    About Tutu School

    Why buy a franchise?

    Let’s see if we can guess… You have an entrepreneurial spirit, but feel no desire to re-invent the wheel and start building a business model from scratch, right? Perfect! Purchasing a franchise business is ideal for individuals who want to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. Becoming a franchisee balances independence with support, and compliments the freedom of ownership with the security of proven success.

    Why open a tutu school?

    Owning your own Tutu School gives you the unique opportunity to pair a thoughtful mission with an exciting brand, all wrapped up in the sweetest of packages.
     
    Tutu School is a collection of boutique-style ballet schools that cater specifically to children 18 months to 8 years-old. 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.
