#TutuBlog 2019-11-13 in Norwich with a american style tutu.

Hey loves! It's Emma, and I'm so excited to share another day of adventures with you! Today's post, number 8533 on the www.pink-tutu.com blog, takes us to the lovely city of Norwich! Now, this trip was a bit different. I actually left my car at home and took a splendid train journey. I adore train travel, there’s something so wonderfully old-fashioned about it. And besides, who can resist the romance of watching the English countryside whizz by as I sit comfortably with my ballet shoes and favourite book? 😊

Upon arriving in Norwich, I felt an instant love for the city. It’s got a fantastic mix of modern vibes with an enchanting medieval heart. It’s the perfect mix of cosmopolitan buzz with a sense of history. Plus, it just had a gorgeous, cozy, and friendly energy - which is perfect for a tutu-wearing girl! 😄

As soon as I landed in my gorgeous boutique hotel with its grand oak staircase, I had to get into a sparkly outfit that truly celebrated Norwich. My American-style tutu was perfect! This particular one, with a delicate tulle overlay in soft baby pink and some gorgeous little pink bow details, was inspired by those fabulous "sugar plum" ballerinas I adore watching on the West End stage. I paired it with a pale grey cashmere cardigan (I have to be practical in this unpredictable British weather, haha) and my darling pink leather ankle boots with bow ties - how can I resist a bow?! I simply could not walk around Norwich in any other ensemble. It felt both elegant and perfectly playful.

Now, to everyone thinking a tutu is outlandish in Norwich – think again! This was truly a "Pink Tutu Adventure" – you can wear it anywhere and it will always be a statement, whether you're exploring a new city, grabbing brunch with friends, or going to the theatre. That’s the wonderful thing about pink tutus. 😉

My first stop in Norwich was to visit the Norwich Cathedral – oh, it was simply breathtaking. Built in the 12th century, it has this incredible Romanesque architecture and the stained-glass windows are simply phenomenal. The silence and sheer peace within the cathedral felt serene. It was such a contrast from the buzz of the shopping streets, which is the beauty of Norwich – so much diversity!

And what’s a visit to a new town without indulging in some amazing food? Norwich has some fantastic little cafés and restaurants and the best thing was - most were absolutely tutu-friendly! 😁 I discovered a little tea shop in Elm Hill with an enchanting little walled garden. It was a wonderful place to rest my weary legs after a day of exploring!

Speaking of rest, no ballet journey is complete without some time for stretching. I ventured into one of the many beautiful, historical buildings with a delightful ballet studio in its depths! There, surrounded by stained-glass windows, I took an amazing beginner's ballet class with a local teacher - so friendly and so enthusiastic! It's great to stay in shape and also to discover the magic of ballet through new instructors!

I learned a fun, energetic choreography for a piece that’s all about celebrating life’s simple joys. I absolutely loved it - it really allowed me to express my inner tutudance enthusiasm! 😊

### A Night Under the Stars (And Tutus)

In the evening, I booked a wonderful open-air ballet performance, and it was quite spectacular! It was the most perfect night under the stars with beautiful live music and dancers with the grace and beauty that made me fall in love with ballet in the first place. You could feel the joy radiating from the stage!

Norwich, thank you for a beautiful and memorable tutu-tastic adventure! You are truly a city for those who embrace life's beauty and all things pink, and even more so for those who embrace the power of the tutu and want to spread joy with every twirl. Remember, darlings, never let anyone stop you from achieving your dreams – be bold, be colourful, be a Tutu-Queen, be fabulous, and, most importantly, be yourself!

I hope you enjoyed this little journey with me today. Tune in tomorrow for another blog post about my upcoming trip - it’s all about horse riding and wild horses in the Lake District. Oh my! Get excited. See you then! 💕✨
