Can Parents watch classes?
At Tiny Tutus our classes are open, which means parents are welcome to watch! We don’t mean the last five minutes and we’re not talking watching through a viewing window. At Tiny Tutus parents are greeted with open arms! Ballerinas at such tender ages love having parents in class to watch, encourage and support and we love having parents too!
Tiny Tutus do have ‘Parent Etiquette’ that we do ask parents to abide by –
• Keep noises quiet while the class is in progress. Even whispered conversations can be heard and are distracting dancers.
• Mobile phones are on silent or switched OFF.
• Parents have a special seated area, set up to give you the best view whilst also keeping distractions to a minimum for dancers. Parents are only asked to participate in the Teeny Tiny Tutus program for 1.5 - 2.5 years old.
• We love little brothers and sisters watching too! We do ask however, that they remain quietly seated and not participate in classes.
• Still photography of your own ballerina is welcome, however video, DVD or mobile phone recording is absolutely and strictly prohibited.
Can I go for a trial class?
Yes we do offer trial classes. You can find a class near you and book your trial here.
Does my ballerina need a class tutu to attend a trial class?
Your ballerina does not need a class tutu to attend your trial class. Dress your little ballerina in clothes they can move comfortably in and a pair of ballet flats. Please avoid wearing ‘jiffies’ as they are very slippery to dance in.
Can boys participate in Tiny Tutus classes?
Boys are absolutely welcome at Tiny Tutus! Prince's have their own uniform and also have special costume options for our end of year Recital.
What are the Class and Registration Fees?
Please see our Fees and Membership page for more details.
What happens if I need a refund?
Information on class credits and refunds can be found in our Tiny Tutus Terms and Conditions.
Is my ballerina automatically enrolled into the next term?
We know our ballet families have a lot to juggle in life, and have done our best to make your time with Tiny Tutus simple and easy! When your child becomes a Tiny Tutus Member, membership is ongoing and automatically renews each year until you notify us that you want to opt out or your child “ages out” of our program in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Never worry about missing out or having to re-enrol, we will take care of it for you!
What does my ballerina wear to class?
Upon registration, families will receive a discount code to add your class tutu to your cart for $0 through our online store. This new process allows you to select the correct size and preferred delivery address, helping ensure the perfect fit and a smooth, seamless experience.
Each ballerina enrolled at Tiny Tutus is asked to wear our uniform to class. Our uniform is, Tiny Tutus Pink Class Tutu, Tiny Tutus Pink Head Band, Pink Ballet Stockings (or socks for the warmer months), Pink Ballet Slippers, Pink Tiny Tutus Ballet Wrap (for the colder months) and should have their hair pulled back in a bun. All These items can be purchased from our online Boutique.
How do I know what the class dates are?
Tiny Tutus classes are billed and run in 10 week 'blocks'. There are 5 x 10 week blocks per year.
For a complete list of dates, you can visit your Parent Portal or our Term & Direct Debit Dates page.
How do I know what class to put my ballerina in?
Tiny Tutus classes are designed to be based on the ballerinas age groups. We are more than happy to help you find the perfect class! Call 1300 245 060 or email hello@tinytutu.com.au for assistance.

What happens if I cannot attend a class?
We understand that things pop up, like sickness and holidays, that can interfere with your classes.
You can now easily notify us of an absence and book an makeup lesson in your new Parent Portal!
What happens is a class is cancelled by Tiny Tutus
Occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, Tiny Tutus may need to cancel a regularly scheduled class. Notice will be given as far in advance as possible, however lessons can be cancelled at short notice (for example, the morning of your lesson). Cancellation notifications are sent via email and SMS as this is the most efficient and effective way.
Is my ballerina registered for the Winter Presentation & End of Year Recital?
Yes! We know life is busy with little ones and we want your Tiny Tutus experience to be stress-free and enjoyable. To ensure your little one has a spot on stage and costume reserved for them, they are automatically registered for both the Winter Presentation & End of Year Recital.
These performances are included in your Membership and are every family's favourite part of the Tiny Tutus experience!
Forget what you know about Recitals - our Tiny Tutus Recitals are created especially for tiny dancers. With a run time of just one hour, your ballerina will receive a stunning new costume tutu and perform on stage in front of their loved ones with their teacher and class friends.
For more information please see our Recital Page.
