PROGRAM POLICY
Offering gymnastics classes for all levels — from beginner to advanced — where confidence, skill, and strength grow with every flip and tumble!

In each class students will practice jumping on a 40' tumbl trak, swing and hold themselves up on the trapeze, rings and bars, teeter handstands on an 8' fitness wheel, spider handstand and introduction to cartwheels, log rolls and forward rolls.

We recommend that our male students wear sport shorts and a well-fitted t-shirt. All students train with socks (non slip work best).Students are not allowed to wear jewelry during practice. Long hair must be tied back with soft accessories.

Here's why kids and families love RF&T!

Client Review
My daughter has attended group classes, camp, had her birthday and currently has private lessons with the lovely and talented Ekin. This is a beautiful place for any gymnastic enthusiast to learn and play. My daughter has always had such a great time and wants to keep coming back. Shahla and Sibylle are the instructors/owners we have had the pleasure of interacting with over the last year and a half, and I can say with full confidence that they run the place with professionalism and creativity. Looking forward to many more years at flip & tumble.

RF&T is a really awesome place! Our daughter started going with my husband when she was a toddler and now, at not even age 5, she has already moved into a more advanced gymnastics class than the one she was in before - they really care to help the kids progress and be interested in what they’re doing.

I enrolled my daughter for the summer program in august to try it out and excited to say that she will be continuing in the next term of classes! The teachers [Sibylle and Tori] are super fun and energizing while engaging the children with safe practices :) I love the structure of the class and at the end of every class they blow up a bouncy castle for the kids 10/10 experience and highly recommend it for any parent wanting to get their foot in the door for their kids! Also the [Head Coach Tori] is a sweetheart!

Both my kids aged 5.5 and 3 have been attending Riverdale Flip & Tumble since the age of 2 and we love them. I started them each in the Parent n’ Tot class, and I personally enjoyed my time in the classes too!

We just finished our third session of classes with Coach Shahla and her team and we can't speak highly enough about the program. Our toddler has advanced through the parent/tot classes to the drop-off program and the care that the staff for the transition was incredibly reassuring.

We’ve been at flip and tumble since my kids were toddlers, and they’ve loved it at every stage. The staff are wonderful - accommodating, skilled and great with little kids. It’s been so good for their gross motor skills, but mostly they just have fun exploring their abilities in a safe space.
