HEY DYNAMITES! READ THIS POST FROM VANESSA IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN TUMBLING CLASSES IN AVA!
"Hello everyone!
I have been wanting to start some tumbling lessons here in ava and I am not sure where to begin!
I have had many people ask me about trying to open a gym here close. I know it is not a gym right now, but it is a start and something I can build up to!! If there is any space that I can rent, starting with a couple of mats that I can bring in and out (maybe just fridays for right now), I would love to talk to some place that is available for an option :))
A little about me: I currently work at ARC Physical Therapy+ in Ava, MO as a Physical Therapist Assistant and I have a huge gymnastics background. I started all-around gymnastics when I was 3 years old, started competing at 5 years old, then went all the way until I was 12 years old. I quit for a little bit then joined Trampoline and Tumbling at 14 years old and competed until I was 18 years old. I was a gymnastics/tumbling coach for 7 years before becoming a PTA and moving here to Ava.
I have coached all around gymnastics, trampoline and tumbling and cheer tumbling. I have coached 3 year olds all the way up to 19+ year olds, both competitively and not."
