Ever wondered what happens behind the camera at Broche Ballet? In this exclusive eleven-minute tour, we take you backstage at our Broche Miami studio to show you the heart of our operations. Whether you are an adult dancer looking for organization inspiration or a fellow teacher curious about online instruction setups, this video offers a personal look at how we merge professional ballet training with a home-studio environment. You will see everything from Julie’s collection of tiaras and pointe shoe paint to the practical ways she organizes her dance wardrobe for maximum efficiency.
One of the most fascinating segments involves Julie’s approach to color theory and aesthetics. She demonstrates how she uses a color wheel to select the perfect combination of leotard and skirt, ensuring she looks professional and vibrant on screen. Visibility is a top priority for online learning, which is why Julie discusses her choice of pink tights for Zoom classes—providing the necessary contrast for students to clearly see every movement, from a sharp tendu to a smooth fondu. The studio setup is also highly functional, featuring a gym-hybrid layout that includes blackout curtains for controlled lighting and hurricane supplies for the Florida climate.
Beyond the logistics, this tour highlights the personal touches that keep a dancer motivated. Julie shares her 'shrine' of ballet-themed ornaments and carvings made by her father, emphasizing that a creative space should be filled with items that make you smile. From managing a long commute to preparing specialized footwear for a day of filming, this video captures the dedication required to run a premier online ballet platform.
