Ballerina ♥

Ever since I can remember, going to see The Nutcracker during the festive season was one of the things that my sister, my mother and I all had on our individual to-do list. Most people would not really picture me as the 'ballet type' girl (if that exists at all). However I suppose it is there where I would stop them and correct their perception of Dora. Growing up with a sister, who also loved this type of dancing made us have a close relationship as we would enter dancing competitions as a little team and perform shows with our hair gelled back in a bun with a million hair clips, which is never the best look. Even though the years go by, I still feel as young child at heart whilst I watch those ballerinas swirl around in their sparkling tutus and it is not until a few years ago that I learnt how remarkable it is to watch a story being told by the movements of someone and not with words. I went last weekend to watch The Nutcracker and it was certainly as wonderful as always. I know that ballet is not everyone's cup of tea, but I do recommend you going to see a show as you never know, you may end up enjoying it ♥
