History
Tippi Toes began in 1999 when a college student, Sarah Nuse, started teaching dance classes to children as a way to share joy, confidence, and creativity. What began as a small local program quickly captured the hearts of families and communities, proving there was a true demand for a positive, uplifting approach to children’s dance education.
As the classes grew, so did the mission—to empower children everywhere through movement and self-expression. In 2009, Tippi Toes began franchising, giving entrepreneurs the opportunity to bring this beloved program to their own communities. Today, Tippi Toes has expanded across the United States and internationally, operating in schools, childcare centers, and community spaces with its award-winning music and curriculum.
With over two decades of experience, Tippi Toes has built a strong foundation of brand recognition, franchise support, and community impact. Its vision for continued success remains clear: to spread confidence, creativity, and happiness—one child and one dance class at a time.
