In this ongoing class, athletes with previous stretching experience will meet to continue growing their flexibility, and learn new floor and acro tricks! This class is perfect for gymnasts, cheerleaders, dancers, ice skaters, and more who would like to continue growing their flexibility, and learn acrobatic tricks. As this class is ongoing, and one week does not build upon the next, learners may come and go as they please! 

If your learner is new to stretching, or simply is not interested in floor tricks and acro, check out my “Stretch and Flexibility Class for 5-10 year olds". 

**As this class focuses on advanced stretching techniques and acrobatic floor tricks, it is important that athletes have previous stretching and tumbling experience, including having mastered the following skills to join**:
-Strong Bridges *plus bridges from standing
-“Good Leg” Split (flat on the floor)
-Forward Rolls
-Backward Rolls
-Handstands
-Cartwheels
If your learner has not mastered these tumbling skills, check out my “Beginner A” and “Beginner B” Gymnastics Classes.
