Subject: Gymnastics- how to get good instruction without going overboard?
My 6 year old has been taking gymnastics lessons 1Xweek for 90 minutes at Marvatots in Rockville. She LOVES it and loves to practice at home. She has a smile on her face from the moment she steps into the gym.
The thing is, I feel like the class isn't really instructing her but rather just going through the motions. I don't see the instructors correcting the girls positions or having them repeat things until they improve them. She's learning more from what little I know and from watching youtube.
Is there another gym near NWDC that people like which really focuses on teaching the skills? Maybe she'll be interested in doing the team someday, but I don't want to sign her up for 6+ hours per week before she's really learned anything and understands the commitment.
