Encouraging a lifelong love of health & fitness through engaging lessons and passionate teachers.
At Heart & Soul Kids, we know children are most passionate about their physical and mental health when engaged, appropriately challenged, and having fun with friends!
Founded in 2013, by GymCat Alumni and Tucson native, Deanna Sherman, Heart & Soul Kids provides a variety of child-centered classes, activities, and events for your family.
Our three convenient Tucson-area locations welcome over a thousand children weekly for dance, gymnastics, and ninja classes… as well as those who join us for birthday parties, summer camps, and date nights!

Heart & Soul Kids is an all-recreational studio.
Unlike most recreational programs, Heart & Soul Kids makes it our mission to let kids have an authentic gymnastics and dance experience without the pressure of the competitive pipeline. Teachers and coaches follow proprietary lesson plans for classes and activities to ensure children learn new things.
When you become a member of Heart & Soul Kids, you become a member of our family.
“This is such a special place!
The staff is always kind, considerate, hard-working, excellent and understanding of children and their varying needs, and quick to listen to and respond to feedback. The classes are very age-appropriate and have brought lots of joy and learning. We cherish our time at Heart & Soul and look forward to class every week!
If you’re debating between this place or sending your child somewhere else, opt for Heart & Soul, you won’t regret the choice the instant you need excellent customer service and a place [where] your child will have fun!”
- Samantha H.
Our team strives to not only support your child’s skills but to help them grow in their self-esteem, self-respect, and self-worth.
Our recreational classes provide a space for children to explore and discover the activities that bring them joy and help build a positive relationship with their physical and mental health. Our teachers and coaches can get to know you and your children meaningfully by emphasizing small class sizes.
I grew up putting my heart and soul into my many pursuits and feel blessed to continue on this incredible path with our studios. There are truly no limits when you give your heart and soul!
– Deanna Sherman, Founder & Owner
