At Tutu School we look for magic-makers. On our team, we want hearts that never stopped twirling and minds that thrive on creativity. We require our teachers to have a strong background in dance, great communication skills, and a commitment to our carefully crafted curriculum. Most of all, we want instructors that are invested in nurturing the big dreams of little dancers.
Tutu School is a boutique ballet school that provides a creative dance education experience for children from 6 months to 8 years old. It is a place where children are urged to fully exercise their imagination as well as their bodies, where we not only focus on teaching students age-appropriate motor skills and the fundamental principles of ballet, but also expose them to the world of classical music and the enchanting stories of famous ballets.
