From the reviews

My energetic 5 y/o son loves everything about his classes at The Little Gym of Aberdeen. As a mom, I absolutely agree! Owner Shannon was so helpful and patient when we were choosing what class would best benefit Benjamin (new to gymnastics), as well as explaining class costs and scheduling.

We just had our son's 2nd birthday party at The Little Gym of Aberdeen in February 2018. He has been going to the gym since he was 4.5/5 months old. We all love his classes - Mr. Joe and Mr. Frank have been his teachers, so we decided it was a great idea to have his birthday party there too. We are SO glad we did.

★★★★★ — Krista, Mar 2018

The Little Gym of Aberdeen has been such a positive experience for my son and I alike. We have been going to class each week since September 2022, and the past couple of months, I have seen a huge difference in my son’s ability to be flexible with directional play and gained social/emotional well-being.

★★★★★ — Krista, Apr 2023

My son has been attending classes at The Little Gym since he was 10 months old. He has learned so much in the year that he has been attending, from learning how to walk independently on the safe and squishy big, red mat to learning how to do a forward roll on his own!

Your first ballet class at The Little Gym of Aberdeen

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
