News from our Teams...
New Girls Competitive Gymnastics Team
We are very excited to have a level 4 competitive girls gymnastics team. Our gymnastics program has been running for a little over a year now and this team has grown directly out of our classes. We would like to acknowledge all the hard work these girls have put in, some of them had no gymnastics experience before joining our club. The level 4’s currently attend class 2 times a week for 2 hours each practice. They are working hard to learn new skills and memorize the USA Gymnastics level 4 routines. We intend to start having the girls compete in meets starting in the 2008 competitive season. The girls are excited and looking forward to competing and showing off their routines. The girls will be competing on all four women’s Olympic events, vault, bars, beam and floor. We are always looking for additions to this team. All of our current team members came from classes and we continue to scan classes for those who may be interested in a more challenging class. Congratulations new Level 4’s, keep up the good work. Those of you in general classes, keep working hard and this could be you too.

Current Class Activities
New to Our Area
News from Our Teams:
Guess what's new to our area:
In a Kindermusik class, educators lead a group of parents and their children through joyful activities, using music and movement. Parents learn more about their child's unique developmental process, and the shared learning experience creates a unique bond as the child associates learning with fun, musical play.
The learning process continues at home, guided by specially designed books, CDs, and games.
- Movement and dance activities improve coordination and balance.
- One-on-one parent and child interaction nurtures self-esteem.
- Music-making and music listening activities develop self-discipline, as well as critical and creative thinking skills.
Kindermusik classes are now forming and will be meeting during the day at Kids World Gymnastics facilities.
Contact us for more information.
