From the reviews

Baby Ballet has been wonderful! There are not many activity options available for 6m+ so we were happy to have found this one. The best way I can describe it is "organized chaos," and my baby loves it!

★★★★★ — Sarah, Nov 2025

Our daughter loves it. Amazing programming, atmosphere, and staff. They blend fun and technique in a way that is well thought out and always different every week. They end each class by reading a ballet-related story and each student gets to color a page related to the book.

★★★★★ — Calvin, Dec 2025

We have been attending Tutu School since it's opening in June and have loved every moment of it. The space is beautiful, the teachers are all amazing, and the classes are so light-hearted and fun for the children. I absolutely love that they incorporate book reading (stories of ballets!) into the classes as well.

★★★★★ — Anastasia, Oct 2025

We’ve been coming here almost a year and our 3 year old daughter loves it! They always do a great job with the kids with having fun while learning the basics. The teachers are very patient and kind with the children (who sometimes aren’t the best listeners at this age!)

Your first ballet class at Tutu School New Orleans

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.
