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, director 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 span over 20 years and have taken her from Nashville 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 the legendary Jerry Lewis, Cabaret, West Side Story & Mamma Mia with Studio Tenn, Mary Poppins, Elf and choreographing 9 to 5 at Nashville Repertory Theatre, A Chorus Line, All Shook Up, 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). Other non-theatre credits include dancing/choreographing for: Mary Kay, Lifeway, Valerie June, Integrity Music, Ni/Co, Violet Lavelle, and The Music City Queens.

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, or creating a live show from scratch, Allison pours her love of creativity, dance, and art into every project she has.

Currently, Allison is in her 4th year teaching at Roots Academy and will be directing their first full musical, Matilda Jr. this fall ’24 with the launch of their new Musical Theatre program! She is also their director for the Triple Threat Camps in the Summer and teaches Musical Theatre dance classes throughout the school year. She has been an Adjunct Professor at Belmont University in the College of Music and Performing Arts’ Theatre and Dance Department and the School of Music for the past 10 years teaching and choreographing. This fall marks her 11th year at this prestigious University.
