Building a Ballet Community for Adult Dancers with Leigh Grant | Broche Banter Season 3 Episode 10

In this inspiring episode of Broche Banter, we're thrilled to welcome Leigh Grant, a passionate adult ballet teacher and choreographer who has built a space where adult dancers feel seen and appreciated. Leigh’s journey began at the young age of five, but like many, she took a long break and returned later in life, only to face the realization that a professional company wasn’t in her future. Instead of letting that dream go, she turned her disappointment into something powerful—her school, Cadenza Ballet, which she lovingly describes as “a love letter to her fellow adult dancers.” Tune in to hear Leigh’s journey through the ups and downs of her dance life and how her most challenging experiences led her to redefine ballet for adult dancers. Through Cadenza Ballet, Leigh shines a light on the artistry, talent, and resilience of adults who dedicate themselves to ballet. Leigh believes wholeheartedly that adult dancers are capable of creating memorable characters, performing at a high level, and expressing themselves as true artists. 📲 Links: Cadenza Ballet Website: www.cadenzaballet.org Cadenza Ballet on Instagram: @cadenza.ballet Cadenza Ballet YouTube Channel:  youtube.com/@cadenzaballet  Leigh’s Personal Instagram: @__thatballetgirl Adult Ballet Today Podcast Instagram: @adultballettoday
