About the Performance program
Coaches focus on mastery of ribbon, clubs, ball, hoop and rope, along with advanced leaps and turns and detailed choreography. Gymnasts help shape their own routines, including the music, so each one reflects their style.
Each season ends with our Gala, a non-competitive showcase where gymnasts perform for family and friends. The program asks for more commitment and practice, and suits athletes who love to perform and enjoy a challenge in a supportive club.
