Tutu School Stuart

Meet Miss Ashley 🤍

We asked Miss Ashley a few questions so you could get to know the teacher who brings imagination into ballet and helps children leave class feeling joyful, creative, and part of something special.

Q: Why do you think imagination belongs in ballet?

A: I think imagination belongs in ballet because to me, ballet is beautiful and magical! As dancers, every child will be able to use their body to tell stories and create emotions. I love to always incorporate imagination into my classes because it makes ballet more than just steps—it makes it a beautiful art form full of wonder and creativity.

Q: What do you hope children feel after taking class with you?

A: After a child takes a class with me, I hope they feel joyful and excited to come back and dance again. I love that I am able to teach them the beauty of ballet and I want them to always know that they are truly a part of something special. But most importantly, I hope they always have fun during class and leave with a smile :)

Q: What is one song that instantly makes you want to dance?

A: One song that instantly makes me want to dance is Stupid for You by Waterparks!

✨ Sometimes the most beautiful thing in ballet isn’t a twirl.

It’s the moment a child realizes what they can do.

Eyes full of pride.

At Tutu School Stuart, we believe ballet is about so much more than steps. Through imagination, music, movement, and storytelling, children build creativity, confidence, and joy that reaches far beyond the studio.

This happy dancer is 3 years old and part of our Exploring Ballet community, where every class is an adventure and every child is celebrated exactly as they are. 🤍

“Are boys welcome as well to dance?”

That was a question we recently received from a local parent.

The answer is an easy one.

Absolutely. 💜

At Tutu School Stuart, we believe ballet is for children who love to move, imagine, create, explore, and tell stories through movement.

This little dancer joined our story circle, made new friends, leaped across the studio with excitement, and reminded us what dance is really about.

Not perfection.

Not fitting into a mold.

Joy.

Confidence.

Creativity.

Belonging.

Every child deserves a place where they feel welcomed, encouraged, and free to be themselves.

And every child is welcome here.

Have you ever wondered if ballet might be a good fit for your son?

A few months ago, this was just a dream.

A dream that had me painting walls late at night, assembling furniture, hanging mirrors, solving problems, and wondering if families would believe in what we were building.

Today, while putting the finishing touches on Tutu School Stuart, I received the news that every Royal Twirl Circle Founding Membership has been claimed.

Sold out.

Twenty five families chose to place their trust in us before we even opened our doors.

I honestly don’t have words for how grateful I am.

To our Royal Twirl Circle families, thank you for believing in this vision and becoming part of Tutu School Stuart history.

This studio has been built with so much love, support, hard work, and hope from our family, our teachers, our community, and every person who has cheered us on along the way.

Today we celebrate our Grand Opening.

And today, I’m taking a moment to simply say…

Thank you, Stuart. ✨🩰💕
