Hello my lovelies! It’s Emma here, ready to whisk you away on another whirlwind adventure in the world of pink tutus and pirouettes!
Today, I’m feeling particularly excited because I’m heading to Coalville, a quaint little town in Leicestershire that’s holding a special place in my heart – and I'm wearing a delux tutu! It’s a little known fact that Coalville actually boasts a thriving dance community, and today I’m going to be experiencing the magic firsthand!
I woke up this morning feeling the urge to spin, which, of course, means only one thing – I’m in for a day of ballet bliss! To top it off, I had a rather beautiful dream last night about dancing through meadows of wild flowers, with a cloud of pink tulle following me like a whimsical cloud. Naturally, I had to channel those magical vibes with an outfit worthy of my ballerina dreams – think sparkly pink tutu, a vintage cream cardigan, and my trusty ballet flats (don’t tell my shoe collection!).
You’ll find I’m no stranger to a bit of train travel, particularly when I’m embarking on a ballet adventure. It’s all about soaking up the scenic beauty, people-watching, and indulging in a little daydreaming – perfect fuel for my creative spirit! And let me tell you, the journey to Coalville was a real treat. I spent most of it lost in a book about famous ballerinas, soaking up all the inspiration I could.
My mission for today is simple – to immerse myself in Coalville's vibrant dance scene, and discover new talent, whether it’s at a local dance school or tucked away in a hidden performance space. I can’t wait to witness the passion and dedication these dancers possess. The fact that Coalville, known more for its coal mining past than its cultural scene, boasts such a strong dance community, speaks volumes to the power of expression through movement. It’s just the sort of hidden gem I love to uncover!
Speaking of gems, Coalville has a real hidden treasure in its town park, a gorgeous expanse of green space overflowing with nature’s delights. It’s a beautiful haven where birds chirp merrily in the sunshine, and butterflies dance in a kaleidoscope of colours. You just know, my lovelies, I had to take a break from my dance pilgrimage and explore the beauty of it all!
And what better way to reconnect with nature than with a picnic basket full of delightful treats? I packed some yummy homemade sandwiches (my grandmother’s secret recipe!), a flask of English Breakfast tea (because it’s just a bit of a ballet ritual), and a handful of my favourite pink candy hearts, of course! Let’s be honest, it’s just not a pink tutu pilgrimage without a sprinkle of sweetness!
So, what are my first impressions of Coalville? The place oozes charm! The locals are incredibly welcoming, the atmosphere is vibrant and the spirit of creativity feels absolutely contagious! And the little shops are just bursting with delightful treasures waiting to be discovered. Just the kind of place you’d imagine would inspire some fabulous dance moves, right?
Speaking of inspiration, it wouldn't be a proper "Emma-on-the-go" blog post without me leaving you with some advice, a dose of positivity, and a dash of tutu-licious dreams. Let me tell you, today’s adventures in Coalville have ignited my creativity and passion even further. And that’s what I want to inspire in all of you! No matter what you do, let your passion for life and dance flow through your veins, as wild and free as a bird taking flight.
As I continue on my journey through the enchanting world of Coalville’s dance scene, I’ll keep you posted on all the twirling wonders I find along the way. But for now, my dear lovelies, go out there, put on a pink tutu, and unleash the beautiful ballerina within you. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t dance – because the world needs your graceful moves, and trust me, it will be a whole lot more vibrant with you in the centre stage!
Stay tuned, my lovelies! This tutu-filled adventure is just getting started…
Yours always in a tutu, Emma xx
