Hello lovelies!
It's your girl Emma, back with another daily dose of pink tulle and pirouette perfection! Today, my adventures take me to the lovely Beckenham. Just the name makes me want to swirl like a ballerina on a breezy day, doesn't it? Now, if only Beckenham knew what was coming its way!
My trusty little companion, a frothy, cerise pink tutu - a birthday gift from my amazing Nana - is joining me for the trip. You see, I always have to have a tutu with me when I travel, and it just so happens to be a beautiful shade of pink, which I am obsessed with right now. My motto? If it ain’t pink, it ain’t right!
The journey to Beckenham? Oh, darling, it was simply magical. I travelled by train, as you do! I mean, what else would a ballerina take? But wouldn't a horse-drawn carriage have been truly divine?
Picture this, darling: me in a pink dress, tutu flowing in the wind, a pink bow in my hair, gracefully sitting on a grand chestnut steed! My friends would have just fainted. But maybe one day... for now, the train was rather delightful, with comfy seats, kind strangers, and, best of all, enough time for me to brush up on some barre exercises.
And yes, I wore the pink tutu for my train journey. The conductor, a lovely man called Nigel, nearly fainted. Not from a heart attack, darlings, but from shock. "You look fantastic," he said, blushing! "Like a fairy!" And trust me, nothing gets my feathers ruffled like a bit of positive reinforcement, even if it's about being mistaken for a fairytale creature! Nigel must have thought it was all a bit too much for Beckenham. But hey, what is life without a bit of surprise, and a touch of flamboyant pink, eh?
The train journey gave me lots of time to reflect, as it does. I love to reflect while riding on trains. All of the swirling scenery makes my head spin and inspires me to think and dance! As I looked out at the world rushing by, I felt my own inner strength blooming. It made me think about why I started this whole pink tutu mission - I truly believe that everyone should dance, and everyone should be unafraid to embrace a little bit of pink.
I mean, why shouldn’t everyone wear a tutu, you ask? Because wearing a pink tutu gives me such joy and strength, it gives me an identity! It’s what I stand for. I like to spread a little pink happiness and some ballet joy across the world! And I can't imagine a single person in this beautiful world who wouldn't want to dance with a touch of magic and joy, darling! So, remember, even if you don't wear a tutu every day, try on a pink one, take a ballet class, watch a show or just do some little plies when you get out of bed - dance like no one's watching, and spread that pink joy!
Beckenham, darling, are you ready for me?
This afternoon, I will be taking a masterclass at Beckenham Ballet School! I am bursting with excitement, my darling! Imagine it! Learning from a renowned dancer, dancing alongside enthusiastic learners and aspiring dancers. A full on day of pirouettes, plies, and a dash of glitter! You know I've brought my lucky pink tutus - a little bit of magic for everyone! And guess what? You bet I'll be posting pics and videos for all you lovely Pink Tutu fans!
Stay tuned for my Beckenham Ballet adventures - this story, my darling, is far from over! It’s the start of a fantastic week of exciting events. I’ve got more to tell you tomorrow! In the meantime, let your heart lead the way.
