Gymnastics & Dance
Each gymnastics and dance participant has the opportunity to develop different athletic skills as well as gain self-confidence and leadership and social skills while learning to work together. Instructors promote character building and positive attitudes in order to help the participant grow in spirit, mind and body.
Sessions restart every month. You may sign your child up prior to the start date at the welcome center.
If the YMCA cancels a class a make-up class will be scheduled. Make-up classes are not available for participants who miss a class. In the event of inclement weather, please call (615) 297-6529 after 7am for morning class cancellations and after 12pm for afternoon cancellations. We do not follow Metro school closings.
