From the reviews

Miss Lidia and Miss Katie provide the perfect environment for little ones to learn the Love of dance. This is where magic happens and where ballerina dreams are set free. As they grow and learn, they move up in ability and knowledge and show off their skills at various recitals throughout the year.

My 5yo daughter has been visiting on Saturday mornings for over a year now. She loves it! I love it! The curriculum is perfectly built to keep the child’s attention. The teachers are always wonderful with the children and use their first names. Class sizes have been small, 3-5 children.

★★★★★ — Jacob, Nov 2021

My girls absolutely love Tutu school. I appreciate that they are teaching ballet but at the level and understanding of each age group. Since I have multiples, I've seen the same thing taught but from different approaches so that they understand and can learn.

★★★★★ — Trisha, May 2019

We absolutely love Tutu school! We started her when she was little at 1 for a couple months and took a break. She missed it so much we had to come back at 3 and we’ve been here since!! She’s 4 now and looks forward to every class. Great way to build listening skills and make friends.

Your first ballet class at Tutu School Elkhart

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.
