#TutuBlog 2018-11-25 in Coalville with a delux tutu.

Hello my darlings! Emma here, back from a whirlwind weekend in Coalville, where, as always, pink reigned supreme. You all know how much I adore tutus, and this trip was all about the deluxe tutu, a creation so utterly divine it had me twirling with glee. But before we get to the fashion, let’s talk about the journey, shall we?

As always, my trusty steed carried me through the countryside. A brisk morning ride through the Derbyshire hills, with the crisp autumn air invigorating my soul, truly set the tone for this girly getaway. Arriving in Coalville, a little haven of hidden delights, I was met with the warmth of the community. You can feel the creative spirit humming in the air there.

But the main reason for my visit? Well, to be quite honest, it was a *tutu!* You see, I’m a big believer in showcasing the art of tutu design, and Coalville played host to an exhibition that simply had to be seen. Imagine, darling, a collection of tutus, from delicate tulle whispers to majestic layered confections, each a tiny masterpiece in itself. I must admit, my heart did skip a beat as I entered that hall.

My favourite was a majestic, cascading masterpiece, all shades of pink imaginable, layered like the petals of a blooming rose. I couldn't resist striking a pose in front of it, channeling my inner ballerina for a photoshoot. It truly is a tutu you dream about!

And of course, the highlight of my Coalville adventures? Why, the Tutu Tea Party of course! Now, you might think, what could possibly make a tea party more spectacular? Well, imagine an entire room decked in pink, tulle tables, floral accents, and a feast for the eyes and stomach, all accompanied by a fantastic ballet performance! You see, in Coalville, even tea parties are extra fabulous.

The ballet was, shall I say, utterly delightful! A whimsical performance with charming characters and a sweet storyline that was like watching a sugary ballet dream come to life. And don’t even get me started on the costumes. My darling, I’ve never seen such perfectly pink and frilly tutus!

Now, my lovely followers know my heart belongs to the stage and the dance floor, so the Coalville Ballet School naturally became my next stop. Imagine, a haven for budding ballerinas, complete with dance studios brimming with dreams, pirouettes, and - yes, you guessed it! - more tutus! I was captivated by the energy of the young dancers, their passion burning brighter than the spotlight. Watching them practice, so full of grace and dedication, reminded me why I fell in love with ballet in the first place.

Their dedication, you see, it just inspires me, and it reinforces my dream - the dream of seeing everyone in a pink tutu, the dream of bringing joy through movement, the dream of everyone experiencing the beauty of ballet. And in that ballet school, surrounded by all that pink, I could just see that dream coming true.

But it wouldn't be a true TutuBlog adventure without a sprinkle of something else, something off the beaten track. This time, I was captivated by the local wildlife sanctuary. Just outside of Coalville, hidden amongst the rolling hills, I found a haven for endangered species, a haven of green meadows, tranquil ponds, and, dare I say, a few pink flamingos! A real ballet of feathers! And believe me, those birds know how to strike a pose! It felt so peaceful and calm in that little corner of the world, far away from the noise and bustle of everyday life. A moment to pause, to breath, and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

Coalville, my dears, you have truly enchanted me with your charm and warmth. This little gem of a town offers so much to the soul, from ballet magic to natural beauty. And let's not forget the delectable pastries and the delightful cup of tea! There's just something about Coalville that puts a twirl in my step, a pink glow on my face, and makes me believe in the magic of ballet and all its wonders.

So until next time, keep twirling, keep dreaming, and always, always remember to embrace the pink in your life!

Until then, darling,

Emma
