Adults participating in these classes should also wear comfortable clothes and bare feet or rubber-soled socks.

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. 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.

The joy of play & connection Ballet for babies? We’re so glad you asked.
