Toddlers climb large mats, swing on trapeze and rings, jump on the trampoline and play with equipment that encourages their gross motor skill. They learn the basics of tumbling in each class. Older Children focus on advanced basics and choreographed floor exercises, work with creative props and apparatus such as rhythmic ribbons, hoops, tightrope, trapeze, circus web, aerial silk and stilts.
