Program Description:
TUMBLING

​

                                                Our focus at Project Dance is and always will be quality!!                                       

 

We couldn’t be more delighted by our expansive and cutting-edge tumbling curriculum taught by our

immensely experienced and certified staff. This program was inspired not only from years of training from our highly qualified staff but also derived from the tested and tried internationally acclaimed Acrobatic Arts
program that focuses also on strength, flexibility, limbering and balance.                                                             
 

PD’s tumbling program is a more traditional tumbling program focusing on the fundamental skills such as
cartwheels, roundoffs, back and front walkovers, standing back handsprings, roundoff back
handsprings, standing back tucks, side and front aerials and everything in between. Other important
attributes of the program are detail in technique, safety, Injury prevention, flexibility, power skills and
variations of skills that create artistry and diversity in our treasured students. All tumbling skills are taught and executed on high quality mats to ensure the safety and stability of both students and instructors.

 

Our tumbling program has a 6-8 teacher: student ratio

ensuring that each student receives as much hands -on training as possible.

 

For the most quality progression of our students and for the best tuition value for our parents, Project Dance strongly encourages each student to participate in two or more tumbling classes each week.      This will ensure a safe and active progression of desired skills.

 

***Based on parent feedback, we anticipate these classes filling up to capacity quickly.  We strongly recommend beginning the enrollment process for your student promptly upon registration opening on this website End of June 2023.

Day Program
Project Dance offers both morning and early afternoon TUMBLING classes. This program is our
most popular program because we offer dance classes back to back during the day separated by
level and age.
 

Preschool and kindergarten students are separated into two different tumbling classes.
Certified and experienced teachers in our day TUMBLING program love working with younger ages
and are very skilled at class management, safety and positive reinforcement. Students will not only
learn awesome tumbling skills but they will be learning proper form/technique. Students will also
learn to work with others by demonstrating proper class etiquette, how to stay positive and hard work
ethic. Students in this program are evaluated twice a season to track progression and growth.
