Get to Know Tutu School!

Tutu School is a whimsical boutique ballet school for toddlers & children, in downtown Raleigh.

“Throughout my years as a professional ballet dancer, this school was always a dream of mine… In that dream I envisioned a quaint boutique of a ballet school that would provide a creative dance education experience for children, and a place where students would be urged to fully exercise their imaginations as well as their bodies.

Today, I am proud to say that my dream has been realized in each and every one of our Tutu Schools, all independently owned by lovingly chosen directors, and all boasting exceptional teachers and a carefully crafted curriculum.

We never take for granted the significance of our role in introducing children to the beauty and intrinsic magic of ballet, and that – as much as my original dream of Tutu School – remains at the heart of everything we do.

As we have said at the end of each and every Tutu School class, since the very first one in 2008, “Thank you for the music. Thank you for you the dancing. Thank you for the magic!”

Happy Twirling!
