Building confidence to take on new challenges.

Nothing is better than gymnastics, tumbling, and dance for helping kids to develop balance and coordination, plus the confidence that’s won as a child takes on new challenges. In Y Gymnastics, students are introduced to equipment, proper form and safety, and developmentally-appropriate gymnastics skills.

Preschool Gymnastics & Dance

No experience is necessary for this introduction to gymnastics for preschoolers. Students are introduced to equipment, proper form and safety, and basic gymnastics skills including forward and backward rolls, handstands, cartwheels and basic skills on equipment.
