At BGC we put the FUN in fundamental movement! Little gymnasts in our Active Start program begin each class with a choreographed warm up routine led by trained coaches, then move on to gymnastics apparatuses tailor made for little hands and feet. Here they will learn progressions for fundamental skills like rolls, handstands, and swings, wrapping up with an interactive song.
