Our favorite places, partners, and family adventures in the neighborhood we\u2019ve called home for nearly a decade.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we first found our home in Downtown Cary nearly a decade ago, this neighborhood looked quite a bit different than it does today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, we were introduced to someone who was deeply invested in the vision for Downtown Cary and the kinds of businesses and experiences that could help bring that vision to life. I remember touring the area, driving down Chatham Street, and spotting a corner space with windows wrapping around two sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was just one small detail: it was still a Just Tires. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But even then, I could see it. With all those windows, that corner location, and the energy building around Downtown Cary, it somehow looked like the perfect Tutu School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine years after opening our doors, it has been pretty incredible to watch the neighborhood grow up around us. Parks and gathering spaces have opened. New restaurants, shops, and small businesses have arrived. Downtown Cary has become a destination for families in a way that was only beginning to take shape when we first moved in\u2014and we\u2019ve been so grateful to grow right alongside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, we\u2019ve made some wonderful neighbors and partners, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you\u2019re coming downtown for ballet class or looking for a reason to stay awhile afterward, here are a few of our favorite ways to make a Tutu School day into a Downtown Cary adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN CARY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Downtown Cary Park<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to talk about Downtown Cary today without starting here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few blocks from Tutu School, Downtown Cary Park has become an incredible gathering place for our community. There are playgrounds and spaces to splash and play, a dog park, lawns for spreading out, concerts and outdoor movies, special events, and programming for kiddos and grown-ups throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we don\u2019t just love visiting the park\u2014we love getting to bring Tutu School there, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few times each year, you\u2019ll find our teachers sharing a little ballet magic as part of Downtown Cary Park\u2019s programming, including its Toddler Tuesday<\/strong> events for some of its littlest visitors. We\u2019re already looking forward to returning in February with a special Valentine\u2019s-themed Tutu School class!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for things to do with kids in Downtown Cary, the park is an easy addition to your Tutu School Cary outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head over after class, let your dancer get a few more wiggles out, and enjoy one of the best parts of having Tutu School right in the heart of Downtown Cary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR A SWEET TREAT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We apparently believe strongly that ballet class pairs well with dessert\u2014and fortunately, Downtown Cary gives us plenty of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geluna Gelato<\/strong><\/a> is an especially sweet one for us because there\u2019s a Tutu School connection behind the counter: Geluna was opened by a former Tutu School family! Even Odette, our Tutu School bunny, has made a visit to sample the goods\u2014See here!<\/a> \ud83d\udc30\ud83c\udf68<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

FRESH. Local Ice Cream<\/strong><\/a> is another longtime Chatham Street favorite just a short walk from the studio. We\u2019ve had the opportunity to partner with them for Tutu School events over the years, making them another sweet part of our Downtown Cary community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then there\u2019s Once in a<\/strong> Blue Moon Bakery<\/strong><\/a>, whose treats have become part of countless celebrations inside our studio. Blue Moon is our Cary birthday-party partner, providing the cupcakes that help us celebrate our dancers on their special days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you\u2019re celebrating a birthday, marking a particularly wonderful ballet class, or simply deciding that Tuesday deserves gelato, you\u2019re covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR BREAKFAST BEFORE BALLET<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Big Dom\u2019s Bagel Shop<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Morning ballet families, this one\u2019s for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Dom\u2019s is practically right outside our studio and is one of those little Downtown Cary spots that\u2019s easy to add to a Saturday or Sunday morning outing. Grab a hand-rolled bagel or breakfast before class\u2014but don\u2019t wait too long. They\u2019re open until the early afternoon\u2026or until they sell out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider that your invitation to make it a bagels-and-ballet kind of morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR LITTLE SHOPPERS & LITTLE READERS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Juliet Books<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the things we love about Downtown Cary is that even after all these years, there always seems to be something new to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the neighborhood\u2019s newest additions is Juliet Books, an independent bookstore near Downtown Cary Park. Along with books and locally inspired gifts for grown-ups, there\u2019s a special children\u2019s area called The Little Loft, with books and programming for young readers, including Storytimes with Maisey every Tuesday from 2:00-2:30p.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As people who believe very strongly in stories and little imaginations, we have a feeling our families will love it here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OUR VERY CLOSEST NEIGHBORS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some of the businesses we love most are quite literally right around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bond Brothers Beer Company<\/strong><\/a> has become a Downtown Cary gathering place, and we love seeing families filling its outdoor space, friends meeting up, and kiddos playing while we\u2019re coming and going from the studio. Being able to walk around the corner after ballet class and find the neighborhood buzzing is one of the things that makes this location feel so connected to downtown life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then there\u2019s Chatham Station<\/strong><\/a>, our event-space neighbor directly behind us\u2014with a particularly fun connection to Tutu School history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember the Just Tires we mentioned?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the property was transformed, Tutu School took over what had been the office and waiting-room portion of the building. The former service bays stretching behind us eventually became Chatham Station, a beautiful event venue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, they\u2019ve also been wonderful neighbors to us. During COVID, when we needed to take ballet outside, their patio became a temporary extension of our studio and gave our dancers a place to keep moving together. Today, during some of our summer camps, our campers still get to enjoy lunchtime outside within their gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a perfect example of the kind of neighborly relationship we\u2019re so grateful to have built downtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GROWING UP ALONGSIDE DOWNTOWN CARY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our Tutu School story has found its way into all sorts of corners of Downtown Cary over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The connection that originally brought us downtown came through friends at Brew Coffee<\/a>, who had opened a location inside The Cary Theater<\/a>. Later, some of our own earliest Winter Bravo Bash performances would take place on that theater\u2019s stage. Today, we\u2019re bringing ballet outside to families at Downtown Cary Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the little Just Tires we first spotted on Chatham Street has become a place where thousands of tiny dancers have twirled through childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve watched new buildings go up, businesses arrive, the park come to life, and Downtown Cary become the vibrant community gathering place it is today. And through all that change, we\u2019ve gotten to put down some pretty wonderful roots of our own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our favorite things about Downtown Cary with kids is how easy it is to make a little more of the outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab a bagel before class. Walk to the park afterward. Browse for a new book. Pop into a children\u2019s boutique. Celebrate with gelato. Or simply wander down Chatham Street and see what else has arrived since your last visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve been discovering this neighborhood for nearly a decade\u2014and somehow, it just keeps getting better. \ud83d\udc95<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
