Local context
Ballet Classes for 4 Year Olds and Fair Oaks
Fair Oaks Village is a walkable pocket; the remainder of the CDP is strung out along the parkway. Parents who already use Sunrise for errands could keep that line north, rather than teaching a new freeway for one class. Fair Oaks (unincorporated CDP), April 1, 2020 United States population: 32,514 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Decennial Census (QuickFacts, population April 1, 2020)). Places parents actually use: Fair Oaks Village, American River Parkway, Madison Avenue. High school that's our point of reference: Bella Vista High School. School district that's the public-school frame: San Juan Unified School District. Dance as a twice-weekly class for a preschooler is usually off-campus. Driving distance from the Harding Blvd studio is about 7.5 miles; allow 16–20 minutes in normal traffic. Four is the year a lot of kids can hold a line, copy a port de bras, and remember that “first position” is heels together. Still pre-ballet — more structure than a 2-year-old class, less than a 7-year-old barre. Wear: Leotard, tights, slippers if you have them. Hair off the face. We will nudge the bun 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. We offer a free trial class — call 916.276.8408 or use the contact form. Tuition is quoted by phone; we do not publish rates here.

Ballet Classes for 4 Year Olds — what we actually teach
These are the pieces of ballet classes for 4 year olds at the Roseville studio, not a generic style list.
What Fair Oaks parents actually ask before they drive 16–20 minutes
Friends are already signed up for soccer on those nights. There is no need to hold your child until a "Ballet I" label is applied. The work is the same concepts, just at a 4 year old pace. Fair Oaks families typically make this decision based on Fair Oaks Village traffic and if the 16-20 minutes per week works.
Recital without the scare tactics
Nutcracker and Showcase are on the studio calendar. A 4-year-old performs if they are ready, not because we sold a package.
Steps they can name
Plié, tendu, and a simple port de bras — said out loud, repeated, not hidden in a game forever.
Dress code ramps up
After trial, we want leotard and slippers. That is part of the “this is class” cue at this age.
The “I can do it myself” year
Four-year-olds want independence. Class is structured so they can succeed without a parent on the floor.
A normal week in ballet classes for 4 year olds
Even if they're advanced, we still will not advance them into an 8-year-old class. Our policy is based on both age and skill. We begin gently correcting sickle feet, but we don't yell across the room at them to do it. Schedule note: Weekday evenings and Saturday mornings; some blocks at preschool-hours if that works better with nap schedules. Billing: Tuition is auto-billed on the 1st. Classes are not pro-rated for any missed days, holidays, or the two week summer and winter breaks. Disenrollment requires 30 days written notice.
