[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 7 year old daughter who loves dance and cheer. She seems to have good rhythm and enjoys dancing. She cannot do a split and didn’t do well in her tumbling class. Some girls seemed fearless doing cartwheels and handstands while DD was doing log rolls.

Can you join a dance team without being able to do gymnastics?

Dd doesn’t seem interested in gymnastics and has declined signing up again for tumbling.

I have zero experience in dance or gymnastics.[/quote]

Acro is not gymnastics.  The base and approach are different.  Acro is great and supplements technique when done well.  Find a good studio, read Trash the Trophies, and go from there.  There are a couple nearby studios that I would recommend for this...District Dance is not one of them.[/quote]

My daughter is currently taking a single class at District and it’s been fine. Can you recommend another studio you think is better nearby District (not Friendship Heights or Bethesda)? No interest in teams or competition at all. [/quote]
