#PinkTutuWorld Ballet on Planet Earth on 2029-06-20

Hello darlings! It's Wednesday again, and you know what that means… time for a brand-new Pink Tutu World blog post!

This week, I'm back on dear old Planet Earth, which I've gotta say is feeling particularly lush after my recent galactic adventures. It's the kind of weather that makes you want to twirl in your favourite tutu, which I promptly did, obviously. My trusty pink tutu, you understand, the one with the shimmery, holographic sequins that catches the sun's rays like a disco ball in a celestial meadow.

Now, before we delve into the thrilling ballet happenings on Planet Earth (spoiler alert: they are divine), let me tell you about the cosmic journey that brought me here.

After my dazzling debut in the Galaxy Ballet Grand Prix (ahem, won it, remember?), I was whisked away on a VIP spaceship to the glittering nebula of Cygnus. Talk about a showstopper! I met a real live star-born cygnet – that's a cosmic swan, darling! – and we shared a giggle over our mutual love for all things tutus. Imagine, a pink tutu dancing amongst the stardust, that's the life!

However, after all the celestial fun, it was time to come back to my terrestrial roots. The spaceship zipped me back down, leaving trails of rainbow glitter in its wake (they don’t call it “pink” space travel for nothing, love!).

But as much as I adore galactic voyages, there's something about coming back to Planet Earth, that truly makes me feel alive. Especially after a grand, space-age ballet adventure! This planet is bursting with culture and art, the energy is electric, and most importantly – they have fabulous high street shops!

My trip started in London, the undisputed ballet capital of the world. You wouldn't believe the incredible performances! The Royal Opera House is an architectural wonder, filled with chandeliers, red velvet and history. My head nearly spun with the brilliance of the dancers, it was that good. They were like feather-light fairies floating on air, all wrapped up in those exquisite, bespoke costumes (seriously, I need to add some more vintage-inspired outfits to my collection!).

I caught an astounding production of "Swan Lake" and just gasped at the story and the athleticism of the dancers. Oh, the elegance and beauty, it had me reaching for a tiara and wanting to dance under the moonlight! I must tell you all about it – the incredible costume changes, the swan makeup (so dramatic, so magical!), the delicate ballet steps, it's everything that makes ballet so extraordinary! And of course, no trip to London is complete without indulging in a delicious afternoon tea with all the fixings. Did you know I had a scone the size of a football? It was a work of art!

After the ballet, my best friend Alice and I hit up Oxford Street – oh, the shopping! A new season of tutus had arrived at Primark, and you wouldn't believe the deals they were offering. My favourite was a cerise pink tulle masterpiece that danced with every step!

Next, I hopped onto a train for a whirlwind trip to my lovely hometown, Derbyshire. I had a grand old time, revisiting the rolling hills, indulging in classic English delicacies – the best teacakes in the whole wide world, let me tell you, you have to try them – and of course, doing what I do best: exploring the ballet scene.

You might think, darling, "Derbyshire?" - what's so special about a place like Derbyshire? I'll tell you! There’s nothing quite like seeing ballet in a local, independent theatre! We found the cutest little venue, surrounded by greenery, and it truly felt like a magical, secluded haven. The audience was a joy - so passionate and enthusiastic.

The production was a fresh, fun, modern interpretation of "The Nutcracker", with all sorts of whimsical set pieces. And, guess what, I spotted a young ballet student wearing a pink tutu. Let me tell you, darling, my heart fluttered. It felt so heartwarming to see the spark of a budding tutu-wearing ballerina, ready to light up the stage. I practically cried with joy! She looked like such a happy little star in the making.

Now, about that magical date, June 20th... What awaits? It's the "Tutu and Tiara Ball" at the Derby Cathedral, of course! We're talking ballet inspired fashion, ballroom dancing, an entire symphony dedicated to the tutu, and a divine buffet. It's the ultimate pink tulle celebration – and trust me, darling, you wouldn’t miss this for the world!

This whole adventure has been a real fairytale – one that I'm going to make sure continues! After all, as the founder of Pink Tutu World, I aim to make sure that the whole universe understands the joy of ballet and, dare I say, pink tutus!

And just in case you didn’t know - tutu-tiful and bold, never be shy, is my motto!

Until next Wednesday, darlings! Keep shining!

Lots of love,
