Your local Tutu School may have openings for magic makers like you! They require teachers with a strong background in dance, great communication skills, and a commitment to Tutu School’s carefully crafted curriculum. But, most of all, they want instructors that are invested in nurturing the big dreams of little dancers.

All Tutu School® locations are independently owned and operated by third-party franchisees. Franchisees, not Tutu School Franchises, LLC., are responsible for all hiring and personnel matters at their individual locations. 

Why teach at Tutu School?

"Teaching at Tutu School reminded me of all my cherished memories of dancing as a child. I took a break from ballet as a teenager because the magic that I had found as a kid in ballet began to disappear. I found it again, but this time in all of the Tutu Schoolers I have taught these past few years. Thank you so much for opening my eyes to a curriculum that spoke to my heart."

– Courtney, Tutu School Larkspur Teacher
