Discovery Programs
An Upper West Side treasure offering gymnastics, dance, karate, parkour, and early childhood.
This month, gymnasts in Intermediate, Advanced Intermediate, All Stars & Advanced All Stars, Pre-Team and Gems have been focusing on front and back walkovers. Coaches use various techniques, mats and spotting, until gymnasts are able to complete the skills unassisted. As we’re nearing the end of the semester, gymnasts are determined to achieve these skills before they go on summer break!

Learning cartwheels with proper hand and foot placement
Throwing bean bags into buckets - practicing color matching and gross motor skills
Kicking soccer balls into nets

Spring into Ballet! 🩰🌼🌱
After the warm up each week, a portion of the class is spent practicing ballet moves, including the jumps and spins that you see in the video. Dancers learn new moves and also practice and refine foundational steps.
Then, dancers practice their choreography for the upcoming Spring Dance Recital at the end of the month! This year’s theme is ‘Enchanted’ and we are so excited to see the final pieces!
Let us know if you have any questions about our dance program✨
