Allison Little is a native of Franklin, TN and started dancing at the age of three. She got exposure at an early age to professional ballets, Broadway musicals, and competitions which helped give her the drive she now has as a professional teacher, choreographer, and performer. After earning her BFA in Performing Arts with an emphasis in Dance from Western Kentucky University she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her performing career. Allison’s professional experiences have taken her to LA, New York, Canada and even South America!
Allison loves performing in every genre of entertainment but her true passion is live theatre. Some of her favorite theatre credits include: The Broadway National Tour of CATS, How the Grinch Stole Christmas at The Grand Ole Opry, The Nutty Professor directed by Jerry Lewis, West Side Story & Mamma Mia (Studio Tenn), A Chorus Line, All Shook Up and Guys and Dolls. Throughout her professional experiences Allison has had the privilege to work with some of the top choreographers and directors in the world. Choreographers like Travis Payne (Michael Jackson), Joann Hunter (School of Rock Bway), Gillian Lynne (CATS), Lisa Shriver (Ring of Fire B’way), Tony G.(Bring It On Films), Lee Martino (Ovation Award Winner) and Bob Richard (How the Grinch Stole Christmas). Directors like Jerry Lewis, Kristen Blodgette (Musical Dir CATS & Phantom of the Opera Bway), Richard Stafford (CATS), and Matt Logan (Studio Tenn).
The most rewarding aspect of all of her experiences is getting to share that knowledge and passion with others! Whether she is teaching a Masterclass, choreographing a music video for a recording artist, or creating a live show from scratch, Allison pours her love of dance and the arts into every project she has. Currently, Allison is in her 7th year teaching as an Adjunct Professor at Belmont University in the College of Music and Performing Arts’ Theatre and Dance Department.
