[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love it if one of the gymnastics center or even a Parkour center would offer this type of class to younger kids and even better if offered at the school too. I'd sign my kid up in a heartbeat. Dynamite Gymnastics. Take note. This is what your ability center should look like.[/quote]

Is that not what it looks like?  My teen has taken some parkour classes at Urban Evolution in Alexandria.  They've got more grungy colors and they're smaller, but the activities pictures are pretty much what the younger kids are doing there.  I've been thinking of moving him to Dynamite because it's way more convenient, but you just gave me pause.  [/quote]

What exactly is wrong with Dynamite? It's not strictly parkour (they run tumbling classes there as well), so they don't have the same set-ups as a parkour gym, but what they do have is safe and fun. And they have classes starting at age 3.[/quote]

I'm the second PP here and I didn't mean to imply that there's anything wrong with Dynamite.  We started at Urban Evolution because that's what came up when we googled parkour, but we've been looking for something closer to our Maryland home.  The only thing I know about Dynamite is the location, because I googled metro routes.  I had imagining something that looks like the videos posted, so when the top PP said that this is what Dynamite [i]should[/i] look like it gave me pause since I had assumed that it's what Dynamite [i]already [/i]looks like.

Dynamite might be fantastic, or terrible.  I wouldn't know. We're happy at Urban Evo, except location, but it is much smaller and "grungier" and adult focused than I had imagined Dynamite to be.  My teen likes grungy and adult so that isn't a complaint.[/quote]
