Preschool Ballet — what we actually teach
These are the pieces of preschool ballet at the Roseville studio, not a generic style list.
What Orangevale parents actually ask before they drive 14–18 minutes
They're 5 and going to age out of "cute" classes that teach nothing. Melissa designed this after years in preschool-through-school-age rooms, not off a marketing brief. Orangevale families typically make this decision based on the traffic at Orangevale Community Park and whether 14–18 minutes works with 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.
Preschool hours, not just 6 p.m.
Mornings and Saturday mornings exist. That is the whole reason some families can come at all.
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.
