Birthday parties

Party venue · Up to age 8

Tutu School birthday parties begin with a brief ballet class of movement games, then a performance of a special birthday story starring the guest of honor. Guests dress up and decorate crowns to keep, and the party ends with a cupcake picnic and lemonade. Tutu School provides the decor, crafts and party favors, which are tutus and capes to take home. Each package includes the birthday child and up to 10 guests, and more guests can be added to any package; the studio asks to be told when 16 or more children will attend. Three packages are offered: ODETTE, the classic option; CINDERELLA, with extra take-home touches; and SUGAR PLUM, the most extensive, with extra time built in for crafts and games. Book through the location finder at tutuschool.com/find-your-tutu-school.
