From the reviews

Absolutely the best! My daughter has been attending baby ballet since September and I can tell she looks forward to it when she slips on her tutu. She walks in and is always ready to go (and looks for those bubbles!). The Long Beach location is always professional, clean and inviting!

We are such fans of Teacher Nix and Tutu School of Long Beach 🩰 My daughter has been attending for over 6 months now and it’s helped build her confidence and live out her princess dreams.

★★★★★ — Mebrat, Jan 2026

My toddler has been attending Tutu ballet school, and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. Her teacher, Teacher Nix, at the Long Beach location has truly made such a positive impact on my daughter. She is incredibly patient, kind, and attentive.

★★★★★ — Valerie, May 2026

I've been sending my daughter to Tutu school for almost two years now! She enjoys going to class and has had the same awesome instructor (teacher Nix!!) for her time at Tutu school. Teacher Nix really knows how to keep a class of toddlers focused with the perfect level of instruction and play!

Your first ballet class at Tutu School Long Beach

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.
