Gymnastics

From October through November, the girls participated in a gymnastics class once a week through Long Beach Parks and Rec. They enjoyed it, but not as much as ballet. I think we'll switch back to dance this spring after giving them the winter off. 

As you can see, there were a lot of kids in a 45 minute class, so the girls never got real one on one time. It was a good introduction, though.




They had the girls try a surprising number of apparatuses, including rings and high bar. I do feel like they really didn't have enough time to get over their fears of being up high, though.

Still, they left the class knowing how to do forward rolls and bridges, which is something! And as usual, we were totally surprised by what they were able to accomplish.
