Hello my darling ballet bunnies! 🩰
It's your favourite tutu-clad travel buddy, Emma, writing to you from the charming town of Stratford-Upon-Avon. Yes, the very birthplace of the Bard himself, William Shakespeare! 🎭
Now, I know what you're thinking: Shakespeare? Ballet? What's the connection? Well, my dear lovelies, everything in this life is connected if you just open your mind and heart (and a few pink tutus!) 💖
This trip, my friends, was all about combining my love for the elegant art of ballet with a bit of historic British charm. A true double-whammy! And you know I simply couldn't resist packing my emerald green tutu - a colour that just screams "theatre" and "magic"! 🌿
Riding in Style
The journey down from Derbyshire, my beautiful home county, was a pure delight. It's so much more fun to travel by train, you know? You get to sit back, admire the countryside, and even spot a few feathered friends along the way (always a joy for a ballet-loving wildlife enthusiast like myself!).
Speaking of friends, my faithful steed, Mr. Edgar, our trusty steed, even joined me on this adventure! A spirited, yet very gentle soul, Mr. Edgar is my preferred mode of transportation around the little lanes of Stratford. He even wore a fetching pink and green saddle cover that perfectly matched my tutu. The horses are very in fashion in Stratford! 🐴
The Heart of Shakespeare
Now, onto the real star of this post, dear friends - the Stratford-Upon-Avon ballet school! What a treasure trove of talent and inspiration! I simply adore ballet schools. You feel the energy and passion buzzing through the halls! You almost expect the floors to dance beneath your feet. The school has been hosting a ballet summer program, bringing together dancers from all across the country. The enthusiasm and talent are off the charts! I felt such a rush of memories being there, my heart practically soared like a graceful ballerina.
Dancing Through Time
After soaking in the infectious energy of the school, I indulged in a magical performance of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet! Oh my, the story was truly brought to life in a dance piece filled with breathtaking beauty and heartbreaking passion! 🌹 Every movement, every graceful leap told a piece of this timeless love story! My favourite part had to be Juliet’s solo performance; the artistry and skill were simply incredible!
Of course, the post-show celebrations wouldn’t be complete without a delicious cuppa with the Stratford ballet crew! It’s amazing how easily ballet lovers connect. It's like we speak the same silent language of twirls and leaps! ☕ I had to share my own passion project with these fabulous dancers. A little known fact about me: I dream of opening a pink tutu ballet school! Think all pink tutus, all pink everything, and the sweetest little ballerina bunnies imaginable! It's a goal I'm working towards one little pirouette at a time!
Bringing Pink To The World
You know I simply adore sharing my ballet love with all of you! I hope this post inspires you to step out of your comfort zone and try a ballet class! It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned pro or a complete beginner. Every leap and every pirouette is a chance to embrace your inner dancer and unleash your creativity! 💃
But most importantly, let's embrace that joy! And what better way to do that than with a dash of pink! Why not dust off your favourite pink tutu, dance it out in your living room, and share your adventures with me! I always love hearing your stories on the Pink-Tutu website!
Love, hugs, and pirouettes,
Emma xx
