What's Happening in Class and Important News for Tiny Tutus Dance Center
A special WELCOME to our new students attending Session 2: 6-8 Week Courses! We are “tutu” thrilled to have you with us! We are quickly approaching the holidays- an exciting (and sometimes hectic) time of year! For us in the dance world- this means recital preparation! In the upcoming months, a plethora of information will be sent home regarding the year end dance recital- including Recital Newsletter 2026 that was emailed a few weeks ago. We do not do this to overwhelm you, but to keep you informed so you may plan ahead, reduce confusion and most importantly, put on the best show possible! With that being said, we are here for you to answer any questions you may have.
Please take a few minutes to read through the Newsletter as it will keep you connected and up-to-date! Communication is important to us, so if you have any questions regarding your child, please don't hesitate to contact us. We love getting feedback on our program, so drop us an email and let us know how we are doing.
Sincerely,
Jaclyn and Staff

A Note about parking at union street location
Reminder about Union Street parking! Our neighbors are threatening to tow and ticket our parents! We do not want that for anyone so we are asking that you please be mindful of where you are parking, even if you are just dropping off. If our parents utilize our open parking spaces (highlighted in yellow on the map below), our parking situation should be a lot easier!
Only use our parking lot (located directly behind our building) or street parking along one side of Union St. & 3rd St. Please DO NOT park in the Church St. Station office parking lots (this includes the gravel lot where the dumpster is located), or in the Mill St. Tires parking lot (highlighted in the red on the map below). We are extremely proud of our home on Union and respect our neighbors'
wishes to keep parking separate. We expect the same respect from our staff & from our families.
Please also remember when utilizing our parking lot that it is a one way path starting at the back of the building, traveling through the parking lot, and exiting by the front of the building.
Costume Measuring Week (Recital track students only)
November 3rd-November 8th
What does this mean for families?
ATTENDANCE IS CRUCIAL! If your dancer is absent the week we start, we will measure them the next time they are in class.
Please make sure dancers are dressed in appropriate dance wear for accurate sizing! NO FLUFFY TUTUS PLEASE!
Hip-hop Students please do not wear any baggy clothing such as sweatshirts or loose sweatpants.
If you have any notes for the staff about your dancer’s size, please let your teacher know or email the office at tinytutusdancecenter@gmail.com

your dancer's class this month!
-Tutu Level -
Tutu Ballet/Tap 1
Tutu Ballet 1:
Our theme this month is Animals. The students are having fun pretending to be mice, bunnies, cats and poodles to name a few. The class favorite has to be “Little Mousies”. This exercise practices the concept of slow, fast, soft and loud while practicing on steps such as prancing, bouree turns and curtsies. We are also using rhythm sticks this month to further strengthen the concepts of slow, fast, soft and loud. Our circle song “Dancing Poodles” works not only port de bras (arm movements) but rhythms too.
Tutu Tap 1:
In tap this month, we warm-up with marches, toe taps, bunks and shuffle step jump claps. We practice hopping on one foot across the floor to the popular "Here Comes the Lion Guard"! We end class with a festive combination to "If You Are Thankful and You Know It".
Tutu Ballet/Tap 2
Tutu Ballet 2:
Our classes continue to work on their ballet steps and terms.We take the basic steps learned in our fun exercises such as "Little Mousies" and "Funny Little Bunny" and now are working on how to correctly execute the steps. The students are also working on arm position, passes (turned in and out), pas de chats and glissades.
Tutu Tap 2:
In tap this month, we warm-up with marches, heel toe, heel step, shuffle step shuffle hop, heel cramp and jump claps with a quarter turn. We practice hopping on one foot across the floor to the popular "Here Comes the Lion Guard" as well as brush steps to prepare our dancers for flaps. We end class with a festive combination to "Turkey Dance Freeze".
-Starlet Level -
Starlet Triples 1
Starlet Ballet 1:
We continue to work on basics at the barre. Working on all 5 positions of the feet, coupes, passes and battements. Dancers stretch their feet and bodies in the center before working across the floor. Across the room we are working on "spotting", glissades and chasse saute.
Starlet Tap 1:
This month, we warm up with an exciting exercise where tappers work on heel drops, spanks, shuffles, toe drops and cramp rolls! Across the floor dancers work on brush toe (slap) and flap down ball change. Class ends with fun center combinations that help work on waiting their turn, timing & listening to music while working on toe tips front and back and shuffle steps.
Starlet Jazz 1:
This month we are focused on isolations while working on jazz basics such as kick ball change, pivots, grapevines, chasse back step and 3 step turn. Across the floor we work on step ball changes and grand jetes (leaps). Students enjoy the challenge of perfecting those big leaps by jumping over stars!

In hip-hop, our dancers warm up in the center perfect ing our top rocks, a basic hip-hop step. Across the room they are working on push scoots and in center exercises we are working on controlling our bodies with isolations such as body rolls, snakes, rib and hip circles.
