Hello darlings! Your favourite tutu-toting, pink-loving, sequin-sparkling queen is back with a brand new post! Today's adventure takes us to the charming town of Coulsdon, just a hop, skip, and a tutu twirl away from London. As you know, I'm all about exploring new places, spreading the pink tutu gospel, and discovering the joy of dance wherever I go. And let me tell you, Coulsdon definitely delivered on the "joy" front!
The journey began in true Pink Tutu fashion: a scenic train ride. You wouldn't believe the amount of curious stares I received! My fabulous pink tulle was fluttering in the wind, causing quite a stir amongst the morning commuters. But I wouldn't have it any other way, honey. Let those tutus fly!
Once I arrived in Coulsdon, I knew exactly where to go: the Coulsdon Town Hall, a beautiful Victorian building with an impressive ballroom. Now, you may be thinking, "What could a drag queen be doing in a ballroom?" Well, let me enlighten you! It turns out, Coulsdon is home to a fabulous little community theatre group called the Coulsdon Players, and they were putting on a production of "The Nutcracker"!
Of course, I had to be there. Not just to admire the costumes and the dancing, but to spread some Pink Tutu love. Before the show, I managed to snag a backstage tour. They let me try on some of their ballerina costumes, and trust me, darlings, they had a stunning collection! Feathers, sequins, velvet… it was every ballerina’s dream come true.
The performance itself was enchanting! The choreography was stunning, the music was breathtaking, and the dancers gave their all with such grace and passion. I couldn't help but get swept up in the magic of it all, and I knew then and there I had to take a ballet class. Thankfully, a little research led me to a wonderful studio called "Dance Dreams," tucked away in a quiet corner of Coulsdon. They offered everything from beginners' ballet to advanced pointe work, and even adult classes, perfect for this Tutu Queen!
After class, I decided to explore Coulsdon further. The town centre is just delightful, with independent shops and charming cafes. It even has a pink bakery! Talk about a dream come true for a girl like me! I bought myself a pink-frosted cupcake, because why not? And then, I took a little stroll around the stunning Coulsdon Common. It's such a beautiful green space, perfect for a tutu twirl or two.
Let's face it, Coulsdon may be a small town, but it has so much to offer, from its historic buildings to its bustling community to its commitment to the arts. And you know what else? It has more than one pink bakery. Two, to be exact! I had a pink donut, just because I couldn't resist.
I have to tell you, the people in Coulsdon were just amazing. So friendly and welcoming. Every time I twirled in my tutu, I got a smile and a "lovely dress!" This town really embraces all the beautiful, wonderful colours and uniqueness in people.
After a wonderful day exploring Coulsdon, I was exhausted but so happy. I hopped on the train back to Derbyshire, my pink tutu swirling in the breeze, I've got so many ideas for new tutu creations and pink fashion designs. I even met a woman on the train who was so excited about my pink tutu, she bought a ticket to go to the same "Dance Dreams" studio in Coulsdon! One step closer to my life goal of turning everyone pink! You see, it’s not about pink tutus, it's about celebrating individuality and unleashing the magic within. Everyone has a little pink tutu in their heart, waiting to be unleashed! Just embrace it and let it shine!
