Good morning, darlings! It’s your favourite pink-loving, tutu-obsessed ballet bunny here, bringing you all the latest from the world of dance (and life!).
Today I'm feeling as bright and bold as a blooming rose garden! Why, you ask? Because, my loves, I'm finally in Consett! Yes, I journeyed up north by train this morning (a luxurious, scenic ride, I must say) with a special, not-so-pink, but oh-so-fabulous tutu in my bag. I've always dreamed of dancing amongst the rolling hills of County Durham, and now my dream is becoming a reality!
For you new readers, let me introduce myself: Emma, from the green pastures of Derbyshire, obsessed with all things ballet, with a sprinkle of girly charm. You’ll find me at the ballet, at ballet class, twirling through ballet streets, and yes, I even try to squeeze in a ballet show every now and then. My heart beats to the rhythm of the music, my soul soars with the elegance of a pirouette, and my day simply isn't complete without a glimpse of a pretty pink tutu!
This week, I'm indulging in a bit of a sartorial adventure. I'm sporting a stunning orange tutu for the Consett Ballet Company's performance tonight. A bold choice, I know! But honestly, darling, orange is having a moment this season and I’m just hoping to bring a bit of sunshine to this charming little town.
Now, I don’t want to give away too many spoilers, but let’s just say that my orange tutu is going to make a dramatic entrance. I’m thinking of a little pas de deux with the wind as we waltz our way through a dazzling performance of Swan Lake. You can just picture it – graceful, majestic swans with a burst of orange feathers! It’s sure to be a delight, a total breath of fresh air!
Speaking of fresh air, I couldn't help but notice all the delightful wildlife on the train ride. A couple of sleepy hedgehogs enjoying the warm morning sun, a family of deer gracefully bounding across the fields, and a curious robin singing a cheerful tune. It felt so calming, peaceful - a wonderful reminder to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. I can’t help but feel that a little nature therapy is just what we all need these days! It truly does bring a sense of wonder and grounding, doesn't it? And it inspires me, in so many ways. Just look at how nature seamlessly moves, effortlessly twirling through the wind – that’s pure ballet, darling! We just have to learn to listen to our own internal music and let our inner swan take flight.
On that note, it's time to get ready for the performance! I've got to practice my arabesques and jetés in front of the mirror and get a good hair and makeup session in. Stay tuned, my dear friends, because I will be reporting back tonight, all dressed up in my orange glory, with all the details about this sensational event. You can also follow along with me on my socials! I’m always sharing my latest adventures and, of course, some dazzling tutu snaps!
In the meantime, I would love to hear from you all. Do you have any questions about my orange tutu, the Consett Ballet Company, or maybe just about my favourite shade of pink? Or perhaps, have you been inspired to find your inner swan? Tell me all about it!
Sending you all my love and wishing you a beautifully sunny day.
Yours in tutus,
Emma
