Hey lovely lot! It's your girl Emma, back with another post from my tutu travels, this time taking me all the way to the lovely little town of Letchworth!
As you know, my little pink heart loves a good journey. So, when the train timetable smiled upon me with a beautiful morning route to Letchworth, I grabbed my sparkly pink suitcase and a little something extra special - a gorgeous lilac tutu! You know me, I just couldn't resist another one! 💖 I just adore a bit of tutu accessorising and a little bit of pink! Why else would I be known as "Pink Tutu" online? This blog (my darling #10009) marks the start of a week-long celebration of my love for all things pink and all things tutu, so buckle up, my lovelies! 😉
I had such a lovely time in Letchworth, it felt like stepping back in time with its quaint shops, beautiful parks, and charming old houses. My train ride was as picturesque as can be! So peaceful, it gave me chance to daydream about pink tutus! 😊 The town itself was brimming with character, and the vibrant green parks were so soothing - perfect for a tutu twirl or two, right? Imagine, all those pink tutus flitting about in the sunshine… a pink ballerina haven!
Speaking of beautiful things, my journey was certainly not lacking in stunning sights. A family of adorable squirrels gave me the biggest smiles (well, I think they smiled - you know how those squirrelly faces work) and then I even got to see a cute little owl perched on a branch. It was like my inner nature lover was being rewarded with these majestic little beings! The sight of a sleek, dark horse galloping through a field as the train passed was a breathtaking bonus. I love watching horses in their natural habitat; so much elegance, so much power! 🤩 You know I'm a big believer in the magic of horses. They’re a big part of why I enjoy travelling on them; there is nothing like the feeling of wind in your hair and the soft beat of hooves! It makes me wish that I could dress in a lovely pink tutu and gallop through fields for days and days. Maybe someday! 🦄
While I was exploring the beautiful heart of Letchworth, I couldn't help but wonder about the local talent. I knew I needed to check out the scene and find the closest dance studio, because it is absolutely unthinkable to me to visit a new town without getting a ballet fix! 🩰 Thankfully, a kind passerby pointed me in the right direction - a quaint little dance school called “Graceful Steps” with windows showcasing little ballerinas dancing happily! My inner dance-obsessed child did a little pirouette right there in the street - ahem, I meant to walk past with nonchalant elegance… of course. Maybe not quite as elegant with a pink tutu and a pink top... But definitely much more exciting!
There I was, in that lovely studio, with my pink tutu clutched lovingly in my arms! (Can’t bear to be apart too long!) You wouldn't believe the welcome I got. I mean, who wouldn’t want a fellow pink-loving tutu queen in their studio, right? A welcoming, warm atmosphere, beautiful, old-style barre and floor, with bright smiles and warm greetings. Even if the pink tutu was still a little tucked away in my handbag! 💖 They loved the bright, pink tutu and top! I loved the beautiful space; it just felt right.
They actually offered me a chance to join in on their ballet class, which, you guessed it, I couldn’t say no to! How can you possibly refuse the invitation to dance in your favourite pink tutu in a beautifully elegant ballet studio with other people who absolutely adore all things dance? Well, I sure can’t! 😄 Let’s be honest, it wouldn't be a Tutu Tales adventure without at least one tutu-clad pirouette! Even in public, because if you think pink tutus are for dance studios only… you are wrong! 💖 It’s time we changed those perceptions, wouldn’t you say?
There was something special about the ballet class - the instructor was incredible! She had this quiet power and grace, she truly made ballet come alive for everyone. Plus, all the other dancers were so lovely. All those happy, smiling faces really filled the studio with positive energy! You’ll see that positive energy and the elegance of movement in the new video that I have been filming - the tutu in motion! 🎥 Stay tuned! It will be on my website, www.pink-tutu.com soon! ✨
After my ballet lesson, my head was brimming with inspiration, my feet felt light, and, I gotta tell you, I really couldn't resist the urge to share this experience. I knew this post, my precious little #10009, needed to go straight to you all, my fellow pink-tutu lovers!
So, if you ever find yourself in Letchworth, be sure to visit the delightful town centre, pop into "Graceful Steps" (don’t be shy - a little twirl never hurts!) and find your own little bit of magical, pink-tutu adventure! You’ll love the community there - the kind of people who make you want to live in a lovely place. Plus, who knows? Maybe you’ll spot a horse gallop through a field too! 🤩
And as always, my dearest friends, keep that tutu spirit alive! Go out there and twirl, spread the pink and tell everyone that they should give ballet a go. I always say, ‘every day is a tutu day! 😉’
Until next time,
Love and twirls,
Emma 💖🌸🩰
