YMCA Gymnastics & Dance Classes
Gymnastics classes for children and families focus on enhancing basic body movement, coordination, and muscle development by developing balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, and endurance. The movements involved in gymnastics contribute to the development of the arms, legs, shoulders, back, chest, and abdominal muscle groups.
Our USAG-certified gymnastics Club provides gymnastics programs for individuals at all levels, from beginners to advanced. All of our gymnastics staff members are highly trained and hold certification as USAG gymnastics instructors.

Enrollment
Our classes are thoughtfully designed to cater to the individual needs of each child. Our gymnastics program takes into account various crucial factors, including the developmental stages of physical, emotional, social, and cognitive aspects at the time of enrollment. Each gymnast will be placed in the course corresponding to their age at the time of enrollment. In the event that their birthday falls within a session, they will be scheduled to enroll in the subsequent course during the next session. Click here to register

Missed Classes
Payment secures a gymnast’s spot in class for the full session, regardless of attendance. Tuition is non-refundable and cannot be credited or prorated for missed classes, including those due to illness, vacation, holidays, or weather.
Make-up classes are not guaranteed due to limited space, staffing, and availability.
Appropriate Attire
For safety, gymnasts should wear a leotard (with or without shorts) or tight-fitted shorts and a compression shirt. Avoid clothing that exposes the midsection, as it can cause abrasions.
Please do not wear dance leotards with skirts, loose clothing, or items with zippers, buttons, or drawstrings, as they pose safety risks. Jewelry is not allowed, except for small stud earrings.
Hair
For everyone’s safety, please make sure your child’s hair is tied back and away from their face before class. We’re unable to provide hair ties, and gymnasts with loose hair may not be able to participate. Thank you for helping us keep all gymnasts safe!
Hydration
Drop Off
Parents are kindly asked to accompany their children to the Gymnastics Center door and assist them in storing their socks, shoes, coats, and any other belongings in the designated blue cubbies located outside the Gymnastics Center. Please advise your child that chewing gum is not allowed, as it poses a choking hazard. Only children are allowed inside the gymnastics room during classes. Thank you for your cooperation.
