From the reviews

We absolutely LOVE Tutu School. My youngest is almost 4yo and we have been participating in weekly classes for two years now. She LOVES being able to dance, stretch, and listen to the stories.

★★★★★ — Candace, Mar 2024

We had a wonderful experience at Tutu School. Miss Jocelyn is fantastic: patient, kind, and attentive to each child’s personality. We also met other teachers and they were all great. Their gentle approach creates a supportive environment where kids feel comfortable.

★★★★★ — Anne-Gaëlle, Sep 2025

My daughter absolutely adores Tutu school! She has been at Tutu for about a year and she's learning so much! Tutu school is also accepting of all children. My daughter has Mild Cerebral Palsy and the instructors are so patient with her! We love TuTu school and instructors!

★★★★★ — Stephani, May 2023

We’ve been part of the Tutu School family for two years and absolutely love it! The curriculum is the perfect balance—lighthearted and playful, yet thoughtfully structured for toddlers. The teachers are warm, gentle, and incredibly skilled at managing a room full of little ones with grace and calm.

Your first ballet class at Tutu School South San Jose

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.
