Hello, darlings! It's your favourite pink-tutu-loving ballet bunny, Emma, checking in from the charming town of Airdrie!
The crisp autumn air, the scent of woodsmoke and…well, a hint of Highland cows, to be honest! Yes, you read right – I’m living the dream – travelling through Scotland in a beautiful vintage carriage pulled by majestic Clydesdale horses! It’s like stepping out of a fairytale! 🐎
Now, let’s get down to the real reason you all are here (besides admiring my incredible pink tutu, obviously!) I had the absolute pleasure of seeing the most delightful ballet performance in Airdrie last night. It was a heartfelt, whimsical interpretation of Cinderella, with the most magnificent sets and costumes. The music was enchanting, the choreography breathtaking! They even had a playful little squirrel scene – how cute! 🐿️
Speaking of cute, the audience was just divine! I was practically bursting with joy to see so many people wearing vibrant pink tutus, my favourite shade, of course! And let me tell you, their ballet moves weren't half bad! Seeing these lovely ladies in their tutus, moving gracefully and happily, was enough to warm even the coldest Scottish heart! I mean, everyone can dance, right?!
You know, darling, Airdrie was a little bit of a surprise. It was so full of character! Quaint little shops brimming with charm, adorable cafes, and just the most lovely people. And yes, there were highland cows, as promised, just lazing around, enjoying the chilly breeze and the glorious countryside. I must say, the scenery has been quite magnificent – the hues of crimson and gold were simply breathtaking, almost worthy of my beloved pink! ✨
A day after seeing such an amazing ballet performance, I'd be lying if I said I didn't sneak off for a little practice of my own. (Who can resist, especially when you've got this amazing backdrop!?) The castle grounds, with its stone walls and rambling gardens, felt magical and oh-so-romantic… It's funny, though, when I closed my eyes, it felt as if I was gliding across the grand stage at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow! A girl can dream, can't she?
You see, I truly believe everyone deserves to feel the magical joy of dance, the exhilarating feeling of soaring through the air. It's about finding your inner grace and beauty, expressing yourself in a way only your body understands. So, my dears, embrace the tutu. It doesn’t matter what shape or size you are. Every one of us deserves to feel empowered and to unleash our own inner ballerina!
I, of course, always travel with my ballet shoes, my favourite pink tutu (it’s practically an extension of me at this point!) and an entire wardrobe full of my pink accessories! And this time I made a discovery, darling, the most adorable, furry little grey squirrel…well, it followed me everywhere! I think we became friends. 🥰
And don’t forget, dear friends! The wonderful ballet world doesn’t stop there. If you can't quite make it to a theatre show, why not give ballet street a go! The amazing ballet shows out there really are phenomenal!
So, that's me in Airdrie, enjoying my life with a pink tutu, spreading my ballet love and soaking up the charm of the Highlands. And to everyone who reads my blog - remember, don’t forget your pink tutus and please, don't be afraid to express yourselves, to dream, and to move! I’m sending you all virtual ballet kisses from my carriage. Until next time, dear readers!
Emma xoxo
