Gymnastics Showcase Routines

Our Winter Gymnastics Showcase is right around the corner, and we can't wait to celebrate your child's hard work and progress in classes!

Each gymnast participating in the showcase will perform a floor routine (required, as it is foundational to all other events), and they may choose to perform vault, bars, and/or beam as well.

Below you'll find the complete breakdown of routines by level, including focus points, step-by-step routines, practice tips, challenge goals, and links to watch the demonstration videos.

Families can choose a paper packet or the online version.

Paper Packets are available at the gym.

The online version includes clickable video links for easy practice at home.
