From the reviews

My daughter went to multiple summer camp sessions here and loved it. They had a performance at the end of each week and I was amazed at what the camp taught them in just a week. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Andonio, Jul 2016

Tutu school is my daughter’s favorite place! She looks forward to going every week and I find the lessons have such a positive effect on her interest in music /dancing and her confidence in general. The teachers are so patient and the events they have beyond the classes are sweet.

★★★★★ — Lauren, Jul 2025

The absolute best option for any budding ballerinas out there. The teachers (shout out to Teacher Maggie) are extremely patient and the use of games, songs, rhymes, and props is a brilliant way to make the classes fun and without pressure.

Your first ballet class at Tutu School San Francisco - Bay Street

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.
