TUMBLE BUGS

Pre-schoolers ages 3-5
Tumble Bugs is a 30-minute movement education class for pre-school aged children (ages 3-5) that focuses on early gymnastics skills. Classes include warm-ups with basic stretches, locomotor skills, forward rolls, handstands, balance beam skills, swinging on the bars, jumping on the bug board and an introduction to dance.

Parents of first time participants may need to join the class. Otherwise, we ask that parents remain in the hallway during class.

Parents are invited to observe the final class of each session.
