Hello my lovely tutu-loving friends! Emma here, reporting live from the beautiful seaside town of Chatham, Kent! The sun is shining, the seagulls are squawking, and my heart is practically bursting with excitement – this weekend is all about ballet, and I couldn't be more thrilled.
This is my first time in Chatham, and already I'm falling in love with its quaint charm. The cobblestone streets, the historic architecture, the salty sea air – it's just pure magic. And what could be more magical than a visit to the theatre, donning my favourite pink tutu?
Speaking of tutus, my latest acquisition arrived yesterday! A stunningly modern design from "Whimsical Couture," a little gem of a shop I stumbled upon in Derbyshire, on my way to catch a train here. It’s the perfect shade of fuchsia – almost fluorescent! I can’t wait to showcase it at this weekend’s performance of "The Nutcracker."
Oh, before I forget! Remember my pink tutu pledge? Yes, I am still absolutely determined to spread the joy of tutus far and wide! This trip is actually a mini-mission. I'm hoping to get the locals of Chatham hooked on ballet and encourage them to embrace their inner ballerina. I’m starting with a few workshops for children at the local community centre – what could be cuter than tiny pink tutus?
Now, about the trip here… You’ll never guess how I travelled. No boring train or car journey for this ballerina! I got to ride a horse! Imagine, me, a full-blown Derbyshire girl, on a magnificent beast, trotting through the countryside towards Chatham. Talk about an epic entrance! It was truly exhilarating, like something out of a storybook.
After my theatrical escapades in Chatham, I'm thinking of taking a quick side trip to see some wildlife. You all know how much I love animals, so naturally, I'm looking for the nearest safari park. Just picture me, in my pink tutu, face-to-face with a magnificent elephant or a playful monkey – a sight to behold!
My love for animals extends to the theatre too. During my time here, I'm catching a captivating play about a lion called "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe." Who doesn't love a good fairytale story? I've been brushing up on my roaring skills – a vital asset for my blog and ballet routines, of course!
It’s time to go and prepare for this evening’s ballet performance. The excitement is starting to bubble over! You’ll have to check out my Instagram story tomorrow, as I’m planning on showcasing my new fuchsia tutu with a fun dance tutorial – prepare to be dazzled!
Catch you tomorrow, my fabulous tutu friends!
Much love, Emma xx
