Helloo my lovely darlings! Apologies for the delay in posting......it has been a very full week from BouBou's Birthday to work and ballet!
Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments and support as usual...every single one is most appreciated and I am catching up on the replies! Some of you may know that I have been taking a Beginners Ballet course for some time and it was the
Performing Arts End of Year Show on Friday 29th June 2012!
So together with other dance forms such as Flamenco, African, Contemporary and Belly Dancing, our
Ballet class took the stage at
the Brady Arts Centre in Whitechapel (East London) for a night of celebration with family and friends. Unfortunately I only have some practice and backstage photos, as my friends were unable to join us for the night, but on the plus side......at least the secret of how bad and clumsy a ballerina I really am shall stay hidden! Most importantly I really enjoyed performing with my ballet classmates, and the fluttering excitement of going on stage reminded me of my girlhood when I used to perform cultural dances! My friend Polly, who is beautifully passionate about dance, was taking front stage in performing the Flamenco as well as Ballet with us! If you happen to be a great dancer or a Ballerina then please do forgive me for my clumsy port de bras and rusty foot positions....eventhough I love dancing I must admit I don't have a natural talent for it and often lack hand-eye-body-etc-coordination skills. So without further ado......here is some photos of the End of Year Show evening and I hope you will like my ballerina look!

Besides Ballet and Birthday celebrations, I also received a lovely surprise from the sweet
Wendy at the Butterfly Balcony on BouBou's Birthday......she awarded me with the

Right.....I am off to get ready for a leaving do and a Birthday at the Dorsia tonight! Have a fabulously sweet weekend my darlings and enjoy the sunshine!
Until the next time,
