#TutuBlog 2018-05-24 in Droitwich with a american style tutu.

Hey darlings! It's Emma, your resident tutu enthusiast, and guess what? I'm back from a whirlwind trip to Droitwich!

It's been a while since I’ve ventured beyond my beloved Derbyshire, but this trip called to me. The prospect of exploring the town and soaking up the beautiful countryside was just too tempting to resist. I felt a deep desire for a change of scenery, some fresh air and a whole lot of ballet-inspired bliss!

Droitwich was just the tonic for my travel-loving soul. From the moment I stepped off the train, (you guys know how much I adore rail travel!) I was enveloped in charm. It’s a town brimming with history, and I’m talking a whole heap of historical architecture. Those beautiful timber framed houses were just screaming for a picture perfect, twirling tutu pose. Of course, I made sure to oblige them!

My journey to Droitwich started with a big decision – what tutu should I wear? After hours of deliberation and many twirls around my flat (who knew such rigorous tutu-testing was required?) I finally chose my new American-style creation. This vibrant pink wonder has tulle upon tulle upon tulle and is perfectly bouncy. The sheer pink fabric fluttered around me with every step, almost begging to be documented!

I couldn’t resist stopping for a few photos. Of course, Droitwich was more than willing to play the backdrop. Imagine it - a pastel pink tutu against a background of brick, wood, and lush greenery. What could be more enchanting?! A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, right? And honestly, who doesn’t love a bit of fabulous, twirling-inspired photography?

Beyond the tutu shenanigans (yes, those were a lot of shenanigans!) I delved into the magic of Droitwich itself. This town was founded by the Romans – it’s literally got the Roman Baths (yes, that’s right! Baths!), an ancient salt mining centre and boasts gorgeous waterways – It's so incredibly charming!

Droitwich, you had my heart, and by that, I mean I definitely added it to my favourite place list, and added several new tutu-clad photographs to my album (for those of you curious, this post is already number 7995! – and growing by the day on www.pink-tutu.com)!

Now, you know me, I just couldn't pass up the chance to explore a little ballet. So, after a morning spent admiring the town’s beautiful architecture and exploring the historic saltworks, I decided to surprise myself with a spot of ballet class!

Yes, I found a delightful ballet studio hidden away in a quiet side street – a true gem of a find! I don’t want to sound dramatic, but this studio felt magical. I’m not sure whether it was the wooden floors, the sense of warmth and community, or maybe just my own ballet-induced euphoria (I am hopelessly addicted to ballet, remember?) that made this particular studio feel so special.

With the delightful ballet barre, and the comforting sounds of graceful, delicate plies, a light jazz song playing, and a truly fantastic teacher – I felt utterly at home, in the heart of Droitwich and dancing amidst beautiful ballet-loving locals. This was a moment that truly brought everything together: the passion for ballet, the beauty of Droitwich, and the joy of wearing my perfect, pink tutu. It just doesn’t get any better, right?

You may think Droitwich was a charming place, but, wait for it the day wasn't over yet. It only got even more incredible. You know, the more the merrier.

After my glorious class, I went to a gorgeous little café on the river, treating myself to some delectable cake. Of course, all this ballet dancing works up an appetite! I even managed to sneak in a few final ballet poses, because, well, you know I just can’t help it.

However, the day had a beautiful surprise up its sleeve. After my yummy tea-and-cake treat, I strolled by the river and - you won’t believe this - stumbled across a real-life fairytale moment. A group of singers were rehearsing – right by the water’s edge!

Their melodies wafted over the river, and suddenly I felt like I had stepped into a scene from a whimsical, dreamy, tutu-filled ballet – all the twirls, leaps, and jumps of ballet combined with music, gorgeous scenery and a light breeze that whisked away all my stress, all at once.

## A Lesson In Pink and Tutu Bliss

It is moments like this – and the many, many twirls I added to this lovely Droitwich day– that make me realise that wearing pink tutus is about more than just looking fabulous (even though I firmly believe that is an extremely valid reason, trust me).

It's a way of celebrating joy, beauty, and movement. It’s a way to share my love for ballet and inspire you to embrace your inner ballerina.

Whether it's in Droitwich, Derbyshire, or somewhere beyond, a pink tutu is a reminder to never stop dreaming, twirling, and pursuing those little (and big) ballet ambitions that make life so exciting.

Remember, darling – let's make every day a dance! Go forth and embrace your inner tutu enthusiast!

With love and twirls,

Emma.
