Who doesn't want to control their own destiny? And if that destiny includes storybook adventures in ballet, magical tutu-filled dancing, and pink-frosted cupcake picnics… well, so much the better! 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.

What's even more enchanting is that becoming a Tutu School franchisee balances independence with support, and compliments the freedom of ownership with the security of proven success.

Becoming a part of a franchise system is the best way to ensure that you still benefit from the experience of tested methods without sacrificing the freedom of being your own boss.

What could be better? Enjoy the independence of owning your own business, while still taking advantage of a core network of resources, guidance, and support.

When you open your own Tutu School, you gain a collection of unique programs and the comprehensive training to successfully launch them:

• CHILDREN'S CLASSES (Tutu School's special brand of early dance education, including the magical Ballet Storytime © curriculum)
• BALLET BIRTHDAY PARTIES (sweet celebrations for little dancers)
• TUTU CAMP (a comprehensive day camp program with a twist - or a twirl!)

The rewards of joining the Tutu School family don't stop with just the magic your clients will see... Behind the scenes, Tutu School owners benefit from customized software and websites, advertising and marketing tools, and an ongoing system of meaningful support.

What fees are associated with starting a Tutu School franchise?

The initial investment costs associated with launching your own Tutu School are outlined in our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), and you should carefully review that information to get a good sense of what your start-up budget might look like. The costs of starting and operating a Tutu School include an initial (one-time) franchise fee of $36,000, as well as an ongoing monthly royalty fee equal to 5% of your Tutu School location's gross revenue.

Do you need dance experience or a dance background to own your own Tutu School?

Extensive dance experience is not required to own your own Tutu School, but since art enrichment and an early introduction to ballet are at the heart of the Tutu School mission, a deep appreciation for dance is certainly a vital and guiding force to Tutu School owners. Tutu School owners without dance experience in their own background are supported by the training tools of the Tutu School system - which provides a comprehensive guide to developing successful, substantive programs - but they will need to hire instructors with dance experience who can be trained in Tutu School's curriculum; these costs should be factored into their business planning.
