Dance:
Our unique dance class curriculum combines ballet, tap, creative movement and gymnastics to improve balance, posture and grace. Your child will learn the basic steps and positions while building flexibility, strength and coordination. Our music increases their listening skills while improving rhythm and poise.

The Little Gym® dance instructors are specially trained to guide your dancer as they tap, pirouette, and leap with joy. Our nurturing, non-competitive and creative environment allows students to express themselves with new skills and techniques.

Each week, our dance lesson plans spark creativity and offer a new opportunity to excel. At the end of each semester, dancers perform their routines during Show Week and revel in the cheers and applause of delighted moms and dads.

Gymnastics:
We’ve segmented our youth gymnastics classes into Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced to give students the chance to tackle the mat, vault, bar and beam at their own skill level. As a child gains new skills, they are encouraged to advance to the next level.

Our Children's Gymnastics classes focus on:

* Advancing physical strength, flexibility and coordination through gymnastics training
* Improving each child’s gymnastics skill proficiency
* Improving confidence and expressive skills in social settings
* Active group participation
* Increasing willingness to take on leadership roles
* Learning to handle success and disappointment
* Increasing problem-solving and decision-making abilities
* Maintaining attention and sustained concentration

Sport Skills:
Our Sports Skills Development classes teach children strength, coordination and teamwork in a fun, non-competitive environment. Our sports skills development program is designed to build confidence and create the foundation for a lifetime of positive sports experiences.

Karate:
Children learn basic karate blocks, punches and kicks in a fun, non-competitive atmosphere.

Cheerleading:
Cheerleading is our most energetic - not to mention loudest - class at The Little Gym®. The stunts, jumps, chants and cheers give your little one a healthy first step towards an active lifestyle. And at the same time they learn teamwork, trust and cooperation.
