Meet The Magic Makers

Our Dedicated Team

Tutu School is committed to providing a magical space for young children to
learn, grow, and explore the wonders of ballet.

This is the founding principle of Tutu School. We believe that motor skill development is infinitely enhanced by Tchaikovsky and Bach, that young imaginations benefit immensely from exploring the enchanted worlds of swans and sugar plums, and that twirling should be a fundamental part of any childhood

– Tutu School’s Mission Statement

We pursue our mission with the help of incredible teachers and staff that pour
their hearts into every child’s experience.

Jessica Mann

A little bit about me:
I’ve been singing and dancing since childhood, training in NYC and
performing from Disney Cruise Line to Mary Poppins in California. Along the
way, I discovered my love for teaching and now, after moving from California
and finally settling in Texas with my family, I’m thrilled to share the magic of
ballet and Tutu School with the Fort Worth and Haslet communities!

Whitney Gregory

A little bit about me:
I grew up outside San Francisco, dancing since age 3 and exploring
everything from ballet to hip hop. In 2016, I discovered Tutu School and fell in love with teaching little dancers.

When Tutu School Burlingame opened in
2017, I joined the faculty and later became owner-now proudly leading
Burlingame and San Bruno’s Storybook Adventures in Ballet.
