From the reviews
Tutu School has become our daughter’s highlight of the week and we adore her teacher, Miss Nina! She’s absolutely in love with learning to dance and getting interaction with other little girls her age.
We absolutely love Tutu school! Having been a dance teacher myself I was worried I wouldn’t find a dance class for my daughter that lived up to my standards, but I was so wrong. Tutu school in Tacoma is all the things ballet class should be; fun, skill building, and most of all magical.
Edited to reflect new teacher (other one left): We love Tutu School! Our toddler (4yo) looks forward to attending class every week. We have our toddler with Miss Alex, and she is really great with the kids, and very kind.
Adorable! The teachers are so good with the kids. Even with rambunctious kids, each child got individual attention, and the focus of the lessons stayed focused on fun. My daughter walks away from each lesson feeling like a prima ballerina, and so excited to come back.
Your first ballet class at Tutu School Tacoma
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.
