Sound familiar?
Classes where you never actually improve.
You show up, you follow along, but nobody explains why your arabesque isn't getting higher or what your core is actually supposed to do.
No clear path from here to there.
You want to get better — maybe even go en pointe someday — but there's no roadmap. Just random classes and hope.
"Open adult" classes that don't take you seriously.
Mixed levels, minimal corrections, combinations that fly by. You're expected to keep up, but nobody taught you how.
Feeling like everyone else knows what they're doing.
You're in the back corner, lost in the combination, wondering if you'll ever feel like you belong.
You don't need more classes. You need better instruction.
This is what we built.
Broche Ballet is built on a simple belief: adult ballet students deserve the same depth of instruction that serious programs provide — explained in a way that adults actually understand.
Instruction that explains the "why"
Not just "engage your core" — but which muscles, how to find them, and why it matters for your balance. Every class breaks down technique from multiple angles so you can self-correct at home.
50+ structured programs — your path is clear
From Sticky Buns (your first 8 weeks) to Journey to Pointe (637 videos, 214 hours), every program tells you exactly what to work on and in what order. No more guessing.
7,200+ classes and growing
Barre, center, turns, jumps, flexibility, strength, pointe, musicality, artistry — an entire curriculum, not a handful of classes. New content added regularly.
Other platforms welcome you. Broche teaches you.
The Broche Approach
Instruction That Takes You Seriously
Detailed explanations of every movement — the mechanics, the muscles, the "why." Multiple angles and demonstrations so you can learn correctly, even at home. This isn't a follow-along workout. It's real ballet training.
Always Know What's Next
50+ programs from beginner to advanced. Each one tells you exactly what to work on, in what order, and how long it takes. Whether your goal is better posture, stronger technique, or going en pointe — there's a program for you.
Progress You Can Actually Feel
Our students don't just feel good — they get measurably better. Better posture their friends notice. Turns they never thought they could do. For some, pointe shoes they never imagined they'd wear.
Getting started is simple.

What Broche dancers are saying
"I was skeptical, but now I'm hooked!"
Initially, I was not convinced. But I needed help to get back en pointe. Julie gave me confidence by giving me targeted exercises and explanations about how bodies work. I love the details in the explanations and breaking things down into small steps. Julie's way of instructing, with her focus on exploration and curiosity with lots of kindness and humour — I am hooked!
"More improvement in 12 weeks than one year of local class"
At the end of 2021, 30+ years after my last class, I was thrilled to find an adult studio ballet class but it wasn't what I hoped. There wasn't much serious instruction — our teacher even laughed when a student asked about going en pointe! Shortly after, I discovered Broche Ballet. I've seen more improvement in 12 weeks than I did in ONE YEAR of local pointe class.
"I NEVER thought it would happen"
When I first put pointe shoes on I couldn't get over how beautiful those shoes were. Three years ago this was just a dream. I NEVER thought it would happen. I thought I was a beginner and too old. But Julie and the inspiration of other Broche ballerinas made the impossible possible. I now consider myself a real ballerina.
"My husband has noticed my newfound joy"
I am a nearly 60-year-old who left the 9-to-5 and finally had time to explore learning ballet. Over the past five months, I've learned to do things I couldn't before. I feel stronger with improved posture, balance, and core strength. My husband has noticed my newfound joy and is happy I've found such an uplifting group to dance with.
"The classes here helped me a lot for technique — so I can follow better in group classes."
"I have learned more from you than I learned in company and even the professional classes I have taken. I learned to do, not the why, and many times not the nuts and bolts."
"I am balancing and doing releves again! I am so excited! It has been a long road, but your foot exercises have been better than PT to be honest!"
"I am so glad that I found you! What a blessing to be instructed by such a caring, passionate, smart, and awesome teacher."
"You have so many fantastic teaching points, specific to adult ballet dancers. You have clarified so many technique questions."
"Your content, your teaching, and the sense of community and belonging that you foster is fantastic."
"Broche showed me the ballet basics that gave me the confidence to go to in-person classes."
"I had some skepticism that Broche Ballet would not have anything new. Even though I've only done a tiny fraction of the content, it had things I didn't see other places."
"I took my mixed level adult studio class and was feeling discouraged by how little time there is for breakdowns. I then decided to practice on demand, and got such a deep felt sense of how to work with these concepts in my body!"
"These explanations are so well done; perfect information density. Julie is the first dance instructor whose lectures do not leave me tuning out."
"I'm French, living in France, I have access to so many ballet classes. But yours are my favorites."
"Julie is such an amazing teacher who makes ballet so enjoyable. Everything is explained so well and the vibe is always uplifting and encouraging."
"You created a place where I can do ballet with my broken body and extra weight after cancer treatment. And be happy."
"When I tell people in my in-person studio classes that I am also learning online, they sort of smile politely. They don't realize that most of my progress is coming from Broche!"
"Practicing at home has absolutely improved my in-studio dancing. My teacher has noticed my technique is better maintained week to week."
"You have been such an invaluable resource as I come back to dance after 15+ years. Your adult-centric pedagogy has helped the form feel that much more inclusive."
"The regular Silver Swan classes were not providing enough technical detail. Then I found Broche and haven't looked back! No-one else teaches in the way you do Julie."
"Your program is insanely comprehensive — I don't think anyone out there is doing what you are doing in such an organized, thoughtful and energetic way, BRAVO!"
"One of the things I am most proud of accomplishing thanks to Broche Ballet is going en pointe! This was not something I thought I could do as an adult."
"You have so many options, great tips, and explain things in such a way you cannot usually get in a studio."
"I also just want to say a huge thank you! Having the ability to go en pointe means so much to me. Also your website is literally so good. So so good."
"You are an AMAZING teacher. The attention you give to small details is more than I can get in my studio classes."
"A big thank you for your motivation and providing excellent teaching skills on my pointe journey!"
