Minnesota Aerials Gymnastics has quickly evolved in the past two years.  We’ve grown and developed from a gymnastics school into a year-round multi-sport program that now offers gymnastics, dance, cheer, half-day preschool, X-Training,  summer and holiday camps, and fitness programs for children and adults. 

We are an educationally-based center, developing and implementing weekly curriculums for our programs. Our goal is to continually improve because we believe all of us are happier when we’re learning and growing. We believe children learn more effectively when placed in a playful, engaging environment and that through our sports, we can teach that learning can be FUN, exciting and rewarding. Once kids internalize that learning is fun, their futures can explode with possibilities! Building positive learning attitudes that set the stage for a life-long pursuit of learning is a very important issue that ties directly into success. The hope of every parent is to have happy, successful children, and we believe we can assist in this great endeavor!

OTHER BENEFITS OF OUR PROGRAMS

Many of the benefits of our programs are not readily or even immediately apparent because they work internally. Smiles and laughter are always great clues for parents that let them know their children are having fun and enjoying themselves, but there’s another very important side to all of this that isn’t so visible but is extremely important. This relates to brain development and what neuroscience has learned about movement and sensory integration.

Although we at Minnesota Aerials believe learning to perform a flip, a twist or a turn are great ways to learn new skills and develop self-confidence in the process, there’s really much, much more going on during this process. And as our children spend more time sitting (watching TV, using the computer, playing computer games, etc.), it is imperative to balance these activities with a steady supply of movement activities that stimulate the brain in different ways and promote proper brain development for later “higher learning”.
