CLASSES
- Upon arrival your child needs to place all their items in a cubby located underneath the windows.
- Please encourage the younger children to use the restrooms prior to class so they are not loosing valuable class time using the bathrooms.
- Each class begins with warm-ups. This is a very important part of gymnastics to assure that your child’s body is properly warmed-up to prevent injury. Therefore, be sure to arrive a few minutes early so your child does not miss warm-ups.
- Please allow our instructors to instruct the class and your child; there is a progressive curriculum and skills for each level. Do not try to talk to your child during class. It is important for them to keep their focus and attention on the class goals.
- Expect repetition of various skills.
