We can’t wait to meet our Baby Brocherino
Dear Brocherinas,
As my baby’s arrival approaches in mid-January, I want to share what’s next for all of us for the first few months of 2026!
Many of you have been with me for years, and your loyalty, encouragement, and presence mean so much. Thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate my pas de deux with baby brocherino into the next season together.
While I take some time to become a new mom, I want to make sure you still feel cared for and supported in your ballet journey.
As long as all continues well and healthy with my pregnancy, here’s everything I've got cooking for classes, memberships, and special things coming up.

Zoom Classes & Memberships
Zoom Classes: Continue on their (as much as possible) regular schedule through December 6. After that, I’ll be away from regular teaching until at least April.
Holiday Parties: As long as I haven’t had the baby yet, join our annual gatherings on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day.
Memberships:
If you are on an On-Demand monthly or annual membership, your membership will continue without any change. You’ll have access to our library of nearly 8,000 videos, brand new programs to guide you through the new year (see more details below).
If you are on a grandfathered Unlimited Membership, on December 7, all Unlimited Zoom memberships will automatically shift to $25/month On-Demand memberships. Your membership will be prorated for the remainder of December, with your new billing date of the 7th going forward. Prefer to cancel? You can do so on your account page. Cancel after your November bill comes to have unlimited access through the end of the live schedule. When I return to live teaching in the spring, you’ll have the option to re-activate your current grandfathered rate for Unlimited Zoom. Please know your loyalty over these years means so much to me. Having said that, it is difficult to predict the classes that I will be able to offer, so you’ll be able to choose if you prefer to simply join Zoom with Day Passes, or re-activate your Unlimited Membership rate.
✨ Programs for While I’m Away
To keep you dancing and motivated while I’m out, I’ve designed several new 90-day Programs. These structured plans balance the daily practice with the same well-rounded approach as our live Zoom calendar to give you a familiar structure in your week. These will all release in December:
Level 2, 3, and 4 Daily Practice
Pointe Levels 2, 3, and 4
Serious Strength
Basic Flexibility
Beauty & Grace
Mindset & Self-Care
🎄 Bonus: For December, enjoy a Holiday Advent Calendar featuring my favorite Christmas classes, variations, and celebrations!
Overwhelmed by options? Join me for free “choose your adventure” Sessions!
Dec 14 & 21 (Sundays at 12pm Eastern): Free group sessions to help you pick the right program. Hop in, tell me about your goals, and I’ll recommend which program is best for you.
Dec 8–22: Prefer 1:1 guidance? Book a Custom Plan session if you’d like me to design a tailor-made custom plan just for you.
New Videos Weekly
New videos will continue to release weekly! We have amazing content coming out weekly from some of our good friends in ballet, including Madame Olga, The Pointe Doc, India Rose and Allie Christensen to give you fresh new ways to work on your training.
You will also be able to learn the Garland Dance from Sleeping Beauty with Julie, with new episodes dropping weekly!
Motivation & Support While I’m Away
You won’t be on your own! My assistant and longtime Brocherina will answer emails and forum questions so you always have support. Whether billing or website issues or where to look for something on-demand, she’ll be there for you!
🤝 Stay Connected: Sunday Accountability Check-Ins
Every 2nd Sunday, 12–1pm Eastern, members can join free Zoom accountability sessions. These check-ins are a great way to stay motivated, stay connected with the community, and get class suggestions from fellow Brocherinas who know the On-Demand library inside and out.
And for fun, grab your stickers!
Each new 90-day program includes with a printable PDF planner. Grab a sticker pack and stay motivated all winter!
🩰 Beginner Pointe Cohort Timeline
If pointe is your dream—don’t wait! Begin the Journey to Pointe Program no later than December. It typically takes 4–6 months to complete the program.
My hope is to open the next Pointe Cohort applications in late April 2026.
Want more personalized guidance? Consider booking a Foot 360 Consultation in November or December.
🌟 Spring Virtual Recital & Awards Ceremony
Let’s celebrate together this spring! I'd love to host a spring virtual recital and awards ceremony to celebrate your ballet journeys and to give you something to work toward while I'm away.
Tentative Date: Sunday, April 26 at 12pm Eastern
Recital (optional): Perform a variation, artistry center combo, original choreography, or any class combo. You can perform it for us all live on Zoom, or send a recording for us to play.
Awards: For the first time, we’ll host a fun Awards & Recognition Ceremony with superlatives, milestones, and acknowledgments.
🎭 RSVP details coming soon.
📧 New Videos
Each week, a new video from some of your favorite instructors will be dropping onto the platform. Each week, dance with Madame Olga, Dr. Nina, the Pointe Doc, Allie Christiensen, and India Rose.
🎉 Baby Shower Costume Party
Join me for a fun costume party baby shower on Saturday, October 26th at 12pm Eastern. We’ll enjoy a little Halloween fun with costumes, games, and community celebration.
Costumes, games, and fun
No gifts needed. Please, no pressure! Your presence in the community is enough, truly! If you’d find joy in contributing a little goodie to our baby’s new life, here’s my registry link:
For members only & completely free.
👶 Community Forum & Baby Pics
I’ve created a special forum category for baby photos and updates. Join if you’d like to stay connected. No pressure if it’s not your thing. I don’t plan to share much on social media about the baby, but this space is for our Broche family to share in the joy together.
Thank you for being part of this community and for supporting me in this big transition. Your encouragement means the world to me, and I can’t wait to celebrate all the amazing things you’ll accomplish while I’m away.
