ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS
Gymnastics classes for children ages 3-9, following the CANGYM badge system.
These key program skills have been selected to ensure a clear progression from one badge to the next. The progression through the colored badges is as follows:
Burgundy, Red, Tan, Bronze, Purple, Turquoise, Silver, Orange, Yellow, Green, Gold.
Progress through the various levels requires mastery of challenging skills and is dependent on an individual’s abilities and efforts; it often takes more than one session of classes for a child to complete a particular level. If you have questions please contact us admin@rideaugymnastics.org
