Hey darlings!
It’s Emma here, your pink tutu enthusiast and aspiring ballerina, ready to whisk you away on a whirlwind adventure to the beautiful seaside town of Worthing! Today's blog is all about tutus, trains, and a touch of wild seaside wonder.
As you all know, I'm absolutely smitten with trains, especially the vintage ones. So, of course, my journey to Worthing began on the romantic carriages of the Southern Railway. The rhythmic clickety-clack of the train wheels set my imagination dancing, and I daydreamed about all the wonderful things that await me in Worthing - salty air, beautiful beaches, and of course, ballet!
Worthing itself is an absolute delight, a charming town nestled by the sea with that lovely Victorian charm. And guess what? My mission in Worthing was clear - to inspire the town with the magic of ballet, one pink tutu at a time.

So, with my tutu fluttering proudly, I set out to explore this seaside gem. First stop - the iconic Worthing Pier. Standing proudly over the ocean, it’s a place brimming with life and laughter, the air alive with the joyful sounds of sea gulls and happy families. I felt a delightful whimsicality wash over me, and it sparked an inspiration - why not spread a bit of ballerina joy along this picturesque pier?

Ballet Beyond The Stage
One of the most thrilling aspects of Worthing is the town's dedication to the performing arts. There are fantastic dance studios, a buzzing theatre scene, and so many amazing local ballet teachers! My heart sang when I discovered The Worthing Dance Centre with its charming studios, and the beautiful Worthing Pavilion Theatre. Both are truly oases of art, creativity, and an amazing welcoming atmosphere.
Worthing is the perfect place for aspiring dancers like me. It reminds us that ballet isn’t confined to the stage – it’s something that can bloom everywhere, even on seaside piers. Every twist, turn, and leap is an opportunity to express your love for this beautiful art form, and share it with the world.
Seagulls, Swans and the Ballet of Nature
It wouldn’t be a perfect Worthing adventure without a splash of nature, would it? The seaside always brings a delightful dose of wildness, and Worthing is no exception. I had the best time observing the graceful swans swimming serenely in the harbour and watching the mischievous seagulls swoop and dive in their aerial ballet. They say nature inspires art, and I can’t think of a more perfect inspiration than a beautiful bird soaring gracefully through the air!

Bringing Ballet Home
This Worthing adventure has been all about finding the ballet in unexpected places - from the whimsical beauty of the seaside pier to the soaring grace of seagulls in flight. But my journey in Worthing was not just about exploring, it was also about sharing the joy of ballet. Whether it's pirouetteing on the beach, teaching the basics of ballet, or inspiring a child to reach for the stars in a pink tutu, I am here to make everyone fall in love with this beautiful art form.
Keep a look out on www.pink-tutu.com for my Worthing photos and tutorials on how to do your own beach ballerina moves, it's a great low-impact workout!
Let's face it - there's something incredibly empowering about slipping on a tutu and spinning around. It reminds us that we all have the potential to be dancers in our own right.
As always, my dears, stay curious, embrace the whimsy, and never forget to twirl. And who knows, maybe we’ll be spreading the pink tutu love in Worthing or another wonderful town soon.
Love and tutus,
Emma.
