★★★★★ — Aijia, Jan 2026

Our family loves Tutu School Raleigh! The studio is welcoming and clean. All of the teachers are literal angels - experienced ballerinas who are patient, friendly, and professional. Our teacher, Ms. Mayerlin, creates such a warm and engaging environment, incorporating play and dance movement into each class.

★★★★★ — Marie, Nov 2025

My daughter has been with Tutu School for almost 3 years. The teachers are amazing! We’ve been with Ms Kimberlyn and Ms Carolina (current instructor) and we love both! Savannah has grown so much with the school.

Your first ballet class at Tutu School Raleigh

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.
