Gymnastics classes at the Robert Thomas Dancenter focus on five areas including:

• Flexibility
• Strength
• Terminology
• Movement Awareness
• Group Coordination

These skills are introduced during the pre-school years by role playing & follow-the-leader activities. In the years that follow, more skills are integrated and experience becomes a factor. As strength increases so does ability. More difficult skills are learned the higher the ability of the student. Once the skills are mastered, they are combined with other skills to form passes. By the end of the year, the passes are put to music in the form of a routine for the yearly recital.
