Why Gymnastics Is the Foundation of Every Sport

Gymnastics is a great way to build strength for other sports. Some key benefits of gymnastics are improved balance, strength and confidence. Outside of the physical benefits, kids will also learn teamwork and the importance of following instructions. These skills show up at home, school and everyday life.

Our skilled instructors reinforce these habits in a nurturing environment through each stage of your child’s progression.

Ninja Training: Obstacle Courses That Build Strength and Grit

Most kids don’t have the opportunity to participate in a Ninja-based class. At our Academy, we take inspiration from the show, American Ninja Warrior and make it accessible for all ages.

During Ninja Classes at Mount Laurel, your child will focus on strength and coordination through a variety of classes:

Little Ninjas: Pre-schoolers and elementary aged children focus on navigating safe obstacles.
Ninjas: Older students learn advanced challenges and techniques.
Ninja & Tumbling Combo: Enjoy the benefits of ninja obstacle-training and the skill-building of tumbling.
Ninja & Gymnastics Combo: A great way for kids to try both of our core classes.

At most local gyms, you have to choose between gymnastics or ninja classes. Our Academy stands out because we allow your child to experience the best of both worlds! Explore Ninja Classes in Mount Laurel.

Gymnastics or Ninja? How to Choose the Right Fit for Your Child

We know it can be overwhelming when your child tries a new sport and can’t decide which class is the best fit. The good news is that we have a variety of gymnastics and ninja classes, making it easy for your child to try both without missing out.

Kids who love to climb and jump typically enjoy our ninja classes. Kids who are just getting started in gymnastics or want to focus on basic skills typically try our recreational gymnastics classes first.

While both classes cater toward various personalities, we encourage all children to try both. All classes at Dominique Dawes Academy focus on developing happy, active, and strong kids. To learn more about the classes we offer, click here.
