My daughter is having so much fun at Tutu School Irvine. Ms. Ysabel is the best! She engages the children while empowering their confidence and independence to learn and twirl in the class. It's definitely a great start for toddlers. We can't wait to see what Tutu School Irvine has to offer as our child grows and excels to newer levels! Thank you Tutu School Irvine! read more

Tutu School Irvine - her getting her photo taken for the recital! - Dance Schools Near Me - Irvine, California

My daughter's first Bravo Bash (ballet recital) was amazing! The teachers helped the kids remember the choreo by staying on stage and making sure they were taken care of during the performance. I totally thought my daughter would need me to stand up there with her but I was wrong! She felt comfortable and confident enough to be up there on her own with her classmates and teachers. I can't wait for the Spring Bravo Bash! read more

My 2.5-year-old daughter Kamila absolutely LOVES her time at Tutu School! From the very first class, we felt welcomed into such a warm and magical environment. The space is perfectly designed for little ballerinas, and the program does a wonderful job blending imagination with early ballet basics. Her teacher, Miss Isabelle, is truly exceptional, kind, patient, and so engaging with the little ones. Kamila talks about her all week long and can't wait to go back to class. It's been such a joy watching Kamila grow more confident and excited about dancing each week. We're so grateful to have found Tutu School. It's the perfect first introduction to ballet and creativity for young children! read more

We love Ms Isabel! She has such a wonderful way with young kids, and my daughter adores her. Even on days when my daughter has trouble focusing or is feeling a little off, Isabel is so patient, encouraging, and kind. She manages to keep things fun while still teaching real technique, and it's amazing to see the progress my daughter has made under her guidance. Miss Isabel creates such a positive and welcoming environment--she truly brings out the best in her students. Highly recommend her to any parent looking for a dance teacher who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about the kids she teaches. read more

My 4 year old daughter had been begging me for ballet classes so we tried TuTu School in Irvine. We signed up for a free trial class the night before the class. When we came in we were greeted by her teacher and she jumped right into class. The studio is so cute with a chandelier in the middle, a little store on the left and a seating area for parents in the same room as the class. I also love the tutus on the wall and ballet shoes as decorations. My daughter's eyes lit up as she watched her teacher and did all of the dance moves. Miss Kate kept all the kids engaged with different props like egg shakers and silks. The music is perfect and just adds to the whole experience. I love that the kids are given opportunities for free dance and that they can express themselves with a little guidance. It is very age appropriate. Towards the end of class they read a story. The days we went, they were reading Coppelia. They get to dance to music from that ballet and they get a coloring sheet at the very end. My daughter loved it so much and couldn't wait to go back. Our second class was Halloween week, and she got to wear her Halloween costume. Tinkerbell loved her second class too. ‍ We can't recommend TuTu School enough. Just adorable and so much fun. Thank you for the magic! read more

It's great to have a Tutu School in Irvine since all other locations are further away. We had a blast on our first Tumbling Class, which is a parent and me. If the child is under 3 parents join the session. Parents need to wear socks with grip since the floors are slippery. Children are not required to wear a tutu but all the littles were wearing one. I noticed that some littles were barefoot and I'm assuming it's because they don't want them to slip with socks/don't have ballet shoes. Fyi- they sell tutus and other accessories. For the older children they have individual classes and a recital. Ms. Devon is patient, friendly, and high energy! The lobby area of the school is a bit tight, but there are plenty of other shops in the shopping center to walk around. Overall the practice area looks pretty clean, I noticed they have a bin for dirty or used ribbons, scarves, wands, etc. I like that they take proper sanitation procedures to prevent the spread of any illness. For being a founding member we received a pink Tutu School tote bag! By the way they offer a free trial! read more

We love Tutu School! My daughter started when she turned 2, and we've been attending for around 6 months now.

The teachers are all so sweet, patient, and passionate about what they do. My daughter even named one of her toys after her teacher Miss Kate! I highly recommend Tutu School to anyone who wants a fun and gentle introduction into the world of ballet for their little ones! read more

I recently enrolled my 2-year-old at Tutu School, and my little girl is absolutely loving it! She gets so excited to put on her ballerina outfit and join the fun. It's also been a great opportunity for her to learn how to pay attention and follow directions in a structured environment. I've noticed real growth in these skills, all while she's having a blast. Since she's still so young, I'm able to join her in the class, which is not only helpful but also fun! Sometimes I even pretend to be a ballerina too! It's a wonderful experience for both of us." read more

Such a joyful first class at Tutu School Irvine! The studio is gorgeous (brand new, spacious, beautifully lit and decorated, freshly painted, beautiful chandelier in the restroom, etc). And we are beyond grateful for our daughter's teacher, Miss Kate; we cannot say enough good things about her. She is kind, soft/gentle with the children (our tiny ballerina is currently three years), warm, friendly, an excellent dancer, personable and adept at working with the children (and their various personalities and moods). She runs the class well, keeping the little ones engaged and yet not rushing them (there is no dead time). We cannot be more thrilled with our new Friday morning class. The various props, darling music, ballet curriculum of technique, terminology and French are impressive. Also, love the incorporation of imagination and free dance (the children are read the famous ballet stories then dance to the accompanying classical music while also being introduced to the composer). They've done a really nice job with this class, and you may come experience the Tutu School magic for yourself and your little one with their complimentary trial class. Well done, ladies; we look forward to Bravo Bash! read more
