    Find your True Personality and Rediscover Yourself with Anke

    In this inspiring episode of Broche Banter, we dive into Anke’s incredible journey. Once a shy, quiet girl, she now shines on stage, inspiring others to believe that it’s never too late to start something new. During lockdown, Anke secretly signed up for an online ballet course. Not even her husband knew, as she thought ballet was just for little girls. But ballet soon became a powerful form of self- expression and now she can’t be a day without at least 20 minutes of dancing. Anke’s story is also a story about partnership. While she took dance lessons, her husband learned to play the piano. Eventually, he composed a heartfelt piece for her solo at the IABF. Together, they expressed life’s ups and downs through music and movement. Join us as we explore the courage it takes to embrace self-expression and follow your passions.

    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.

    Embracing Frustration with Artist Holly | Season 3 Episode 9

    This week, we’re joined by Holly, a self-taught artist and dedicated adult ballet dancer, who’s currently training to go en pointe. Together, we delve into the ever-relatable “taste gap”—the often frustrating space between where we are and where we aspire to be. Ballet brings its own unique challenges, and for adult dancers, it’s a rare pursuit that’s not always met with understanding or encouragement, unlike more typical hobbies like gym workouts or marathon training. Holly shares how she reframes challenges, like moments of frustration and confusion, into fuel for both her ballet journey and her art. This episode invites us to step outside our comfort zones, embrace imperfection, and remember that showing up is a victory on its own. Tune in for Holly’s inspiring insights and a refreshing reminder of the power of persistence. Listen in and be inspired to bridge your own taste gap!
