Finally!!! Dance classes created specifically for gymnasts!
As a coach, I get the opportunity to travel around the country teaching the sport that I grew up loving, and as I travel, one of the things I hear most often when talking to coaches and parents, is how hard it is to find a dance teacher that understands how to teach dance for gymnastics, so that dance isn't just a fun class, but something that is actually improving their gymnastics.
How can dance improve our gymnastics? By reinforcing the techniques of every single leap, jump and turn that a gymnast will ever do, which all have their foundation in Ballet! So when we improve our dance we improve our:
-Leaps
-Jumps
-Turns
-Landings
-Posture
-Performance
-Core strength
-Shaping on All the Events
Each one of these areas, have their foundation in Ballet and dance, and each area affects a gymnast's artistry and execution scores, so when we improve our dance foundation, our scores go up.
Having never been a power tumbler, dance was the way that I was able to boost my score and throughout my own career, I proved that we can actually dance our way to a higher score!

ATTENTION Coaches & Parents!!!
The CODE is Changing!!!
​
This year, the code is changing to include more deductions for artistry and execution, which means anyone not working to improve in those areas is going to see lower scores!
