Created by our passionate Director, Chelsea Cook, and backed by over a decade of teaching experience in early childhood dance, our programs weave together movement, music, and storytelling to spark creativity and joy. Each class is a heartwarming journey that nurtures coordination, confidence, and friendships in a playful and encouraging environment.

The Tutu Cute Experience

  • "I have been beyond impressed with the class. I find every detail and aspect to be well thought out and appropriate. From the little mats the kids stand on, to the beautiful kind and engaging nature of Miss Chelsea. The website is easy to navigate, missed classes have a video option, communication is always clear and relevant. What has especially impressed me is the ballet techniques and terminology are jam packed but so subtle the children don't even know that they are learning them. We are so grateful to have started our journey here!"

    - Mandy

  • "Ballet with Miss Chelsea is the highlight of the week! We love everything about it!"

    - Lara

  • "Miss Chelsea is an exceptional teacher and has amazing rapport with her students. Her classes are engaging and energizing. My daughters are improving with each class and Im so happy I enrolled them."

    - Anne

  • "I would absolutely recommend Tutu Cute for any little girl or boy who loves to dance. I’ve seen such wonderful growth in my little one’s ability to listen, follow instructions and join in. She loves the positive and fun classes, and all the extra props, costumes and stickers that add extra excitement to each class! "

    - Penny

  • "We have loved this introduction to dance for our daughter, who also loves attending every week. Thanks so much for a bright and cheerful class over the term."

    - Rebecca

  • "Miss Chelsea is so incredible with the kids! She is fun, kind and supportive of their efforts. We have only recently joined in Term 4 and Miss Chelsea was a beautiful welcoming presence into her gorgeous community at Tutu Cute Dance!"

    - Tayla

  • "Taking my granddaughter to Tutu Cute Dance classes over the past 3 years has been incredibly rewarding. I love that there’s no pressure and whilst the children are learning, if they’re not great at something there’s no fuss about getting things perfect. Miss Chelsea is always happy and positive."

    - Trish

About Miss Chelsea

Teacher & Director

With over a decade of experience teaching dance to the early childhood age group, Miss Chelsea is passionate about creating a joyful, nurturing space where little ones can explore movement, build confidence, and let their imaginations shine.

A professionally trained dancer, Chelsea began her dance journey at the age of four, training across all major genres. She was accepted into the Queensland Youth Ballet touring company in her youth and later earned her Advanced Diploma in Dance from the Australian Dance Performance Institute in Brisbane, under the guidance of the esteemed Harold Collins - former principal dancer and later artistic director of the Queensland Ballet.

Her professional career has taken her around the world, including time as a feature dancer for Carnival Cruise Lines, working with top international choreographers from Las Vegas, London, and Miami. A highlight was performing alongside Las Vegas master illusionist, Jason Byrne as both a featured dancer and magician’s assistant. 

Today, as the proud Director of Tutu Cute Dance, Chelsea brings all her sparkle and stage experience into a world made just for tiny feet and big imaginations. Her greatest joy is watching little ones take their very first twirls, guiding them gently as they discover the wonder of movement, music, and make-believe. With each giggle, skip, and twirl, Chelsea helps plant the seeds of confidence, creativity, and most importantly - a lifelong love of dance.

• Celebrating 10 Years of Tutu Cute

  • Classes at Tutu Cute Dance are offered on a term basis to provide structure and consistency for our little dancers. Casual classes aren't available, however if you're joining mid-term, you'll only be charged for the remaining classes (after your free trial).

  • No worries at all! You’ll only be invoiced for the number of classes left in the term following your free trial class.

  • We keep it fun and flexible - no uniforms required! Your child can wear anything they feel comfy and confident in. Think:

    • Leggings and a t-shirt

    • A tutu or ballet leotard

    • Their favourite costume 

    • Bare feet are welcome

    Ballet shoes will be available for purchase at class, however there is no obligation to buy - our focus is on fun! 

  • That’s completely okay - and very common! New spaces and new faces can feel a little overwhelming at first. That’s exactly why we offer a free trial class and welcome parents into the room. Some little ones need a few visits to feel fully comfortable, and that’s perfectly normal. Just being in the space, soaking up the music and energy, often helps - and before you know it, they’ll be twirling along with the rest of the class!

  • Absolutely! We’re proud to be one of the few dance schools that encourage parents to stay and watch (in fact it is mandatory for them to have a guardian in the room with them). We believe it's magical for parents to be part of the joy and progress their little ones experience each week. 

  • Yes, little siblings are welcome to tag along! To keep the class flowing smoothly, we kindly ask that you bring along toys or quiet activities to keep them entertained, so they don't distract the dancers.
