Our trained teaching staff offers recreational tumbling instruction based on the Acrobatic Arts syllabus, which focuses on safe and effective progressions, appropriate body positioning and foundational skills for beginning to advanced levels.

For over 30 years, Tip Toes and Taps has offered recreational tumbling for boys and girls ages 2 and up. Our program is safe, fun, and progressive starting with basic skills and building to more advanced skills as your student improves. Our focus is on building young people into strong students overall, as the skills built in our program can translate into life skills. Through the discipline of tumbling, students are challenged to improve their physical strength, flexibility, agility, balance, coordination, and self-esteem.

Our Facility

Our facility offers a large mat covered area on a shock absorbing floor that provides a small amount of extra height when compressed and softer landings for extra safety.

Class Levels

Our trained teaching staff provides tumbling instruction that focuses on basic body positions and foundational skills at the beginning levels, transitioning later to the “flipping and twisting” skills at the advanced levels.

Each program builds on our long tradition of quality tumbling instruction to provide an exciting and rewarding non-competitive experience for your student.
