From the reviews

My 15 month old LOVES classes at The Little Gym. We started a little over a month ago when he hadn’t shown any interest in walking yet (though he’d already taken his first steps). After a few weeks of seeing the other kids zooming around him, he finally started to walk!

★★★★★ — Karilyn, May 2024

My son loves to come to class although he is a bit shy doing some of the group activities. The little beast class is perfect for his physical needs. He loves Ms Abba and Ms Kayla when they are hosting class.

★★★★★ — Brian, Nov 2025

We have been going from the age of 11months-17months, and I've never regretted it. My daughter cried the first time she did a forward roll, but now? Now she has the confidence to try and roll on her own, get up on the balance beam by herself, and gets so excited to go see "Hedder.

★★★★★ — Order, Nov 2025

We’ve been going to the Little Gym for the past year and love it. The teachers are incredibly patient and kind, which has been great for our extremely timid toddler as she transitions from the parent/child to independent class. She adores Ms Randalynn and Ms. Heather, and we’re excited to get to know Ms.

Your first ballet class at The Little Gym of W. Knoxville-Farragut

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.
