Classes include 35 minutes of teacher-guided activities, followed by 10 minutes of additional open play & caregiver social time.

Tutu Toddlers
- Level A: 18-24 months old *
- Level B: 24 months - 3 years old *
Our goal in our Tutu Toddlers is to work with you to engage your little one and give them an introduction to ballet they'll never forget. Why? Because at Tutu School we believe that exposing children at the earliest possible age to creativity, movement, and music can only lead to good things, and that dancing out stories not only exercises little bodies but also nurtures big imaginations.

Exploring Ballet

Classes in our Exploring Ballet strike a perfect balance between structure and creativity. In this 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.

Primary Ballet Prep
- Level A: 5-6 years old
- Level B: 6-8 years old
Just because you've entered the early years of gradeprimary school doesn't mean you're ready to put aside the joys of twirling and fairytales... And why should it? In the Primary Ballet Prep we develop pure, fundamental ballet technique that will eventually allow our students to graduate to a more disciplined study of the craft - when their little bodies are ready. In the meantime, we'll continue to practice our pliés with a healthy helping of magical fun, thank you.
Ballet is for everybody!
Children of all genders are welcome at Tutu School. Whatever dreams they end up dreaming, the skills young dancers develop with us – confidence, coordination, and creativity - will help to chase them. Whether their favoritefavourite part of class is to blast off like a rocket ship, gallop like a unicorn, or get lost in Mozart - movement and music are gifts that should be shared with all children.
Please note, Tutu School is not a childcare provider and our classes are not intended for drop-off care. Please plan to remain close by in case your little dancer needs something.
