Cheer Tumbling Classes
We offer classes that are appropriate for ages 4 and up, and can accomodate any skill level from beginner to advanced. Our tumbling classes focus on the gymnastics skills that are associated with the sport and activity of cheerleading. To offer our members the best service possible, we strive to maintain a 7 to 1 ratio in our 6 & up classes and a 6 to 1 ratio in our 4-5 year old classes. We attempt to place students in classes of similar age and skill level.
***Tumbling Classes for our 4-5 year olds are 45 minutes in length and are offered on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
***Tumbling Classes for 6 years old and above are one hour in length and are offered on Monday through Friday. At LCN, each student is treated and instructed individually, as we respect the fact that each student progresses at a different rate. Safety is our first and foremost concentration and we strive for this by having knowledgable and trained instructors who use proper skill progression:
