We LOVE our Waddlers! This program is so much fun for both parent and child as we work on beginning stretches and exercises, songs and dances, and balance and agility skills. Your little ones will have a blast discovering their natural abilities while our curriculum enhances their physical and cognitive growth.
Throughout this program, we gently introduce new and stimulating activities to promote your babies’ natural development. You’ll see your infants become stronger with increased hand, arm, and trunk control, which leads to some of their biggest milestones, like crawling and, eventually, walking. We take great care to nurture each parent/child unit according to their specific needs.
Such an amazing age! Your child will sing, dance, swing, play games, watch puppet shows, and even have “Surprise Time!” Our Gymsters feel great about themselves as they learn basic tumbling in a fun and positive setting.
At this age, toddlers’ abilities are evolving on a weekly basis, and our curriculum keeps these active little ones engaged and captivated! Running, jumping, and spatial awareness are milestones in this program. Of course, opportunities abound to teach lessons on peer play and taking turns. Above all else, we make sure your child’s self-esteem will soar at My Gym!
Terrific Tots are TERRIFIC!!! In addition to having a blast with structured activities and games, your child will gain skills needed as involvement in team sports gets closer. Our curriculum will improve your child’s fine and gross motor proficiency while increasing strength and agility.
Our caring teachers will build up your little one’s confidence and self-esteem with gentle encouragement to complete activities a bit more independently. This helps our Tots develop social skills, learn to follow directions, and cooperate in a group of their peers.
Pre-ballet introduces the fundamentals of a structured dance class in a fun, noncompetitive way! Children will gain confidence as they learn the vocabulary of ballet, are taught basic stretches and barre exercises, and are given opportunities to move to music. This class is designed to encourage an early love of dance!
Our dance teacher Sierra is a formally trained dancer who has studied classical ballet, Horton, jazz, majorette and other styles. Born in Washington, D.C., she spent her early childhood in Florida before returning to the nation’s capital and attending the prestigious Duke Ellington School for the Arts, where she trained under renowned instructors Charles Augins and Sandra Fortune. Sierra has danced and placed with Structures Performing Arts Academy at Star Dance, NUVO Dance Convention and other competitions. At Morgan State University, Sierra performed with the marching band’s "Foxxy" dance line for three years. She enjoys using her training and experience to help students of all ages in the DMV and beyond.
As experts in early child development, we understand how pre-kindergarten education impacts children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development. It is especially important for preschoolers to have opportunities to practice and develop their emerging skills. Play and learn focuses on making learning enjoyable and interactive, not passive. They will sing, dance move, and have fun with our friendly and nurturing staff. This is a three hour class.
Mini Gymnasts are transitioning from toddlers to big kids! The children participate independently with their teachers on the gym floor while parents can watch from the lobby or drop off their children. This is a huge milestone we don’t take lightly, as confidence and self-reliance are cornerstones of this curriculum!
In this program, you’ll see your child’s strength, flexibility, and agility increase as our teachers coach the kids through relays, basic gymnastics, tumbling skills, games and more. Positive reinforcement abounds – and we promise your child will leave class with feelings of pride, accomplishment, and success!Class cards offer flexible enrollment options to fit your busy and ever-changing schedule.
