From the reviews

My daughter (2.5 years) adores Tutu School. The teachers do an amazing job of creating an age appropriate and fun experience. There are tons of props to keep little ones engaged: bubbles, magic wands, ribbon dancers, so many more.

★★★★★ — Alison, Jun 2024

We have loved our experience at the Tutu School! My now 3.5 year old has been with them almost a year now and she LOVES the recitals and her teacher, Miss Erin.

★★★★★ — Gabrielle, Feb 2025

Our family loves Tutu school in South Austin. Our daughter is in the 1.5-3 year old class and it has been the cutest and most rewarding experience. In the beginning our daughter did not want to participate but through encouragement, time, and patience from Ms.

★★★★★ — Kalina, Feb 2025

My daughter absolutely LOVED Tutu School. Miss Ciceley is an incredible teacher. Tons to do and learn and we will miss it! My daughter still arabesques all around the house. Unfortunately, our schedule changed and it just got too hard for us to keep making it (even with easy to schedule make-up classes!).

Your first ballet class at Tutu School South Austin

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.
