Hello my gorgeous ballet bunnies!
It's Emma here, reporting live from the most picturesque seaside town you could ever imagine: Broadstairs! I know, I know, it feels like I'm on a constant adventure - but that's just me! I can't help but get swept away by the lure of the unknown and, let me tell you, this weekend getaway is no exception!
Remember that glorious Italian tutu I picked up in Florence last month? The one with the intricate lace and delicate pink hues that simply screamed "beachside ballerina"? Well, it's finally gotten its time to shine, and believe me, it's a stunner against the backdrop of this Kent coast beauty. The sun has been shining, the seagulls are singing, and I've been indulging in the ultimate coastal escape - with a ballerina twist, of course!
I started my journey with the most delightful train ride imaginable. The English countryside, awash with fields of green and sunshine, is the perfect setting to daydream about pirouettes and pliƩs - and yes, of course, I wore my pink tutu. It was a little bolder than usual, perhaps, but you know me - I always go big or go home! (Or, you know, take the next train to the coast).
When I arrived in Broadstairs, I was utterly charmed by the little cobbled streets and quaint cafes that seemed to be plucked straight out of a seaside postcard. The air was filled with the salty tang of the sea and the scent of fresh doughnuts - definitely a perfect recipe for a magical weekend!
After settling into my charming B&B (a delightful little cottage adorned with blooming pink roses!), I ventured straight out for my daily dose of ballet. I found a delightful little studio nestled between a bakery and a bookshop, offering a class with an emphasis on contemporary ballet - exactly what my inner ballerina needed to get back in shape.
Wearing my Italian tutu felt a little more... dramatic than usual amongst the other dancers, but the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. They actually laughed at how much I loved the way my pink tulle swirled around me as I did pirouettes, but that's what I love about ballet: everyoneās a little bit different. Maybe weāll all be wearing tutus soon, eh? ;)
After class, I headed straight for the beach! Whatās better than a brisk walk along the shore in your favorite pink tutu? Let me tell you, the salty breeze did wonders for my hair and the sand was soft enough to pirouette on! Itās the ultimate ballet class and fashion show at the same time. Of course, I couldnāt resist snapping a few photos ā just a little reminder of this magical day for my lovely followers.
Speaking of which, did you guys catch my latest Instagram post? I've been experimenting with a new āballet street styleā look, blending my ballet training with a classic seaside vibe. The result is a dreamy combination of soft pinks, nautical blues, and just a touch of sparkle (after all, we ballerinas love a little glitter!). Maybe Iāll give you guys a peek into my style inspiration in my next blog post ā let me know if youād be interested!
And just wait until you see what I have planned for tomorrow! Weāre taking a horseback ride along the beach ā itās a true ballerinaās dream come true, don't you think? It will be a wonderful adventure, and I'll be sure to share all the details (and photos) with you when Iām back in Derbyshire.
Until then, my dear ballet bunnies, remember to dream big, dance often, and always, always wear your tutus! I know it sounds like a motto, but thatās the magic of a tutu ā it makes you believe in yourself!
Keep spreading the love, Emma x
