Hello my gorgeous ballet-loving bunnies! It's your favourite pink-tutu clad dancer, Emma, here with a brand new post, number 8202! Today we're travelling, and not just any travelling, oh no, this time we're heading to the heart of Kent on a journey of the most elegant kind, a train journey! I'm absolutely tickled pink to be taking the tracks to the lovely Rainham to enjoy a beautiful ballet performance, but first, I have to share my fabulous travelling outfit... because who can resist a bit of tulle on the go? 😉
A Train Journey in Tulle
I packed my trusty, trusty little pink tutu for the trip, of course! A tutu is the perfect travelling companion, it feels light and twirly on a train and is so versatile! I've teamed my pink pouffe with a super stylish black jumpsuit (and trust me, there's absolutely no compromise on comfort). 🤫 But let's be honest, the best thing about a tutu? It just instantly makes your trip to the theatre, or any journey really, more glamorous and fun! I swear I see more smiles every time I pop my tutu on...it's just contagious, I reckon! ✨
Speaking of the train journey, isn't it incredible how much wildlife you can see from a train window? Today's journey had me in awe! I spotted deer bounding across fields, a whole flock of birds dancing over the tracks (must be inspired by me!), and even some mischievous little squirrels! I couldn't help but think... wouldn't it be amazing if those squirrels wore teeny pink tutus, just imagine! 🥺 I think it would add some delightful twirls and extra flair to their little bushy tails.
Ballet in Rainham!
Arriving in Rainham, I felt such a lovely energy in the air, like the town was ready to welcome the theatre-goers! As I entered the theatre, I felt like Cinderella about to waltz into a royal ball! It was an absolutely exquisite little space! And oh my goodness, the show! The story of “Swan Lake” brought tears to my eyes. It's such a powerful, heart-wrenching masterpiece. It just shows that there is something truly magical about dance and ballet, even more so in such an intimate and wonderful theatre!
After the show, I wandered around the streets, basking in the gentle rain. It reminded me of something...oh, I remember now! The little girls who twirled and curtsied for me after the performance... such adorable and energetic young ballerinas! They were absolutely beaming and I felt an urge to show them just how a "real" ballerina would do a pirouette, even with a cup of tea in my hand. It's the sheer joy and spirit of dance that truly inspires me! 🩰
Wearing a Pink Tutu, Living the Ballet Life
I can't emphasise enough how much fun it is to dress up and immerse yourself in the ballet world! Ballet isn't just about dancing, it's about finding joy in movement, embracing elegance, and experiencing pure passion in all forms. So, tell me, what are you waiting for? Go put on your pink tutu! Embrace the fun, join a ballet class, visit a theatre performance, and make sure you send me pictures on Instagram (@emmapinktutu) - I can't wait to see you twirling and spinning your heart out! ✨
