Local context
Ballet & Barre Classes and Antelope
Antelope is a 48,733-person (2020) census-designated place (CDP) that’s unincorporated, meaning it has no city rec department of its own. Parents who live here already cross into Roseville for shopping; a class at Harding Plaza will be on that same northbound commute habit. (Antelope (unincorporated CDP) had a population of 48,733 as of April 1, 2020 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Decennial Census (QuickFacts, population April 1, 2020)).) Landmarks parents actually use: Antelope Road, North Loop, and Donnell Overlook area. Center High School is a high school reference point. Center Joint Unified School District is the public-school catchment frame. Dance as a twice-weekly class for a preschooler is usually off-campus. Driving distance from the Harding Blvd studio is about 4.7 miles; allow 12–15 minutes if traffic is normal. Ballet & Barre Classes at Tutu: Classical ballet with real barre time — pliés, tendus, and center work — not a tutu costume class that skips technique. Older students who are ready work toward pointe prep; nobody is forced onto box shoes early. Wear: Leotard, ballet-pink tights, pink slippers. Hair in a bun or tight ponytail. That is the dress code, not a suggestion, once they enroll. Hours: Monday–Thursday 4:00–8:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m.–noon (Friday and Sunday closed). Melissa Reich opened the studio in 2015 and has taught since 2005. Staff bios — including Kima Lee (B.A. Dance, Sacramento State, 2023 Exemplary Student Award) — are on the About page. Shows: The Nutcracker (December; 2026 date TBA); Summer Showcase. A free trial class is available — call 916.276.8408 or use the contact form. Tuition is quoted by phone; we do not publish rates here.

Ballet & Barre Classes — what we actually teach
These are the pieces of ballet & barre classes at the Roseville studio, not a generic style list.
What Antelope parents actually ask before they drive 12–15 minutes
You have heard pointe stories that scared you --- and they should, if the kid is 8. Pointe prep is listed as ages 10+ on our style cards. We will hold a student back. That is the point of prep. Antelope families usually make this decision based on Antelope Road traffic and whether 12–15 minutes fits the week.
Same studio as the other styles
If they add tap or jazz later, they do not change buildings.
Dress code is clear
Leotard, pink tights, slippers, hair up. Buy once; we will not surprise you with a new “required” shoe every month.
Pre-ballet for the little ones
Ages 2+ start with creative movement and basic positions — not a silent barre they cannot reach.
Pointe when the body is ready
Pointe prep is built as a later step (we list ages 10+). Strength and placement come first.
What ages 2 and up class actually looks like
Nutcracker casting is a ballet-heavy show. Summer Showcase still incorporates ballet students. We will notify you if another style (tap, jazz) should sit out a session in order to maintain a ballet base. Class schedule: Weekday evenings and Saturday mornings in the Harding Blvd studio. Billing: Tuition is automatically charged on the 1st. Classes are not pro-rated for missed days/holidays or during the two week summer and winter break periods. 30 days written notice is required to disenroll.
