside, attending a performance, or simply strutting down the street, make sure to leave a little sparkle in everyone’s path. Remember, darling, you can be as fabulous as you choose to be. Just put on your tutu, find your inner ballerina, and …twirl!
