About This Video
Welcome to a very special behind-the-scenes look at Broche Ballet. While our focus is usually on perfecting your relevé or mastering complex pirouette combinations, today we are pulling back the curtain on the heart of our studio: our community and our furry friends. In this heartwarming clip, we are joined by Tina, a beloved canine member of the Broche Ballet family, who hasn't been able to visit the studio in months due to her anxiety during local storms.
Dancers know that the environment of a ballet class is sacred. It is a place of discipline, where every tendu and dégagé is performed with intent. However, creating a supportive and joyful atmosphere is just as important as the technique itself. Sometimes, that means welcoming a four-legged friend into the space to lift everyone’s spirits. Tina’s absence was felt, but her return was made possible by finding the right balance of care during a stressful situation.
A common challenge for pet owners is managing anxiety during thunderstorms. As many of us transition from our daily routines to our time at the barre, we often carry the worries of our home life with us. This video highlights a practical solution that helped Tina remain calm and collected despite the weather: the use of CBD treats. By addressing her anxiety, her owner was able to bring her back into the studio setting without the usual mayhem.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that being a well-rounded dancer involves more than just physical training; it involves nurturing the soul and maintaining a healthy balance. Seeing the interaction between the dancers and Tina reminds us why we love what we do. It’s about more than just the perfect arabesque—it’s about the connections we make. Whether you are practicing your pointe work at home or joining us in the studio, we hope this sweet moment reminds you of the warmth within our ballet community.
