Jermika Miller
Program Manager
My journey in movement and mentorship started long before I stepped into this role. From flipping through 9 years as a competitive gymnast to flying high as a cheerleader, and jumping my way to a collegiate track & field career – staying active has always been in my DNA! I’m a proud Morgan State University grad with a degree in Physical Education and a serious passion for empowering youth through fitness and fun.
I first joined Dominique Dawes Academy in 2022 as a part-time coach, and in 2023, I was honored to step into the Program Manager role at our Clarksburg location. Now, I’m thrilled to bring that same energy, dedication, and community spirit to Columbia!
Whether I’m coaching on the mat or hiking up a mountain, I believe in building strong minds, strong bodies, and even stronger confidence in every child who walks through our doors. Here’s to confidence, connection, and a whole lot of fun – I’m excited to see you in the gym soon!
Still On the Fence? Here’s Why Gymnastics Works
At Dominique Dawes Academy, we view gymnastics as more than just a sport; it serves as a supportive tool that fosters children’s physical, mental, and emotional development.
The many benefits of gymnastics include:
Boosts Confidence
From each new class or activity, children acquire new skills that encourage them to take on new challenges, stay engaged, and feel proud with each success.
Builds Strength & Coordination
Regular involvement in physical activities develops body awareness and control, while also refining core strength.
Teaches Focus & Patience
Even the simplest of gymnastic exercises need concentration and precision. This helps kids learn how to listen carefully, understand instructions, and practice patience as they progress.
Promotes Healthy Habits
Gymnastics helps to hone each child’s physical and mental well-being by refining strength, coordination, and focus while instilling a love for fitness and movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should a kid start gymnastics?
The best age for children to start gymnastics is typically between 3 and 5 years old.
At Dominique Dawes, we offer introductory classes for younger children, including infants and toddlers. Still, these are “parent-and-me” courses that require the presence of a parent or guardian for a safe and supportive experience.
Is gymnastics worth it for a 2-year-old?
It can be! In a supportive environment, toddlers learn movement, coordination, and confidence-building skills while also laying the foundation for a healthy lifestyle.
How much does gymnastics cost for kids?
The tuition cost at Dominique Dawes is a fixed monthly fee that varies depending on the selected class. For example, our Columbia recreational class for beginner blooms (ages 6-9) has a tuition fee of $148.00.
This price may differ from that of other courses. We recommend calling our location or visiting our website to view the full tuition details.
Will gymnastics stunt the growth of my child?
No. Many scientific studies show that gymnastics does not contribute to stunted child growth. Gymnastics, like many other physical activities, helps to support growth, such as bone development and muscle strength.
The main factors that will affect a child’s growth are their genetics and diet.

Our team is dedicated to creating a supportive environment where anyone with an interest in gymnastics can learn, challenge themselves, and, most importantly, have fun.
