Silver Stars Gymnastics is a program designed to promote age appropriate skill development in the fun and safe environment of our Olympic style gym. Your child will be able to build an athletic foundation for all sports through the strength, flexibility and coordination that only the challenge of gymnastics can offer. As your gymnast progresses, we seek to develop such principles as: goal setting, time management, sportsmanship, dedication and discipline. All of these aspects of learning contribute to a positive self-image and personal success. Silver Stars Gymnastics utilizes the newest and most imaginative gymnastics equipment to introduce technical gymnastics training. Spotting and safety mats are used to introduce new skills. Beyond gymnastics, children practice how to stay in line, take turns, and follow instructions from the coach. Prices are based on one class per week.

Michelle Carhart: My name is Michelle Carhart and today I am going to be teaching you how to choreograph a gymnastic floor routine. One part of choreographing is picking up the floor music. There are rules pertaining to floor music it has to be thirty seconds to a minute thirty. If it's under thirty seconds there is a two point deduction, over a minute thirty it's point one deduction.

Another thing is there can be absolutely no words or no singing in the music, if there is, it's a deduction of one point. Now, picking floor music, there are many different types of floor music. There is very dancy classical floor music, there is stuff that's more techno, there is country music and it's very important that you can ascertain the skills of the students when you are picking out their specific floor music. So if a student is really good at doing something like this, you might have something like maybe in the mood. If they are good at doing techno type of stuff then you would have techno. If they are very good at dancing then you might do something that's very fluid and classical in nature. So once you ascertain the floor music then you can start choreographing the gymnastics floor routine. Next, we are going to be trying to figure out how to start a gymnastics floor routine.
