Classes

In addition to the 8 different classes we offer for kids age 2 and up, we also host birthday parties, field trips or offer kids the opportunity to help refine skills with scheduling private lessons at the facility. The activities in the classes are designed to improve balance, coordination, strength and flexibility while reinforcing good social skills within a group environment.

Tumblers (4-5 years)

This introductory class will give children their first experience with gymnastics. The class focuses on the development of fine motor skills while increasing coordination and strength. Children will learn basic gymnastics terms and be exposed to the balance beam, uneven bars, floor and an obstacle course, in a safe, fun environment.
