#TutuBlog 2021-01-19 in Borehamwood with a pink tutu.

Hello darlings! Emma here, your favourite Derbyshire ballerina and tutu aficionado, ready to whisk you away to the glamorous world of pink tutus and twirling. Today, I'm ditching the Derbyshire hills for the bustle of Borehamwood, a town brimming with creative energy. Why Borehamwood? Because, my lovelies, it's a haven for all things theatre!

Imagine this, a chilly morning, a hot cuppa in hand, and a fabulous pink tutu swaying gently in the breeze as I hop on a vintage steam train for the journey south. Ah, the magic of the railways. The gentle clickety-clack, the steamy whispers of bygone days, and the endless possibilities.

Now, let's talk pink tutus. For this trip, I've chosen a vintage silk tutu with delicate layers of tulle and a soft rose pink hue that evokes a romantic ballet. It shimmers like a whispered promise, just waiting for the stage lights to kiss its delicate fabric. A ballerina’s gotta look good, right?

Reaching Borehamwood, I feel a familiar buzz of excitement. This town's atmosphere vibrates with creativity. It's a hub for filming and theatrical productions, a melting pot of art and imagination. Just picturing myself gliding across a grand stage in my pink tutu sets my heart aflame.

As a ballet devotee, the heart of my Borehamwood trip is a splendid evening at a world-class theatre production. The excitement builds as the curtains rise, revealing the set, the performers dressed in lavish costumes, the lighting that casts an otherworldly glow. I can almost taste the energy and feel the thrumming music pulsating through the air.

But ballet isn’t only about grand productions. The true magic lies in the everyday: the quiet dedication in a ballet class, the shared laughter with fellow dancers, the gentle sway of a graceful arm as we perfect our moves. Tomorrow, I'll be taking a beginner ballet class, and I'm so excited to share the joy of this elegant art with new dancers.

And it's not just about the studio. I'm also thrilled to explore the countryside surrounding Borehamwood. A touch of wildlife amidst the city. Nothing beats a peaceful walk in a serene nature reserve after a long day at the ballet, admiring the beauty of our feathered friends.

And my dears, let’s not forget my mission. My goal is to spread the love of pink tutus and ballet across the globe. Imagine the world bathed in the gentle, feminine glow of pink tulle. Just the thought makes my heart flutter!

This is a life dedicated to grace, art, and, of course, a splash of pink. Follow along with me, my darlings, on www.pink-tutu.com and let's transform the world one pink tutu at a time.

Love and tutus, Emma

Good morning, my darlings! It's a glorious morning in Borehamwood, and the energy is simply electrifying. The sunshine's streaming through my hotel window, painting everything with a warm golden glow, just like the shimmer of my pink tutu!

The day has just begun, and I'm already sinking my toes into a new adventure. Remember, I’m here not just for ballet but to immerse myself in all things Borehamwood. And what better way to do that than a morning horseback ride through the rolling countryside?

Think about it: a graceful ballet dancer and a majestic steed – it’s the perfect combination for an unforgettable experience. This morning, I was whisked away to a nearby riding school, where I met a magnificent grey mare named “Pixie.”

Let me tell you, riding a horse is a completely different kind of grace than dancing on pointe shoes. There’s a powerful rhythm, a subtle connection with the animal, and an unexpected sense of freedom. Imagine a gentle breeze ruffling your hair as you gallop across a field, the world rushing past in a blur of greens and blues.

This equestrian escapade is a perfect counterpoint to yesterday's ballet-filled evening. It’s a gentle reminder that a life of beauty and adventure isn't just about graceful twirls on a stage – it's about embracing all that life throws our way.

Now, onto the day’s highlight – a beginners ballet class with the most enchanting instructor, Ms. Daphne, who has the patience of a saint. The class is filled with bright and beautiful souls, each with their own story to tell, each yearning to express themselves through the elegant language of ballet.

I feel blessed to be sharing this journey with them. From the graceful limbering exercises to the effortless steps across the room, there's an air of mutual support and shared love for ballet. We're a group of individuals bound by the love for a common art form. And you know what I love the most? Their joy. Seeing the light in their eyes as they learn new moves is pure magic.

After our class, a delicious tea break with the class - freshly brewed, steaming cups filled with delicious tea, sweet cakes, and lots of laughing. This isn’t just about dancing but building bonds and spreading the love.

This journey has only just begun, my darlings. Stay tuned for more pink tutu magic, more inspiring ballet stories, and of course, lots of adventure.

Keep your toes pointed, and your hearts full of love! Emma
