Tutu School Boulder is a boutique ballet studio opening in Boulder in June 2026. At Tutu School, children ages 6 months to 8 years explore ballet-inspired movement, classical music, and storytelling in a nurturing, whimsical environment designed to spark creativity, confidence, and joy. Tutu School strives to honor its role in sharing the beauty and wonder of ballet with every child it serves.

We offer continuous-enrollment classes, birthday parties, day-camps, and twice-yearly off-site recitals. We believe every child should have the chance to experience the beauty and wonder of dance in a magical and encouraging setting.
