Local context
Ballet & Barre Classes and Rocklin
Rocklin grew by over 14,000 people from 2010 to 2020. RUSD performing-arts opportunities appear primarily at middle and high school, so parents of a 2- to 6-year-old are likely searching off-campus for a bona fide class, not a drop-in rec-center Saturday. (Rocklin (city), April 1, 2020 Population, U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Decennial Census (QuickFacts, population April 1, 2020).) Rocklin Unified School District is the public-school context. Recognizable landmarks: Sunset Whitney Recreation Area, Sierra College, and Quarry Park. High-school reference point: Whitney High School. Dance as a twice-weekly class for a preschooler is often off-campus. The driving distance from the Harding Blvd studio is about 3.9 miles; allow 8–10 minutes in typical traffic. Ballet & Barre Classes at Tutu: Classical ballet with real barre time — pliés, tendus, and center work — not a tutu costume class that glosses over technique. Older students who are ready work toward pointe prep; no one is pushed onto box shoes prematurely. Wear: Leotard, ballet-pink tights, pink slippers. Hair in a bun or tight ponytail. That's the dress code, not a suggestion, once they join. Hours: Monday–Thursday 4:00–8:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m.–noon (Friday and Sunday closed). Melissa Reich founded the studio in 2015 and has taught since 2005. Staff bios — including Kima Lee (B.A. Dance, Sacramento State, 2023 Exemplary Student Award) — on the About page.

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 Rocklin parents actually ask before they drive 8–10 minutes
You have read pointe stories that have horrified you -- and they should, if the kid is 8. Stretching and conditioning are in the hour, not a paid extra. Rocklin parents often make this choice based on Sunset Whitney Recreation Area traffic and whether 8–10 minutes works in the week.
Pre-ballet for the little ones
Ages 2+ start with creative movement and basic positions — not a silent barre they cannot reach.
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.
Pointe when the body is ready
Pointe prep is built as a later step (we list ages 10+). Strength and placement come first.
A normal week in ballet & barre classes
Nutcracker casting is very ballet-heavy. Even in the Summer Showcase we will still have ballet students. If you have another style (tap, jazz, etc.) we will let you know if it is best to skip a session so you can take ballet and stick with it. Schedule: Weekday evenings and Saturday mornings at the Harding Blvd studio. Billing: Tuition is automatically billed on the 1st of the month. Classes will not be prorated for missed days, holidays or for the two week summer and winter breaks. If you need to disenroll, 30 days written notice is required.
