From the reviews

We've had such a fantastic experience with Tutu School Bellevue and we'd like to not only review the school, but the Pumpkins and Pirouettes party that was recently held! Teachers Sarah and McKenna facilitated the fun event!

★★★★★ — Max, Oct 2025

We are so happy here! My daughter has been a ballerina at this school since July of last year, and previously to that, Tutu School Seattle. We have Teacher Sarah and she is so kind, welcoming, fun, and gracious! Every instructor is amazing!

★★★★★ — 206, Feb 2025

Amazing school for young ballet dancers. The instructor, Sarah, really cares for the dancers and makes every class so enjoyable. They are practicing for their next Recital, The Bravo Bash, and it's giving them all skills, and also fun and confidence to our daughter!!

★★★★★ — Jones, Sep 2025

I'm thrilled to have my daughter at Tutu School—it’s a place she loves just as much as I do! Every teacher she’s had over the years has been incredibly patient, kind, and full of energy. We began with the parent-child classes, which were so much fun, and now she’s thriving in the 3/4 class.

Your first ballet class at Tutu School Bellevue

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
