From the reviews

My daughter has been enrolled for about 2 months now and is THRIVING. We love her instructor, Angie. It truly is a great active program while teaching them independence and listening skills. The only negative thing I have encountered is when some parents bring their child who has a cough or runny nose.

★★★★☆ — G, Dec 2022

I like the combo gymnastics dance classes as it gives my 6-year old daughter a taste of different forms of exercise and movement.She loves this format which is the right length of time too, not too short and not too long.

★★★★★ — Victoria, Nov 2019

My kid loves this gymnastics class for toddlers. She gets so excited for gym class every week, and she’s told her friends at preschool all about it. The gym instructors are very kind, patient, and good at wrangling the kids.

★★★★★ — Penny, Nov 2025

Today my son Muhammad’s first class in here. To be honest very very happy to be here. Very clean room, helpful and kind teachers, nice location, safe and clean equipment. Ratio is 1 teacher for 4 kids. Parents can see their child through the window while they are training. They have huge and free parking spots.

Your first ballet class at The Little Gym of La Canada

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.
