From the reviews

My daughter has always wanted to dance ballet and had just never gotten around to signing her up to a class. Was always nervous about the cost of it. After trying a class at our community center and seeing that she LOVED dancing ballet I went to sign her up at Tutu school. I really appreciate the free tria clas!

★★★★★ — Familia, Sep 2025

My 2.5 yr recently began classes here and we've been very happy. The class structure and pacing is very engaging with several novel inclusions, like a little story time and coloring activity, that really seem to deepen the kids' exposure to classical ballet stories and music.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Jul 2024

My daughter took classes here with Ms. Maranda and had a really wonderful time! I love how the ballet positions and curriculum are made more magical for younger kids that don't need to be training like professional dancers yet, and are learning to follow directions and to love dancing. Ms.

★★★★★ — Kyle, Jan 2024

I've been a fan of tutu school since my former nanny kids attended in Mountain View about 5/6 years ago. So naturally, after having my own child, tutu school was a MUST.

Your first ballet class at Tutu School Sunnyvale

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.
