Preschool Ballet — what we actually teach
These are the pieces of preschool ballet at the Roseville studio, not a generic style list.
What Fair Oaks parents actually ask before they drive 16–20 minutes
You want ballet before kindergarten, without serious-studio attitude. Morning and Saturday blocks are the point, because preschoolers are fried at 6 p.m. Fair Oaks parents choose this only by Fair Oaks Village traffic and whether 16–20 minutes works for the week.
A ramp into ballet & barre
When they can stand a more technical hour, they move to the ballet page. Same director, same building.
ECE lesson plans
Teachers are trained in early childhood education. The class looks like good preschool with better feet.
Preschool hours, not just 6 p.m.
Mornings and Saturday mornings exist. That is the whole reason some families can come at all.
Listening is the hidden curriculum
Turns, freeze, wait your turn. Kindergarten teachers notice that more than a perfect tendu.
Before you buy the shoes
Showcase is available for children who are comfortable on stage. We will not be guaranteeing a part at 4 years old. Listening is half the battle. "Line up" is a skill. Schedule note: weekday morning, afternoon and Saturday. This is how we make our half day preschool and nappers classes line up. Billing: Tuition is automatically billed on the 1st. Classes are not prorated for missed days, holidays, or the two week summer and winter break. Disenrollment requires 30 days written notice.
