Hey there, my gorgeous tutu-loving friends! It's Emma, your daily dose of pink and pirouettes, writing to you live from the delightful seaside town of Broadstairs in Kent!
The train journey down was absolutely magical. The sun was shining, the countryside whizzing past, and I had my trusty travel companion: my trusty, pink ballet bag overflowing with my ballet necessities (ahem, and some essentials for a fabulous picnic, of course!). As always, I couldn't resist a little twirl in the aisle to the rhythmic clack of the wheels – you know me, always spreading the ballet love wherever I go!
I can't say no to a bit of seaside charm, and Broadstairs is exactly that: a quaint little haven with charming houses and the bluest sea I've ever seen. Oh, and let's not forget the yummy, fishy-smelling fish and chips I had on the pier, absolutely delightful!
Now, I can't let a visit to the coast pass without getting a little beach-y. Don't worry, my fabulous pink tutu is always with me, but I also packed a stunning floral printed swimsuit to really embrace the seaside vibe! After building a spectacular sandcastle with an array of shells (my inner child just couldn't resist), I had a delightful dip in the refreshing, turquoise waves. It was heavenly!
However, the best thing about my Broadstairs trip had to be the chance to check out the amazing ballet performances in town! As it turned out, Broadstairs actually has quite a few incredible ballet schools, with classes for beginners to professionals. It's been absolutely incredible witnessing the dedication and talent these young dancers possess. Seeing them move with such grace and precision really filled me with inspiration and just a touch of... envy!
I had to sneak in a little ballet class myself, naturally! Luckily, the school I found offered an introductory class, and let me tell you, my leg muscles were definitely screaming after the hour was up! But oh, it felt so good to be back in the studio, surrounded by others who share the same passion for this exquisite art form.
Now, before I depart this magical coastal paradise, I absolutely must talk about my new ballet discovery: an Italian tutu! Yep, you read that right! My dear friend Sophia sent me a picture of the most exquisite ballet outfit with an absolutely divine tutu, adorned with Italian silks and pearls. It was, simply put, breathtaking. It looked straight out of a vintage ballet poster, elegant yet daring, sophisticated yet whimsical! It just embodies the beautiful, vibrant spirit of Italian artistry. I’m on the hunt for my own!
And while I’m indulging my sartorial fantasies, I have to ask: are you guys thinking of rocking a pink tutu today? It’s so much fun, and the pink is just, well... perfectly me.
Don’t forget, darling tutu-lovers, to get out there and dance, embrace the pink, and never let anyone tell you your dreams are too big. And always remember: Life's a stage, and it's time to step up and twirl!
Until tomorrow,
Emma xoxo www.pink-tutu.com
