Had my daughter's 3rd birthday party here and she the best time! Her 12 friends loved the teacher Niori and her enthusiasm and how she kept them occupied. The tea party at the end with the cupcakes was adorable to watch. My daughter has been attending this school since about 18 months and still loves going to class.

I strive to be a man's man. I love football, fast cars, beer, and movies where things explode. If I can do a few of those things at the same time, even better! However, I also have a two year old daughter, and sometimes she needs to get her girly-girl on. Enter the Tutu School.
Ten Disneyland Princess Breakfasts have nothing on this place! It is a paradise of over-the-top pink colored adorableness. it would seem perfectly reasonable if a unicorn emerged from the back room to give the girls rides up and down a rainbow. You have never seen a greater celebration of little girl cuteness in your life.
The class is perfectly suited to little ladies, with your standard group play things, a nice bit of exercise and a surprising amount of real ballet, all with a minimum of 50 references per class to princesses and fairies. Teacher Rachel seems to be Glinda the Good Witch's first cousin and is focused on making all of the kids feel quite special. She keeps things well paced, gets most of the kids involved and doesn't dwell when one of them isn't interested in participating.
I may try to be rough and tumble on the outside, but trust me that taking my gal to ballet class at the Tutu School is a weekly highlight for both of us. You gotta problem with that!?! -

I love this place, my daughter cannot stop talking about ballet! This place is perfect for little girls being introduced to the art. The teacher is so patient and the girls are all so cute in their tutus!! I love this place and will be seeing it weekly for the next 18 weeks :)

My 3 year old daughter has been going to Tutu School for almost a year now. She (and I) enjoy our Saturday mornings with Miss Rachel. She really keeps the children focused & engaged for a full hour! My daughter has so much fun in this class --from the dressing up in her leotard and tutu (of course), to the warm up exercises, stories, and dancing! It's just perfect and magical for little girls! It's too bad the summer semester is winding down, but we are signing up & looking forward to the fall semester spinning and twirling at the Tutu School.

My 2-yr-old daughter loves loves loves her dance class at TuTu School! The teachers are so charmingly imaginative & patient and hold the attention of their little tutu-ed twirlers by engaging them in creative exercises: dancing like animals, tempo & rhythm play, dancing out fairy tales. It is so fun for her & fun to watch!
The only downside is getting her out after class has finished. She'll often pout and whimper, "More ballet class!" She is never ready to leave... -

My daughter used to go here when we lived in San Francisco. Teacher Genevieve is so wonderful and nicest teacher, and I was so amazed by how she gently teaches children. Very good instruction and encourages them to use their imagination. I really like the part that they talk about ballet story and they try to do the same scene using their imagination. I miss this school for my daughter. We moved out from San Francisco. I hope one day they will open the brach in east bay.

I can't say enough good things about this ballet school and its director and teachers. My three-year-old loves Miss Genevieve and Miss Laura. At least for three-year olds, ballet is taught in a way that is probably less rigid than other schools, but I think most appropriate for this age group. Formal dance steps are learned in a playful age-appropriate manner.
I appreciate the openness of the director to feedback. This school already gets an "A" from me, and Genevieve continues to work toward offering an A++ school for young dancers. -

Our daughter's 3rd birthday party at Tutu School was amazing! I don't know who had more fun, the parents or the kids ( well, maybe the kids!). Miss Rachel and Miss Katie did a fantastic job leading a gaggle of ten 2-3 years old for 2 hours straight of fun including tiara/crown making, coloring, a fun-filled ballet lesson and personalized birthday girl story time. After all that we commenced to the cupcake and punch picnic (which BTW, the cupcakes were to die for!)! To top it all off, the kids loved the goodie bags full of sparkly and fun prizes and each left with a huge smile on their faces- especially the birthday girl! We really appreciated all the little touches from the personalized sign on the table to the special attention given to each and every little guest. We love the Tutu School and look forward to many more special times there!

Ballet heaven for my 3 year old. She loves her teacher Miss Alice. On a couple of make-up class occasions she had Miss Rachel, who was just as wonderful. They make it a completely magical experience for these little girls....and for me, too as I wish I was 3 all over again :) It's as beautifully girly as you can imagine with the most wonderful ambience. If your little one loves ballerinas, fairies, and princesses, you will never regret bringing her here.

My daughter loved her ballet classes here. The teachers are incredibly supportive and patient with a class full of 2-3 year olds. She didn't learn much in terms of real ballet movements but she had a lot of fun trying to. The room is a bit small but so adorable. The lessons were fun for the parents to watch too. Definitely a place for my girly girl to be a princess.

Perfect class for the under three set! The teacher and director, Genevieve, has the magic touch with her students. She is introducing these youngsters to the art of ballet in a fun, engaging and expressive manner. The 45 minute class balances group activities with individual learning and discovering. More than any other class we have taken, the things our daughter learns at Tutu School turn up in her everyday life. It has been an amazing experience to watch her become more confident, independent and quite the little dancer. You won't want to miss the MAGIC that happens at Tutu School.

My daughter just had a 6th birthday party at the Tutu School and it was really wonderful. They did some great games and dance lessons, and the teachers were fantastic. I highly recommend this for an easy and enjoyable birthday party.
