We love the tutu school! Our daughter has been going for 2 years and she’s always so proud to demonstrate what she has learned. The teachers do a great job breaking down the fundamentals and making class fun. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Our son takes ballet at tutu school and loves his classes. The teachers are professional, good with kids, and very good dancers. The class is low pressure and fun, and the kids learn the ballet moves very well.

Your first ballet class at Tutu School Seattle

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.
