The Broche Philosophy

We’re A Ballet School, Just For Grownups

At Broche Ballet, we know that ballet isn’t just for kids. It’s for anyone who loves to dance, learn, and grow. That’s why we specialize in teaching ballet to adults of all levels and backgrounds.

We help you achieve your personal goals, whether you want to master the technique, dance on pointe, perform on stage, or simply enjoy the beauty and grace of ballet.

Grownups can become amazing dancers with the right mindset, guidance, and practice. We don’t let age, experience, or limitations stop us from pursuing our dreams.

We have fun, laugh at our mistakes, groan when things hurt, and most importantly, work hard to become who we never thought we could be. We dance in a supportive and respectful environment, bonding with other adult ballet students who share our passion and challenges. We also challenge ourselves to go beyond our comfort zone, develop self-confidence that we take with us outside of the studio, and express ourselves through movement.

Traditional Ballet, Reimagined for the Grownup Body & Mind

Forget the myth of "too late" and embrace your unique potential. At Broche, we understand that adult bodies and minds thrive with a different approach to ballet. You have distinct aspirations, challenges, and experiences shaping your journey.

While children may learn faster in some ways, adults excel in others. You possess the focus, dedication, and appreciation to dive deeper into the art form. We empower you to explore concepts thoughtfully, master skills patiently, and savor the process.

Tight hips? Car accident 5 years ago? Scoliosis? Can’t touch your toes? Crackly knees? No problem. We've seen it all and offer personalized guidance. Come as you are, and together, we'll unlock your ballet potential, regardless of where you are in life.

Positive and Inspiring Classes

Forget the drill sergeant stereotype. At Broche, positivity fuels progress. We blend rigorous technique and helpful guidance with uplifting encouragement. This fosters joy in the journey, pushing you towards your goals with enthusiasm and resilience.

Our classes:

  • Empower you to overcome challenges with confidence and grace.

  • Spark intrinsic motivation, making progress feel effortless.

  • Turn practice into a pleasure, leaving you eager for your next session.

Leave frustration behind and discover the joy of becoming the dancer you’ve always dreamt of being.

Developing Discipline & Practice

Learning ballet as an adult is amazing, but remember, just like building sandcastles at the beach, it takes a little practice to make them perfect! 

Don't worry, you don't have to practice all day (grown-ups have busy lives too!). Even short practice sessions at home with our online programs can help you master those cool ballet moves you see in class.

Think of it like learning a new song on the piano! You wouldn't expect to play it perfectly the first time. The more you practice, the better you get, and the more fun it becomes!

We help you practice at your own pace, just like building your sandcastle taller and taller. Whether you're learning fancy arm movements or trying to stretch your toes a little further, we're here to cheer you on every step of the way!

Taming the Tiny Perfectionist

Remember that little voice inside that wants everything to be perfect? Turns out, that same voice can sometimes stand in the way of ballet fun! Don't worry, though, because at Broche, we help you turn your perfectionism into a healthy love for dance.

Does this sound like you?

  • You have big ballet dreams, but starting or staying on track feels overwhelming.

  • People say you're "too perfect" and need to relax, but how?

  • You achieve a lot, but worry about mistakes and constantly want to improve everything.

  • Your inner critic whispers things like "You'll never be good enough" or "Why bother if you can't do it perfectly?"

It's okay! We've all been there. At Broche, we help you:

  • Swap limiting beliefs for powerful possibilities. Believe in your ability to learn and grow, step by step.

  • Turn your inner critic into your biggest cheerleader. Learn to love the journey, not just the final destination.

  • Celebrate progress, not perfection. Every step forward is a reason to be proud!

  • Discover the joy of dance. Ballet is fun, expressive, and empowering, not just about being perfect.

It’s more than just ballet, we build confidence for life.

At Broche, we:

  • Challenge negative thoughts that hold you back from your dreams.

  • Practice positive self-talk that motivates and cheers you on.

  • Reframe struggles as opportunities to learn and grow.

  • Help you find the space and time to make ballet a joyful part of your life.

Ready to turn perfectionism into your secret weapon?

Grow Beyond "I Can't" - Build Ballet Confidence!

Forget those voices saying you can't! At Broche, we help you unlock your inner superhero and blast away negative thoughts.

We all have a little voice inside that sometimes whispers doubts. But what if we could turn that voice into our biggest cheerleader?

At Broche, we help you:

  • Swap "I'm not good enough" for "I'm getting better every day!" Celebrate each step, big or small.

  • Turn "I don't have time" into "This is important to me!" Find space for the things that make you happy. 

  • Transform "I'm too tired" into "This energy boost is worth it!" Dig deep and discover hidden strength.

  • Change "I don't have space" to "Let's get creative!" Make ballet work for your life, not the other way around. ‍

  • Replace "I don't want to let others down" with "I put myself first!" Take care of yourself, so you can shine even brighter.

  • Reframe "I can't do this" into "This is a fun challenge!" Embrace the journey and learn from every step.

  • Convert "This is hard" into "This makes me stronger!" Believe in yourself and grow in amazing ways.

Ballet is more than just dance, it's a confidence booster for life!

💥So happy I found this channel; 💜
I started dancing again after a very long break; and most dance “teachers” can’t train grown up dancers without assuming that everyone has the same abilities as they do. 📕
I’ve had many set backs and frustrations as well as injuries from poor technique. I love your information! 👍🏻
