Cheer and Tumbling
The Dance Corner offers cheerleading, tumbling and gymnastics programs for boys and girls ages 2 1/2 and up. Our instructors are certified by Acrobatic Arts and Tumbling Effect and believe in progressive learning to keep young bodies safe and free from injuries that can occur through improper training techniques or self-teaching of tricks. We encourage dancers to add tumbling and gymnastics classes with us to their schedule to increase their flexibility and add acrobatics skills to their repertoire.
