From the environment to the team to the events, they pour passion into what they do. Tutu School is a clean, beautiful boutique environment that is a dream. A half wall with a latch gate separates the dance space from the comfortable area with ample seating surrounding. In the dance space, pink and purple dots are on the floor as place markers. A corner shelf holds all the dance props that vary each class. The team is so sweet. My daughter's permanent class is with Teacher Jasmine, who has welcomed us from the start. Unlimited twirling introduced us to Teacher Sara, Teacher Annaliese and Teacher Savannah- who are all amazing! Each of the teachers follows the same general format, but each offers their own unique touch. Bravo Bash is Tutu School's recital and it is the absolute cutest thing. It is the perfect stress free introduction to recital. The rehearsals are during class time and the teachers are on stage during the performance. They also keep the performance as a whole short and sweet, so the little ones thrive through and through. After my shy daughter's first performance, she was confidently beaming with pride. She talked about it for months and it was and continues to be the most heart warming conversations. On Tutu Days, my daughter wakes up, changes and comes out of her room dressed and ready requesting a ballerina bun. Every day with the same excitement, ballet days are the best! My daughter is hooked and it's no secret- WE LOVE BALLET!

Our mission is simple: We believe that exposing children at the earliest possible age to creativity, movement, and classical music will only serve them well in whatever they choose to do with their lives, that dancing like swans and Sugar Plum Fairies not only exercises little bodies but also nurtures big imaginations, and that twirling should be a fundamental part of any childhood.

The owner (a former professional dancer) is very friendly and talkative and welcoming to guests. Because this is the main dance supply store in Akron, they are familiar with UA's Dance Institute (one of the studios I go to) and Cleveland Ballet. On the way in and out today I went through the alternative side entrance (which they opened because of the constant street construction in the North Hill district) which afforded me a good view of the back room where they keep all their pointe shoes.

You would drive past it on the road because it is kinda hard to tell from their sign that this is them. It kinda looks like a house with a porch (It fooled me). If you have a kid or even looking for yourself for swim or dance this is the place.

We were so delighted to find Tutu School Strongsville! From the moment we walked in, the studio felt warm, organized, and genuinely welcoming. The staff greets families with kindness and familiarity, creating an environment where children feel comfortable and excited to participate. One of the things my son enjoys most is how personable and engaging the instructors are. They take the time to truly connect with each child-- learning their personalities and making them feel seen and supported. That personal attention has made a noticeable difference--he looks forward to class and leaves feeling proud of himself every time! The owners, Katie and Grant, are also wonderful. Their experience and passion in professional ballet and teaching dance is evident in everything they do. Their enthusiasm, expertise, and genuine care for the families they serve create a strong foundation for the entire studio. The instructors balance structure with imagination beautifully. They introduce real ballet fundamentals while keeping the experience playful and age‑appropriate. Their patience, professionalism, and warmth truly make each class feel special. The studio itself is clean, safe, and thoughtfully maintained, and communication from the Strongsville team is always clear and timely. Watching our son grow more confident each week has been incredibly rewarding. Tutu School Strongsville has provided exactly the enriching experience we were hoping to find, and we're grateful for the care, intention, and joy the entire team brings to every class.
