<\/figure>\n\n\n\nRecently, we sat down as a team and created our list of studio core values. These values are the heart of how we make decisions, show up for you and your family, and operate as a business. Shyanne, Kahlill, and Dominique exemplify these core values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Integrity<\/strong> ~ Do what\u2019s right when no one is watching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Passion<\/strong> ~ Lead with your heart. Share your joy. You are a magic maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teamwork<\/strong> ~ We are family. We are stronger together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Persistence<\/strong> ~ Keep calm and twirl on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Community<\/strong> ~ Our magic is bigger than us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shyanne Carroll ~ School Coordinator<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shyanne is the magic on the other end of the computer or phone. She guides you through every step of your Tutu journey ensuring you have the best customer experience. She\u2019s always ready to answer your questions, find a solution for your individual needs, and advocate for your dancers. She brings an incredible level of care and compassion to her work by always striving to make your experience at Tutu School the best. She manages to do all this while taking care of her adorable one year-old daughter, Maisie. We wish Shyanne lived closer and could pop into the studio to meet you all in person, but she currently resides in Denver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the perks of Tutu School membership is unlimited makeup classes<\/strong>while you remain continuously enrolled. We know kids get sick, work meetings happen, and you can\u2019t always make it to class. Shyanne is always available to help you schedule a makeup class if you can\u2019t find one that works for you on your Pirouette Portal. *A gentle reminder as we head further into fall, please keep sick kids home. We will do everything we can to get you into a makeup class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Shyanne has some incredible new member perks<\/strong> in the works and I can\u2019t wait to share more soon. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kahlill Cruz ~ School Principal<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kahlill wears many tutus at Tutu School. In addition to training and mentoring our teachers, Kahlill creates our weekly curriculum<\/strong>. Each Tutu School class is designed to be engaging, fun, and developmentally appropriate. The Tutu School franchise has cultivated a wonderful curriculum of exercises, but Kahlill dives deeper to connect the steps to our weekly story, theme, and step of the month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tutu School is for everybody, and we believe that every child should know what it feels like to dance. Behind the props and movement games lies an intentional foundation for developmentally appropriate milestones. We want your children to love Tutu School for the fun and magic while still growing and developing gross motor and social skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond connecting the exercises to the story, theme, and step of the month, Kahlill explains the execution of every step and why it matters. This level of detail is so helpful for our teachers to deliver the best classes while still inviting their own creativity and magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kahlill has been hard at work to make Tutu School even more meaningful for our families. She\u2019s been working on a curriculum update and new monthly milestone program<\/strong>, which I am excited to share with you soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tutuschool.com\/tacoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2025\/09\/Image-8-6-25-at-12.40-PM.jpeg\")
