LOUISE Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hi again sorry for all the post about acro and everything, I know this predominately a ballet forum, but does any one know of tumbling classes that could help my dd learn skills such as side aerials or tumbling in the north London/Hertfordshire area? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Louise - I'd like to clarify the title - are you looking for classes or asking (as in the original title) if tumbling helps with dance? Or both? :-) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahw Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hi Louise, I have kids that do both but am not an expert in either. I would say tumbling would benefit acro specifically but not very relevant to the rest of dance. However that doesn't mean I would rate tumbling as better or worse they are different. Both benefit kids hugely. Great hobbies. (Dc would kill me if knew had called dancing a hobby!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Louise would you not have more joy contacting British Gymnastics and asking about clubs locally? Or does your local sports centre know of suitable classes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Your title said "dance" not "ballet". So I would say yes, tumbling can help add an often required skill-set for jazz dancers, street dancers and cheerleaders. I don't think it has any relevance to ballet whatsoever.

straceydor Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 please correct me if I am wrong but I thought that I saw a little "gymnastic's" in the nutcracker when the Chinese toys play or was it a different thing altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara in NZ Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 We saw the Royal New Zealand Ballet do a modern programme in July, and two of the pieces involved a cartwheel/handstand/walkover by ballet dancers. I suspect the boundaries are blurring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
