Tutu School is a quaint boutique ballet school, providing creative dance education for children ages 6 months to 8 years old. It’s a place where students can fully exercise their imaginations and their bodies, while caregivers are invited to be part of the process. We focus on age-appropriate motor, social, and emotional development, while introducing the fundamentals of ballet through playful exposure to classical music and the enchanting stories of famous ballets. Our core focus is weekly classes for our membership, with the exciting additions of our on site retail boutique, Ballet Birthday Parties and Playdates. We also excel in community engagement through a wide variety of events like: fairs, festivals, activity tables, holiday presentations and fundraisers.
