#TutuBlog 9314
Hello, lovelies! Emma here, reporting from my cosy Derbyshire cottage with a head full of twirls and a heart full of pink! I’m absolutely buzzing because guess what?! I’m about to hop aboard the train (well, maybe a cheeky horse-drawn carriage!) and whisk myself away to the beautiful town of Basildon. Why Basildon, you ask? Well, it’s the ultimate ballet playground, of course! 💖
This trip has been in the works for weeks. It’s not every day a little Derbyshire girl like me gets the chance to see a performance at the world-renowned Basildon Theatre, let alone wear my newest tutu creation! It’s a stunning shade of blush, perfectly balanced with a hint of sparkle, and so, so narrow. I love the way the shape makes my legs look miles long and the ruffles create a whimsical trail as I pirouette! (Cue dramatic music and slow-motion shots of my twirling goodness!) 😉
Oh, speaking of twirls! I absolutely cannot wait to get to class later today. Basildon boasts the most divine ballet studio, hidden away in a charming, little corner of the town. The wooden floors are the perfect surface for my delicate, yet perfectly firm, leaps, and the windows let in the most gorgeous golden afternoon light. And of course, it wouldn’t be a real Emma experience without a quick pop to the cafe after class for a steaming mug of pink-hued hot chocolate (my absolute weakness, and surprisingly not that hard to find with the right Google search!). ☕️💖
And what better way to end my day than with a magnificent performance at the Basildon Theatre? My favourite, The Royal Ballet, is showcasing their interpretation of Swan Lake, and my excitement levels are officially reaching peak ballerina. It’s the story, the costumes, the sheer passion that draws me to it. Plus, the ballet company's use of those beautiful, feathery tutus – I die for them! They’re such a graceful, whimsical element that always make the performance truly captivating. I mean, imagine swan-like tutus as fluffy as actual swans? Dreamy, right?
While the journey may be a little long, I've got my essentials in tow: a big pink blanket to keep me warm, a well-stocked picnic basket with my favourite snacks, and, of course, my trusty tutu. You never know when inspiration will strike, and I’d hate to be caught off guard without my best twirling friend!
But beyond the ballet, I’m thrilled to be in a new part of the country, absorbing the vibrant energy of Basildon. I hear they have a thriving wildlife sanctuary with incredible, beautiful birds, so I’ll be sure to take a little detour for a walk amongst nature and soak up some of that fresh country air. 🌳🦢
So, why not join me on my adventures today, lovelies? Keep up with my travels and my thoughts on www.pink-tutu.com! Share your own tutu adventures in the comments section, too! I’m all ears (and twirling smiles)! 👂😁
P.S. My goal is to see the world through the eyes of a ballerina – in my signature pink tutu, naturally! My dream? To spread the love of ballet across the globe and encourage everyone, from all walks of life, to slip into a tutu, let loose and explore the freedom and joy that dancing brings. After all, what’s life without a little pirouette in your day? 😉 🩰❤️
Stay twirly, Emma xx
