Handstands Galore! Handstands are not only fun, but they are also a foundational skill in gymnastics. A good handstand strengthens the entire body! In this class, I will teach proper handstand technique as well as provide drills to help master the skill. I will also point out common mistakes gymnasts make. We will start with a warm up and stretching followed by instruction and practice. I will provide feedback and encouragement to each gymnast and we will close our time together with a cool down. There is no prior experience necessary. Even students who are still working on mastering their cartwheel are welcome in this class. In fact, students may gain strength that will help them with their cartwheel as well! Please provide students will an open space that is free of obstacles. They will also need carpet or an exercise mat.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Lesa. I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education as well as a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction. I have 16 years of teaching experience including public school, private school, and home school. In addition I have taught level 1-3 gymnastics for 4 years.
I use my education and experience to create fun, useful, and memorable classes for my students. I currently teach gymnastics. You will find my classroom environment to be happy, positive, and full of encouragement. I love teaching and watching students learn, grow, and development into the people they are meant to be.
I also have 5 children of my own. As a mother of five, I know how important education is and I understand the desire to give your children incredible opportunities. Therefore, I am committed to giving you my best with every class.
While I spend most of my time teaching children, I do have some other interests of my own. I love the ocean, the sun, and blue skies. I enjoy exercise, hiking, and visiting new places. I was raised on sweet tea and still enjoy sipping it while sitting on my porch.
I hope to meet your child in class very soon!Reviews
