Hello, darlings!
It's Wednesday, which means it's time for a new Pink Tutu Vienna post! I'm positively bubbling with excitement because I'm finally in Vienna! You know how I love to hop on a train and go exploring, and this week, I've been whisked away to the enchanting city of Vienna. Itās so different to Derbyshire, but equally captivating. The beautiful architecture, the elegant atmosphere, the cobblestone streetsā¦ itās like a storybook come to life! And the best part? Thereās a wonderful dance energy in the air.
But first, letās catch up on all things pink tutu-related!
The Tale of the Tutu
Today's pink tutu story starts in Londonās Victoria Station. I love the train! A journey of any distance feels like a whimsical adventure. On this trip, I've donned a beautiful, bright pink tutu - perfect for adding a pop of colour to my travels. I do get some curious looks, but thatās just part of the fun! You know me, darling - itās all about embracing life in your own unique way. Itās all part of my "spread the tutu love" campaign! And Viennaās already proving to be a brilliant place for a pink tutu-wearing ballerina.
A Day in Vienna
Let me tell you, Vienna is a wonderland for dance lovers like me. Yesterday, I treated myself to a visit to the exquisite Vienna State Opera. Now, this place is something else entirely. It's grand, itās historical, and itās brimming with culture! And, of course, I found the perfect opportunity to twirl. The grand hallās soaring ceilings and stunning chandeliers make it the most enchanting space to twirl, believe me. And did you know, Vienna has one of the oldest opera houses in the world! That makes this pink tutu ballerina feel truly at home!
I know you're all keen for the fashion updates, and I havenāt let you down! Yesterday, after my visit to the Vienna State Opera, I popped into the fabulous āBoulevard der Wiener Modeā, where I discovered a truly sensational, feather-trimmed jacket that I just had to add to my collection. I canāt wait to pair it with a classic, pale pink tutu for an elegant look that's perfect for exploring Vienna's hidden gems.
Speaking of hidden gems, I stumbled upon the most charming little ballet studio just off the bustling Graben street. The scent of leather and wood mixed with the gentle rhythm of the music lured me inside. And oh my, it was such a treat! There was a beautiful sense of history, a touch of tradition. They teach ballet, and they were happy for me to pop in for a few spins, it felt amazing to stretch and flow.
Viennaās Ballet Legacy: From Past to Present
Vienna has such a rich ballet history! Did you know, Vienna is home to the renowned Vienna State Ballet, and it's one of the oldest ballet companies in the world? Itās like stepping back in time to a world of tutus and ballet shoes. I'm positively giddy thinking about seeing a performance at the Vienna State Ballet this week! I hear it's magical.
And as if that weren't enough, the Stadt Theater also hosts beautiful shows. Viennaās got so much to offer in the world of dance, itās truly wonderful! But it's not all just ballet performances and studios - thereās a real street dance culture too. Last night, I saw some of Viennaās street dance performers in the beautiful public square outside the City Hall. They were so full of life and energy, with their graceful moves and rhythmic expressions - a beautiful display of talent.
Riding in Style: Onwards to Adventure
One of my favorite things about Vienna is the way that nature seamlessly weaves its way through the city. There are beautiful green spaces like Schƶnbrunn Palace gardens, with beautiful flowers and trees, perfect for twirling under the sunny Viennese sky! And of course, no trip to Vienna would be complete without a ride on one of the magnificent Fiaker, those horse-drawn carriages. Imagine it: my pink tutu gracefully twirling, against the backdrop of Vienna's charm!
Today, Iām off on an exciting journey to explore the Vienna Woods. I hear theyāre quite simply beautiful - picture sun dappled trails, gentle brooks, and secret paths to be discovered! I'll be sharing the whole journey in a dedicated Instagram post tomorrow - follow me there for an inside look!
Vienna - Where Dreams Come True (And Tutu Love Thrives!)
I must say, Vienna truly is a dream destination for any ballerina - or, for anyone who loves the beauty of dance and all things pink! So far, I've been enchanted by the Viennese spirit of creativity, grace, and elegance, and I know the rest of the week promises even more delightful experiences.
Coming Up Soon...
Oh, and while weāre on the subject of delights, my next Pink Tutu blog will feature a sneak peek into Viennaās fashion scene and a wonderful little local store that's overflowing with vintage finds ā perfect for inspiring my next pink tutu outfits! And, as usual, we'll explore all the delights Vienna has to offer for dancers - be it a visit to the famous dance museums or some amazing performances at the Hofburg Theater!
Until then, happy dancing and may your life be filled with pink tutus and endless twirls!
With much love and twirls, Emma xx
