Why Gymnastics?

From before we are born, we move!  It's part of our being, and part of our existence.

Gymnastics is fun, and it's a healthy activity.

Stand, walk, run, stop.  Hop, gallop, skip, jump, leap.  Climb, hang, swing.  Roll, cartwheel, bridge, handstand, flip, somersault, spin, turn upside down.  Fly!

All of these movements are part of a concept called "Dominant Movement Patterns".   A comprehensive gymnastics curriculum teaches the dominant movement patters that form the basic physical movement vocabulary for all sports. 

Gymnastics is a foundational sport.  It's the essential base from which all physical movement builds.
