Ballet Classes for 2 Year Olds — what we actually teach
These are the pieces of ballet classes for 2 year olds at the Roseville studio, not a generic style list.
What Folsom parents actually ask before they drive 16–20 minutes
They just turned 2 and you want something besides the library story time. We call it ballet because we sneak in positions and music. We do not pretend it is Vaganova. Folsom families usually decide this based on Historic Sutter Street traffic and whether 16–20 minutes fits the week.
Nap-honest scheduling
If 4 p.m. is a disaster, we look at Saturday 9–noon or a daytime preschool-hour block.
A door into preschool dance
When they can leave your lap, preschool dance or 3-year-old ballet is the next room — same hallway.
Director-built, not a YouTube class
Melissa has taught young children since 2005. The playlist is not the curriculum.
You are supposed to stay
Parent-and-tot is the 2-year-old format. We will not close the door on minute one.
What age 2 (parent-and-tot / creative movement) class actually looks like
The progression is to 3-year-old pre-ballet without you on the floor -- when they are ready, not when the calendar says so. Songs, scarves or props some weeks, a march, a bow. Short. Schedule note: Preschool-hour and Saturday blocks. Weeknight 4 p.m. is often too late for a 2-year-old -- ask before you fight bedtime. Billing: Tuition is auto-billed on the 1st. Classes are not pro-rated for missed days, holidays, or the two-week summer and winter breaks. Disenrollment requires 30 days written notice.
