Rhythmics and Acrosport youth gymnastics offered

| June 21, 2016 1:00 AM

SANDPOINT — Two different kinds of gymnastics are being offered for boys and girls between the ages of 6-18 years-old starting on July 6 in Sandpoint.

Rhythmics is a beautiful activity that combines elements of ballet, gymnastics, dance and the manipulation of five apparatus — ball, clubs, hoops, ribbon and rope — into skills and routines set to music.

Acrosport uses partners and groups working together to perform acrobatic skills of tumbling, lifts, balances, tosses and catches of partners in combination with dance. Gymnasts of all sizes are needed. Bases are bigger and strong. Tops are petite.

Both classes are taught in a recreational format, and participants should wear athletic clothing that is not too baggy. All classes will take place at Community Hall (204 N. 1st Ave.) on Wednesdays, from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.

The class fees are $40/session ($5 city discount), with the next session beginning on July 6 and continuing through Aug. 10. There is a minimum of five and maximum of 12 participants needed to run each session.

Pre-Register by June 29, at Sandpoint Parks and Recreation, 1123 Lake St., to guarantee your spot.
