TutuSchools Costuming Seminars by Tutu.com is a premier educational experience for anyone interested in mastering the craft of ballet costuming. With expert-led, hands-on courses open to all skill levels, it’s the perfect place to learn, create, and connect with others who share your passion for ballet and the performing arts.

No previous experience in costume making is required-TutuSchool is designed to accommodate all skill levels, from beginners to advanced creators. However, participants must already know how to sew both by machine and by hand. Each seminar provides the opportunity to work at your own pace, choose your own projects, and receive personalized support from instructors.

Details on all courses are available in our Course Catalog and city-specific seminar website pages. The typical duration of each course varies depending on the complexity of the project, ranging from several hours to as long as five days. Participants can choose one or multiple classes and personalize each course project kit, giving them plenty of creative freedom to explore and express their unique style!
