In classes at Tutu School, we use the stories of famous classical ballets to exercise both little bodies and big imaginations, and our carefully developed curriculum balances just the right amount of technical instruction with enrichment, creativity, and fun.

In the Primary Ballet Prep division we develop pure, fundamental ballet technique that will eventually allow our students to graduate to a more disciplined study of the craft – when their growing bodies are ready. In the meantime, we’ll continue to practice our pliés with a healthy helping of magical fun, thank you.

Classes in our Exploring Ballet division strike a perfect balance between structure and creativity. In this division we begin carefully laying the earliest foundation of ballet technique, but we always compliment our class work with fun, imaginative activities that keep young dancers captivated, engaged, and utterly in love with ballet.

Exercise little bodies and nurture big imaginations. Our goal in our Tutu Toddlers division is to work with you to engage your little one and give them an early experience with ballet they’ll never forget. Why? Because at Tutu School we believe that exposing children at a very early age to creativity, movement, and music can only lead to good things.

Ballet for babies? We’re so glad you asked. It’s never too early to expose little ones to movement and music, and Baby Ballet is a carefully curated curriculum for infants aged 6-18 months, with lots of opportunities to foster both caregiver bonding and age-appropriate development.

Tutu School only teaches students up to eight years-old, specifically because eight is an appropriate age to start more serious training. Prior to that, a young dancer engaging in training at too young an age will develop bad habits that can take a very long time to unlearn.

Midway through our Exploring Ballet division, for example, children at Tutu School start learning basic barre exercises. Even then, though, they continue to also spend part of each class dancing like butterflies, learning ballet stories, and just being generally creative.

Caregiver participation is required in our Tutu Toddlers division. The role of the caregiver is to support their little dancer, as much as or as little as they need. Supporting your dancer may include physical support (hand holding), cognitive support (helping your dancer with decision-making such as finding a spot at the wall or selecting a prop), and/or emotional support (offering comfort and encouragement because trying new things takes courage and lots of practice).

Caregiver participation is required in our Baby Ballet division. The role of the caregiver is to support their little dancer, as much or as little as they need. Supporting your baby may include physical support (holding your baby in your arms or hand holding), cognitive support (helping your dancer practice decision-making by selecting props), and/or emotional support (offering comfort and encouragement because trying new things takes courage and lots of practice).
