Gymnastics and Dance Class

For Sophia the last few months have been busy with first Ballet and Tap dance lessons and more recently gymnastics. I thought I would let her try both activities to see what she enjoyed before putting out the money for "real lessons."



Although she looked absolutley adorable in her dance outfit, she struggled with her coordination and got flustered very early on, but since I paid for the 6 week class I made her finish.


With Gymnastics from the start, day 1 she loved everything about it, and was very proud of herself and the fact that she could do the tumbing and balance beam...etc all by herself! The coach for the pre-school class is very kid friendly and Sophia just does anything to impress her! Although she still struggles with things like jumping on one foot, and keeping her legs straight during some of the streching exercises, everything else comes very easy for her and I think if she had to choose, it would be gymnastics that she likes the best.
