Hello my darling tutu lovers! It’s your girl, Emma, reporting live from the enchanting town of Wrexham. As the train journey from my beloved Derbyshire drew to a close, I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement. Wrexham, a place known for its history, football and charm – oh, and it just so happened to have a fab ballet school with an equally fab timetable for me to drop in on! 🩰
Of course, I wouldn't be Emma in her pink tutu if I didn't bring a touch of pink magic with me. The colour popped beautifully against the ancient stone buildings and cobblestone streets. Passers-by stopped and smiled, some even gave me a nod of approval for my commitment to the pink tutu life.
The morning started off in a whirlwind of beautiful pink – I always like to incorporate a splash of it into my dance wardrobe, be it a pretty headband, a vibrant pink crop top, or even pink glitter on my ballet shoes (because you can never have too much sparkle!) My red tutu, with its flamboyant swishy layers, provided the perfect juxtaposition against the delicate, graceful movements of the barre.
Ballet Delights in Wrexham
The ballet school was a haven of grace and passion. From the moment I stepped into the warm, sunlit studio, I felt at home. The energy was palpable, and the air buzzed with the rhythm of graceful steps and poised landings. There's nothing like the feeling of moving your body in perfect harmony, the gentle, flowing motions echoing through your core, connecting you to a world of art and expression.
My class was a mix of seasoned dancers and newbies just starting their ballet journey, and you know what? Everyone was so welcoming and encouraging! I loved it. Ballet isn't about perfection; it's about self-expression, passion, and a whole lot of fun! After the class, we shared tips, and I was even given a couple of pointers on a tricky move I'd been struggling with - talk about amazing support!
Wrexham Wanderlust
Later in the afternoon, I decided to take a leisurely walk through the bustling heart of Wrexham. It felt so alive and vibrant. As I strolled down the pedestrian-friendly streets, the historic architecture with its stunning gabled houses made for a captivating backdrop. There was even a little hidden courtyard where I enjoyed a lovely picnic. Who says travelling alone isn't glamorous? I treated myself to a couple of yummy pastries at a local bakery - don't you just love indulging in delicious treats during a solo trip?
I couldn't resist popping into the impressive Wrexham Library, its impressive Victorian facade making it truly remarkable. It had that classic charm I always love - high ceilings, stained-glass windows, and stacks and stacks of books - a true bibliophile's paradise!
A Love For Nature
No visit to Wales is complete without some time spent exploring its stunning natural landscapes. With its breathtaking views and rolling hills, Wales always takes my breath away. Today, I was treated to a gorgeous display of natural beauty while soaking in the panoramic views of the majestic Erddig Park. The beautiful woodland trails, quaint gardens and the grandeur of Erddig Mansion created a fairytale backdrop. The highlight, though, was spotting a magnificent red squirrel hopping from tree to tree, just like a furry little ballerina in action!
A Tutu-tiful Evening
To end my day, I caught a show at the historical Stiwt Theatre. It was an intimate setting that took me right back in time. The performance was captivating, showcasing incredible talent, vibrant stories and masterful stage craft. Every production needs a dose of pink and grace, and I was thrilled to be part of it with my sparkling pink tutu on full display! You know me, never shy to bring a little bit of pink joy to the theatre.
Wrexham, you were a dream come true! From ballet lessons that rekindled my love for dance to historical landmarks that made me feel like a time traveller, you delivered on all fronts. This Welsh haven, nestled among the hills, stole a piece of my heart and reminded me of the simple joys that life offers. Oh, and don’t even get me started on the cute pubs with their cozy fireplaces! Wrexham, you are a town that truly embraces the beauty of simplicity, making it the perfect setting to spread my tutu-ful message.
So, my darling tutu lovers, keep spreading the joy, embrace your inner ballerina and wear your pink tutu with pride! Remember, life is too short to wear boring clothes - unleash the pink tutu magic within and share your passion with the world.
See you on the next adventure,
Emma xx
