Here we learn how to fly. Learning aerials, flips and complex supports and group pyramids. Class is really challenging and we spend a lot of time on stamina and stretching, prior to learning any new tricks. So be ready to sweat and stretch...sitting aside or just doing tricks is not an option! Acro is a combination of Acrobatics and dance. It is the style that grows in popularity currently. It helps dancers build up stamina, improve their balance and learn a lot of different tricks. It will include stretching as well as learning acrobatics. So it is not a short journey, but one to remember! This class is for kids with previous experience in gymnastics or acrobatics. If you are new, please book our Starters class first.

At this age, the average infant has an awareness of their environment: noises, music, people, etc. Their brain is developing at an extremely fast rate, taking in and processing massive amounts of information. Children at this age first learn how to roll from the back to tummy and begin pushing their chest from the ground (4 -6 months), try to crawl (7 -9 months), and enter the pre- walking phase (10- 12 months). Alongside these developmental milestones, infants attempt fine motor movements such as reaching and grasping for objects, waving and clapping. A fun class for children aged 4-10 months. Please contact The Little Gym for a full price list.

The third class in the progressive Tumble Tots programme offers children attending a more structured play class whereby, with parental support, they make their way around activity stations focusing on continuing the development of their agility, balance, climbing and coordination skills. The equipment becomes more challenging with the introduction of higher pieces which aim to further a child’s gross motor skill development. There is a bigger emphasis put on social development in the class during circle times and also train times. Children will learn to interact with others around them and are encouraged to build their confidence whilst expressing themselves in a group environment.
