From the reviews

We can’t say enough good things about the Tutu School or the Bravo Bash Recital. Our 5-year old daughter performed in the primary ballet prep class. The teachers do such a good job teaching the girls real ballet moves while keeping it fun and a great experience. And the show was so cute!!

★★★★★ — Julia, Jun 2025

We have loved coming to tutu school ladera ranch! Both daughters started around 2 and it had been the perfect activity for them to learn to listen and follow direction. Thank you tutu school for teaching them so young! Miss Benna has been so sweet and kind!

★★★★★ — Alison, Jun 2025

We absolutely love TUTU School Ladera Ranch! My daughter is in the Exploring Ballet B/C class and it has been such a wonderful experience for her. We’ve had the pleasure of having Ms. Hannah and now Ms. Parmida as her teachers—both are incredibly kind, engaging, and passionate.

★★★★★ — Gina, Jun 2025

Aria’s first Bravo Bash recital was so adorable! Our family was thrilled to witness her learn and grow as a young ballerina in such a short period of time. We are grateful for Miss Parm’s guidance and patience in fostering creativity and discipline in Aria from day one.

Your first ballet class at Tutu School Ladera Ranch

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.
