Absolutely the best experience for our 20 month old! The teacher was so patient and professional! Excellent place for dance in Willow Glen! Thank you!!!!!

★★★★★ — Carol, Sep 2024

I signed up my daughter almost a year ago and she absolutely loves it. All the teaches she’s gone through are so nice and professional with kids. The performances that they host 2 to 3 times a year are breath taking. You never know what your little one can do until you see her in stage doing what she loves most.

★★★★★ — Marisela, Nov 2019

My daughter Allie loves to dance and we are so happy at this tutu school. We love the location as well. Ms. Ivanna is the sweetest dance teacher. I would recommend her class and school !

★★★★★ — Daisy, Jul 2022

Our daughter has been attending Tutu school for 8 months now and having a wonderful experience! Not only is the studio beautifully decorated with cushioned chairs for parents to sit and watch, the program is super friendly for young ones beginning ballet with limited class sizes.

Your first ballet class at Tutu School Willow Glen

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.
