๐คธโโ๏ธ๐ GYMNASTICS + DANCE = A PRETTY AMAZING COMBINATION! ๐๐คธโโ๏ธ
We get asked all the time about the difference between gymnastics/tumbling and dance/acro โ and while they are different disciplines, they have many similarities and complement each other beautifully! โค๏ธ
๐คธโโ๏ธ Gymnastics is a sport with 4 events: Vault, Bars, Beam & Floor. Floor combines choreography with powerful, explosive tumbling, jumps, turns, strength, flexibility and grace.
๐ Dance focuses more on grace, musicality, beautiful lines and fluid movement along with flexibility and strength. Some dance styles include acro and tumbling, but those skills are just one part of the bigger picture.
Think of it this way:
๐คธโโ๏ธ Gymnastics brings the POWER.
๐ Dance brings the GRACE.
Gymnastics adds to a dancerโs strength, body control, flexibility, balance and powerful tumbling skills.
Dance for a gymnast adds musicality, expression, timing, beautiful lines and how to make those skills look effortless. โจ
And THAT is why we love seeing kids do both! ๐
A gymnast with dance training can bring beautiful artistry to the floor.
A dancer with gymnastics training can bring incredible strength and acro skills to their performance.
Different disciplines. Different strengths. One AMAZING combination! ๐๐
So whether your child dreams of sticking a back flip ๐คธโโ๏ธ or dancing across the stage ๐ โ thereโs something to be gained from both!
Gymnastics + Dance = STRONG + GRACEFUL + CONFIDENT! โจ
