A Tutu School franchise bringing joyful ballet and movement to children across California, Washington, and Colorado.
Twirling Princess is a beloved dance program offering Tutu School's acclaimed ballet curriculum to young children ages 2–8. With ten studios across California, Washington, and Colorado, we bring the same joy, warmth, and quality to every location in our family. Our Washington studios operate locally as TwirlingZ and our Colorado studios as Dancing Hero.
Our small class sizes ensure every child receives individual attention and encouragement. Our faculty are trained in Tutu School's developmentally appropriate curriculum, and our studios are designed to feel beautiful, cozy, and full of just enough sparkle to feel truly magical.
Twirling Princess is a proud franchisee of Tutu School — a nationally recognized early childhood dance program with studios across the United States. Tutu School's Ballet Storytime curriculum brings classical ballets to life while promoting positive values like kindness, bravery, and imagination. Every class is thoughtfully designed for where young dancers are developmentally, making their first experience with ballet magical and meaningful.

Sonya's connection to Tutu School began the way it does for so many families — through her daughter. After witnessing the joy and growth her child experienced week after week in class, she knew she had found something truly special. With years of experience in business operations, she made the leap to bring that same magic to children across multiple regions.
Today, Sonya operates ten Twirling Princess studios across California, Washington, and Colorado — locally branded as Twirling Princess (CA), TwirlingZ (WA), and Dancing Hero (CO). She is committed to maintaining high-quality, well-trained faculty, fostering Tutu School's curriculum of creativity and joy, and engaging meaningfully with the families and communities each studio serves.
Sonya grew up with fond memories of attending ballet and music lessons with her mother — and is proud to help create those same lasting memories for a new generation of children.
