From the reviews

We love tutu school (brier creek)! My daughter (2 years) has been attending weekly since the beginning and it is such a great class! They do a great job of keeping their short attention spans engaged with a mix of activities and props. Bubbles and flowers are our favorites!

★★★★★ — Kaitlyn, Oct 2024

My three daughters had all been interested in taking dance classes, but honestly, I was so overwhelmed by the cost and commitment levels expected from other dance studios in the area that we had put it off for several years until a friend told me about the tutu school. We have LOVED our experience here!

★★★★★ — Jamie, Apr 2026

We absolutely love tutu school! My daughter asks if we’re going to tutu school every time we leave the house now. The toddler classes are a blast and I feel like my daughter is being exposed to excellent developmental skills while also learning ballet basics. Everyone is kind, patient and welcoming.

★★★★★ — Siobhan, Oct 2024

Love our twirling sessions at the Tutu school! Ms. Stevie and Ms. Caroline are so welcoming and patient with the toddlers. Love that it is parent involved so I get to stretch and plié too!

★★★★★ — Amanda, Oct 2024

Your first ballet class at Tutu School Brier Creek

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.
