ABOUT
Balance Academy was created to share the passion and art of Rhythmic Gymnastics and has evolved to also provide Rhythm & Dance and Core & Coordination Training.
We believe in addition to being a positive force in increasing self-confidence, Rhythmic Gymnastics has also been associated with positive right-brain development in growing minds.
Through the practice of Rhythmic Gymnastics, students can increase their capacity for learning, and their ability to retain information.
The balance and coordination used in the practice of rhythmic gymnastics have been known to improve a student’s learning comprehension, leading to long term memory improvement.
As students progress, they are learning, growing, and of course, having fun along the way. Balance Academy provides a variety of activities, programs and competitions suitable for all ages & abilities.
