Hey lovelies!
It’s Emma here, your favourite Derbyshire tutu-trotter, bringing you all the pink-hued excitement from my latest adventure - a trip to Worksop, a quaint little town in the heart of Nottinghamshire!
As you know, my love for exploring the UK is as boundless as my love for pink tutus. This time, I traded my trusty steed (that's right, I ride a magnificent grey mare named Blossom!) for the comfort of a charming railway carriage. The journey was truly delightful, especially since I couldn't resist donning my newest pink tutu for the occasion. It's a luscious, silky dream of a creation, adorned with shimmering silver sequins and a cascade of fluffy feathers. Picture it – a blushing flamingo, brought to life!
Arriving in Worksop, I felt a familiar flutter of excitement. The air buzzed with the anticipation of a new adventure, and I couldn’t wait to lose myself in the local charm.
My first stop was a beautiful little park, tucked away amongst cobblestone streets. It was absolutely teeming with vibrant birds - colourful robins, chatty sparrows, and even a cheeky robin redbreast! These delightful creatures just seem to radiate such pure joy, it’s simply contagious. You know how I feel about spreading joy, right? So I, of course, had to break out my little ballet bag packed with treats - and some fresh berries for Blossom.
The Tutu-tastic Performance at the Worksop Playhouse
Speaking of joy, my Worksop escapade was culminating in a performance I had been eagerly awaiting! A captivating ballet show - a stunning production of "Giselle" - at the charming Worksop Playhouse. Let me tell you, it was pure magic! The ethereal beauty of the choreography, the delicate movements, the graceful storytelling… I was utterly transported, and every bit of it made me want to pirouette into the sunset!
A Dash of Ballet in the Street!
And of course, a good ballet performance always sets the mood for a little street dancing. Now, Worksop is far from a bustling metropolis, but the energy in the town square was infectious. I couldn’t resist grabbing my little ballerina bag, whipping out my pinkest tutu, and twirling under the glistening streetlamps. The friendly locals clapped and cheered me on, their smiles as bright as the twinkling Christmas lights adorning the square! It truly reminded me of why I adore sharing the magic of ballet – it has the power to connect and uplift everyone, from the young to the young-at-heart.
Embracing the Pastel Power!
To say I had a fantastic time in Worksop would be a serious understatement! It was an absolute delight. From the vibrant wildlife to the charming local architecture and the exhilarating ballet performance, this quaint town truly stole my heart. The best part? My "Tutu-tastic Tuesday" challenge - encouraging everyone to embrace a little bit of pink in their lives and wear a pink tutu! (Remember: If you’re on a budget, even a splash of pink on a simple outfit is a good place to start!)
But don't just take my word for it! Here's a little snippet of what I posted on my Instagram stories from the trip:

The Call for Pink Tutus and Ballet!
Let's talk a bit about that #TutuTasticTuesday challenge. My dream is to encourage everyone, everywhere to try a little bit of ballet. It's a magical, empowering experience that can bring joy and confidence to people of all ages. It doesn't matter if you've never danced a day in your life, or if you're a seasoned pro. All that matters is the love for the dance!
It all started with my little #PinkTutuLove hashtag. I wear my tutus everywhere I go, and I truly believe that the power of a pink tutu lies not just in its beautiful swirls and fluff, but in the positive energy it radiates! Every twirl is a chance to embrace confidence, grace, and happiness, and I hope it inspires others to do the same.
And here's another little secret - I've been working on my dream project: "Pink Tutu Diaries" – a series of online video tutorials and inspiring stories that capture the magic of ballet! I can't wait to share it with you, my beautiful pink-loving ballet buddies, so stay tuned for more information soon!
In the meantime, remember to keep dreaming, keep dancing, and always keep a little bit of pink in your heart! Love you all!
XOXO,
Emma
