Tutu School by the Numbers (2026)

Ballet is an independents' art — but it has exactly one national franchise. Tutu School is the tutu-and-story ballet brand built for toddlers and preschoolers (creative-movement classes for ages roughly 18 months to 8 years), and it's big enough to measure: 108 US studios rated 4.9★ across 4,302 parent reviews. Here's the aggregate, then every location best to worst, then the map by state. Updated 2026-07-17.

Tutu School at a glance

One brand, 108 studios, and a remarkably consistent parent verdict: an average of 4.9★ with a median of 5★. Worth knowing before you read too much into a single number — these are franchisee-run studios, so the local teacher matters more than the sign on the door, which is exactly what the location-by-location spread below shows.

Honest framing: these are location-level Google averages left by parents — a measure of the studio experience, not a corporate scorecard.

Every Tutu School, best to worst

Here's the finding that surprised us. Across 108 Tutu School studios, the gap between the best-rated location in America (Denver, CO at 5★) and the lowest (Beaverton, OR at 3★) is just 2 stars. 64 of the 108 studios sit exactly at 5★. Whatever you make of the franchise model, the data says the experience is remarkably uniform — there is effectively no "bad" Tutu School, and the standouts below earn their stars against 4,302 reviews brand-wide.

Methodology: ratings and review counts from the public Google Business listing of each Tutu School location in our national directory, studios only — satellite listings, corporate offices, and independent studios with a tutu-themed name are excluded. Brand average = simple mean of location ratings (review-weighted means agree to within a hundredth of a star). Refreshed with each re-crawl. More data: the state-by-state stats hub.
