INTRO

From 2 year olds participating in their first class to elementary age students in our Silver Starz program, we offer a progressive approach to learning gymnastics.  Beginning with the basics, our enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructors challenge each child with skills and movements designed to further their strength, flexibility and gymnastics abilities.  At the end of each 9 to 10 week session parents receive skill sheets detailing their child’s mastery of skills and recommending the class level for the next session.
