Class descriptions:

 

KINDERGYM

 

Learning through play is fundamental to the Kindergym program. By Incorporating skill acquisition into games, children discover their confidence & abilities. Balance and muscular development occur simply through participation. Basic movement patterns; landings, locomotions are systematically explored. 

 

Focus is placed on fitness, fun & fundamentals of a gymnastics practice. 

 

 GYMNASTICS - all classes are co-ed

 

This class is about fun and fundamentals. Weekly classes include games that involve good cardiovascular workouts, new skill acquisition, repetition of prior learned skills to reinforce development, stretching and condition workshops. Repetition of skills to ensure solidity of learned material become "muscle memory" and hopefully will never be forgotten.

Parkour practitioners jump, climb, and vault over obstacles in their path. Their goal is to get from point A to point B as efficiently as possible. Emphasis will be placed on learning the foundations of how to move creatively with jumps, twists, swings and climbing. 

 

Sessions always include games and stretch workshops; this class offers a more movement specific focus.
