Hampstead Tutu Tuesday: Where Disco Dreams Meet the Streets!
## Hampstead Tutu Tuesday - a Dance With Destiny? Hello my beautiful, fabulous dancers and Tutu enthusiasts! It's your girl, Serena, here, back with another hot-off-the-presses edition of "The Ballerina Blog"! Let's be real, ladies. There's something undeniably sassy about a tutu. Whether it's the iconic, knee-length classic that screams 'Swan Lake', the romantic, billowing romantic tutu you see in ballets like 'Giselle', or those playful, cheeky 'Le Corsaire' tutus, every single one has got a certain 'je ne sais quoi'. And frankly, when you're feeling like *that*, the world's your dance floor, darling! **Hampstead's Tutu Tuesday** - an experience to put you on Cloud Nine (well, at least the cloud part!) This week, my sassy little sequins, we're tackling one of my absolute favourite places: **Hampstead**. It's an enchanting town brimming with cute boutiques, Insta-worthy cafes and enough picturesque spots to fill your Insta-feed with *aesthetic perfection*. So, it's pretty clear to see why I decided this was the perfect location to bring some Tutu magic! ## Tutu Tuesdays in Hampstead: A Bit of Sparkle For Everyone Look, I'm not saying it's *easy* rocking a tutu outside the dance studio. Trust me, this little dancer has experienced it all – from perplexed stares from *those* joggers in the park to getting a gentle "Love the outfit, darlin', keep it moving!" from the friendly taxi drivers! But the looks are half the fun! I think this city desperately needs more sparkle - and frankly, more occasions to embrace our inner diva. So *that's* what Tutu Tuesday's about, my lovelies! **Now, where do we even start?** There's a pretty amazing mix of *amazing* outfits going on at this fab location, and everyone's out there enjoying the atmosphere. Here are a few Tutu Tuesday highlights from this week: - There was the fabulous little dance school in Hampstead Village where the students absolutely OWNED their tutus. Little *misses* dancing around like fairies with glittery pink tiaras. Honestly, you just *knew* the local mums were going to be buying *lots* of tutu outfits after this! - Speaking of glitter, the Hampstead High Street looked dazzling this week. The amount of sparkle in the shops' windows, the glitzy hair accessories... I honestly felt like I'd been *transported* into the "Disco-Glitter-Tutu-World" - I *live* for this stuff, babes! - A highlight this week? Meeting the fabulous owner of "The Little Tutu Emporium," a new boutique on Flask Walk. She was wearing a classic 'Giselle' tutu in a dreamy shade of pale blue - utterly divine. Her advice: **Embrace your *unique* inner ballerina**. I am ALL for that attitude! - **But it's not *just* about the fashion.** The *amazing* energy is something you just have to experience, especially at The Prince of Wales pub. I met this absolute sweetheart there. She'd been rocking a 'Le Corsaire' tutu with a pink vintage jacket and *stunning* silver shoes. But here's the *best* part? She's a *retired* ballerina who took up ballet dancing after she'd had children! The point? It's never *too* late to embrace your tutu dreams - *amazing*, *right*? ## Tutu Tuesday Hampstead: The #DiscoSnail Joins The Fun We have *so much* fun with #DiscoSnail in Hampstead. He's been out and about, having the best time ever. Think *lots* of twirls and a little shimmy with the tourists.
