About
Step into an engaging environment in which the beginner gymnast can explore the basics of rhythmic gymnastics using props such as balls, scarves, or stuffed animals. Our coaches lead gymnasts through stretches, body skills, and apparatus tricks, improving the child’s strength, flexibility, and coordination. This class is centered on acquiring basic techniques, but we will also work on learning fun skills like bridges, splits, candlesticks, and handstands. Through games, contests, dance, and one on one interaction, your child will be inspired to practice more and keep moving!
