Simone’s Say
Terms at Tiny Tutus just fly by like butterflies!
Hello to all our lovely families and ballerinas. I do hope that
you are having a marvellous time with us at Tiny Tutus.
Over the past few weeks I have felt my heart lifted as I read the gorgeous emails
sent in by parents praising our teachers and programs. Some of these we share on
our Facebook page. Others we share with our teachers and admin team. As a
Mummy myself, I know how busy life can be and I can’t tell you how much we
appreciate when someone takes the time to write in to us about their Tiny Tutus
experience.
Most of our Tiny Tutus Recital dates have now been announced! A Tiny Tutus
Recital is truly a UNIQUE experience. It’s about happiness and celebration. Our
ballerinas DON’T wear make-up. There’s NO sewing. There’s NO pressure on our
ballerinas to ‘know’ the dance as their teacher dances with them on stage, it’s all
about building confidence. Getting up on stage is a big step that we make beautiful
for each little person and their family. Teachers will be chatting to their classes
about our end of year recital in upcoming lessons and we’ll be sending information
out to all our families in a couple of weeks, but don’t forget to save the date! (see
page 17 for some of our recital dates)
Our new Tiny Tutus Birthday Parties seem to be all the rage with dozens of smiling
little girls twirling with delight after their ballet party. If your ballerina is having a
party, A Tiny Tutus Fairy, Princess or Ballerina party would be perfect.
As always, I need to acknowledge, with love and appreciation, the amazing team
that I am surrounded by. Our admin and teaching staff are all truly incredible
individuals who I am blessed to have with Tiny Tutus. I’d like to personally
congratulate the simply remarkable ‘Teacher of the Month’ Award winner Miss Lee,
who takes our Groote Eylandt classes and is an absolute gem. We are very lucky to
have her on board.
Sending Tutu Hugs, Simone. xx
Birthday Parties Bring the magic of Tiny Tutus to your ballerina’s next
birthday!
Our Tiny Tutus Birthday Parties have 3 themes for you to choose from; Fairyland, Princess

Make and Do
Concertina Ballerina
Step One:
Trace around concertina ballerina (pictured bottom
left) onto a piece of plain white paper. Make sure that
her hand is right against the left edge of the paper.
Tracing Tip: Place the page you want to trace onto a
window with the plain paper over the top. The image will
be much clearer making it easier to trace.
Step Two:
Find the centre of the ballerina and fold her in half,
keeping the outline outwards.
Page 8
You Will Need;
- Paper (any colour you like)
- Pencils
- Scissors
- Pens and markers for
decorating
Step Four:
Holding the paper still cut around the half
ballerina you can see on the top. You want to cut
through all the layers of paper. Be sure to not cut
the end of her hand as that is how they all
connect.
Step Five:
Now gently unfold the concertina.
There you have it, a beautiful line of concertina ballerinas dancing together just like the
four signets in Swan Lake.
Let your little dancer decorate each ballerina, or you could also try using different coloured
paper or cardboard. Once they are complete hang them above beds, or in doorways. They are
a magical, handmade addition to any ballet themed room.
Page 9
Step Three:
Now fold the paper the other way, continue
this until you have no paper left. It should
begin to look like a fan.
Make and Do
Tutu Cupcakes
Start with plain sponge cupcakes in any flavour you like. For these cupcakes
a butter cake recipe was used.
You Will Need:
- Cupcakes, cooled to room temperature
- Buttercream icing or frosting
- Pink food colouring or substitute
- A piping bag
- A piping nozzle in a star shape
- Edible decorations (edible sugar glitter,
sugar pearls, sugar hearts etc)
- White cardboard
- Coloured pens or textas
- A glue stick
- One ended tooth picks
Tutu Toppers Step One:
Print out the tutu toppers bodice template
pictured right.
You will need 2 for each cupcake.
Page 10
Step Two:
Colour and decorate each one before cutting them
out.
Step Three:
Cover the back of one bodice in glue, then place
the toothpick, sharp side down, onto the glue. Try
to make it as centred as possible and have as much
tooth pick in the bodice as possible.
Step Four:
Place the other matching bodice over the tooth
pick and hold it down until it stays in place.
Cupcake Icing Step One:
To make pink icing, take frosting and add a small
amount of food colouring. Remember you can
always go brighter but not lighter, so add small
amounts at a time. Mix well until colour has been
achieved. Repeat until it’s exactly the shade you
like, then fill your piping bag.
Page 11
Step Two:
Pipe a line of icing from the centre of the cupcake
to the outside as close to the edge as you can get
it.
Step Three:
Continue piping lines from the centre out, all the way
around the cupcake. Don’t worry if there are gaps you
can fill those later.
Step Four:
Fill the gaps around the outside with small icing stars. Place the nozzle
in the gap, squeeze a small amount of icing out, then push the nozzle
into the icing and pull it out quickly.
Step Five:
To finish, place tutu bodice into the centre of the cupcake just until the bottom is touching the
icing and decorate.

Little Ballet Helpers Tips and tricks for your little ballerina
Top Five Classical Ballets A classical ballet is a stunning performance of graceful movements, set to the moving sounds of an
orchestra. A ballet production tells an enchanting story and is something every little ballerina will
absolutely love. Here are the top five most performed stories.
Cinderella
This is the story of a young girl who finds love and happiness through
her acts of kindness.
The Nutcracker
This ballet is most prominently performed around the holiday season as it is a Christmas
classic. It follows Clara, who after being gifted a nutcracker doll, dreams of him coming to life.
Sleeping Beauty
A wonderful story of a princess who pricks her finger on a cursed
spindle putting her into a deep sleep, awaiting true loves kiss.
Swan Lake
Swan Lake may just be the most famous ballet of all time.
The story of 2 lovers, one cursed as a swan and one fooled
by an evil sorcerer. (If you’re after happy endings, you may
want to skip this one)
The Red Shoes
A tale of a ballerina torn between dancing and love, after finding the perfect pair of bright
red ballet shoes, she realises they are cursed and she can never stop dancing.

Say Cheese! We absolutely love seeing all our Tiny Tutus Ballerinas dancing, twirling and doing
what they love.
