Tumbling
We are pleased to add 3 levels of tumbling to our curriculum. From cartwheels to flip-flops, you will be exposed to all the basics, then move on to the more difficult tricks. Denise Mlysnki, our Tumbling Instructor, was on both Maine West’s Tumbling Team and ISU’s team. You may have seen Denise in the ISU Acrobat Circus performing as both student and alumna for years. Denise comes to AMA with a long list of experience with children. She enjoys instructing at the junior ISU Summer Acrobat Circus Camp and currently works as a Speech Pathologist in our area! We are privileged to have such a knowledgeable instructor and talented performer among our staff!
Tumbling Levels
Beginning classes will focus on introducing children with little to no experience to tumbling. Children will begin to learn such skills as forward and backward rolls, backbends from the ground, and building up to the beginnings of a cartwheel.
Intermediate classes will build upon skills learned and mastered at the beginning level, with variations to forward and backward rolls, standing backbends, handstands, back walkovers, cartwheels, and round-offs.
Advanced level classes will build upon skills learned and mastered at the intermediate level, with back extension rolls, handstand forward rolls, flip flops, ariels, standing back flips, and tumbling sequences such as round-off flip flop.
All classes will include flexibility and conditioning training tailored to the level of experience and skill.
