Our class is strictly floor work and does not perform any gymnastics with bars or beams. Sample moves include front & back rolls, headstands, backbends, cartwheels, walkovers, back handsprings, etc. Students learn flexibility and strength while acquiring valuable skills that can be used for cheerleading and dance.
