Preschool Ballet — what we actually teach
These are the pieces of preschool ballet at the Roseville studio, not a generic style list.
What Lincoln parents actually ask before they drive 16–20 minutes
You need morning class because evenings are sports or second job. Morning block and Saturday block exist because preschoolers are wrecked at 6 p.m. Lincoln families usually make this decision based on Twelve Bridges traffic and whether 16–20 minutes works for the week.
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.
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.
ECE lesson plans
Teachers are trained in early childhood education. The class looks like good preschool with better feet.
Before you buy the shoes
Listening counts for half the equation. “Line up” is a skill. Ballet vocabulary + tap-adjacent silliness on some days if they are in the wider preschool program — ask which track you are enrolling for. Sched note: Weekday mornings, weekday afternoons, and Saturday. See how we accommodate half-day preschoolers with nappers. Billing: Tuition auto-billed on the 1st. Classes are not pro-rated for missed days, holidays or for the two-week summer and winter breaks. 30 days written notice is required to disenroll.
