    My daughter has been going here for about a year; she's only 2.5 but LOVES IT. The teachers are engaging and patient with these littles and the school has really gotten the process down of teaching the basics in a fun way. While we love the dancing part (and blast offs!) it's nice to end the class with a story and coloring. Can't wait for our long tenure with Tutu School!

    Toddler class review - Welcoming, warm and sweet teachers - Many class times ( morning and afternoons) and unlimited summer classes - parents participate and support child following along with teacher lead - 45 minute classes with warms-up, action and calm down activities - Activities introduce language and movement of ballet in fun and playful ways like galloping as unicorns to prime for jeté - classes are diverse Overall, great introductory class for toddlers who can reasonably manage themselves and follow basic instructions. Miss Taylor is an amazing teacher who understands how to educate the group with developmentally appropriate approaches and redirections, but we also adore Miss T and Miss Ruby. The neighborhood is nice ( can be a little tricky parking on weekends), we walk over to Julie's after class for a ballet treat.

    Wonderful place we took our two year old and she absolutely loved it. Gentle Introduction to ballet and dance. The decoration and the overall set up is just amazing.

    My daughter has been attending for 2 months now. She's learned so much from her teachers. I love the flexibility that we have with our schedule. Whenever I've had an issue they always respond immediately. My daughter loves attending tutu school and I hope she's here until she reaches that age limit. Thank you instructors for everything you've taught my Babygirl

Being that I only was able to attend one class, I asked for a refund. I tried to explain, but they were extremely unaccommodating. They said that I should have filled out a form. How the heck was I supposed to fill out a form while in the hospital? I had other issues to worry about. If this was not bad enough, this program was not even as described and mainly consisted of little children and not teens. They started ignoring my emails after I tried to explain my situation. Dance 10 was a lot nicer. These people are extremely greedy and do not care about their students. They just want money. Avoid this studio at all costs.

The classes did not appear to have been thoughtfully planned out before each class and the parent visit day felt haphazardly done. The children did not seem to learn much in the months they were there. There also turned out to be many hidden costs aside from the outfits, bags and shoes, such as a spring recital (not in Alameda) which you learn about later (with additional costs for participation, costume, photography, recital tickets, flower bouquets etc which they pressure you into purchasing e.g. by parading the children during class to show them what costumes they would be wearing if they participated, and measuring everyone regardless of whether or not you are participating thus making it more difficult for parents to explain if you can't do the recital). Overall I really wanted to like ABA, however selling was prioritized above the children's long term love of dance. I appreciate the school needs to make a profit as a business, however I would have been more persuaded if costs were transparent and if they did not reduce themselves to using unkind hard sell techniques especially with young learners. Thank you.

My teenage daughter and I have attended their beautiful Lavagem festivals for years but are now regulars in class. We're enjoying our experience so much we have joined their Carnaval comparsa, Bloco Ginga Brasil, and we're rehearsing for the San Francisco Carnaval parade. Samba Tuesdays are held at Silki Studios in Oakland with a Samba Foundations class, an All Levels class, and Intermediate/Advanced level. The class schedule also includes a Cardio Samba class on Thursday at Ashkenaz and Brazilian dance and kids' classes on Sundays at La Pena. All classes are led by experienced teachers who are positive and encouraging. I appreciate the attention to proper technique and the challenging of learning choreography. My samba has leveled up in a short amount of time--and I've been taking classes all over the Bay Area for over a decade!
