About This Video
Every great journey has a silent companion who provides the strength to keep going. For Julie, the founder of Broche Ballet, that companion was Otis. In this heartfelt video, we share the story of how a loyal greyhound became an integral part of building a global ballet community.
While ballet is often associated with the solitary discipline of practicing at the barre or the intense focus required for pointe work, the reality of entrepreneurship is that it requires a different kind of support system. Otis was there for every late-night editing session and every early-morning plié. Building Broche Ballet from the ground up meant navigating the complexities of online instruction and creating a space where adult dancers feel welcome.
Through the highs of launching new programs and the lows of business challenges, Otis provided a grounding presence. This tribute explores the intersection of personal life and professional passion, illustrating that the most successful ventures are often fueled by love and companionship. Whether you are working on your first pirouette or are an experienced dancer refining your arabesque, this story serves as a reminder to cherish the support systems that allow our creativity to flourish.
We invite you to step behind the scenes and see the soul of our studio. Otis wasn't just a pet; he was a silent partner who helped shape the inclusive, warm, and dedicated environment that Broche Ballet is known for today. His legacy lives on in every student who finds joy in their dancing and every teacher who shares their art with the world.
Join us as we celebrate a life that helped bring more ballet to the world and inspired us to keep dancing through every season of life.
