Local context
Preschool Ballet and Folsom
Folsom already has rec and school arts. The comparison is not “is there anything?” – it is whether a children’s studio with ECE-trained teachers is worth the 16–20 minutes versus a drop-in at a rec center near Sutter Street. Folsom (city) had 80,454 people on April 1, 2020 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Decennial Census (QuickFacts, population April 1, 2020)).

The Folsom Cordova Unified School District is the public-school frame. Dance as a twice-weekly class for a preschooler is usually off-campus. Distance from the Harding Blvd studio is about 7.9 miles as the crow flies (Driving distance); plan 16–20 minutes in normal traffic.

Preschool Ballet — what we actually teach
These are the pieces of preschool ballet at the Roseville studio, not a generic style list.
What Folsom parents actually ask before they drive 16–20 minutes
You heard we teach at area preschools and want the studio version. Melissa designed this after many years in preschool-through-school-age rooms, not after a marketing brief. Folsom families generally make this decision based on Historic Sutter Street traffic and if 16–20 minutes works for the week.
Studio and on-site
We also teach at area preschools. This page is the Roseville studio class — call if you want the on-site question.
A ramp into ballet & barre
When they can stand a more technical hour, they move to the ballet page. Same director, same building.
Preschool hours, not just 6 p.m.
Mornings and Saturday mornings exist. That is the whole reason some families can come at all.
ECE lesson plans
Teachers are trained in early childhood education. The class looks like good preschool with better feet.
What ages 2–5 class actually looks like
Listening is 50% of the game. “Line up” is a skill. Performance is on the table for those kids ready for a little stage time. No guarantees of a starring role at 4. Tuition Schedule: Weekday mornings and afternoons and Saturday. This is how we balance our half-day preschool with nappers. Billing: Tuition is auto-billed on the 1st. Classes are not pro-rated for absences, holidays, or our two week summer and winter breaks. Disenrollment requires 30 days written notice.
