Judi has developed this class for over 25 years and has created a delightful environment where children explore creativity through interactive storytelling and improvisational games. Behind the excitement and fun of acting out the adventures of classic stories are the educational benefits of this program. The students gain self-confidence and learn to cooperate with others while stimulating their imaginations and enjoying physical exercise. Children must be able to leave their parents with ease. Imagine Me, Too! has more emphasis on characterization and acting technique. The Spring Imagine Me, Too! class features a performance for family and invited guests.

TEACHER SEAN’S KIDS SINGChildren will explore musical concepts through circle singing games, dancing, chants, improvisation, and instrument play. It’s a Kodaly-based program that instills a love of music while teaching basic music literacy. The program is an age-specific, sequential approach for learning the language of music. Singing a rich repertoire of folk music is used to develop the musical ear. We build skills in sight singing and ear training through solfège (do re mi) and rhythm syllables. Lastly, we reinforce with a CD and songbook so children may practice at home. KIDS SING 2 is for children who have previously taken a session of Kids Sing or are at least 4 years of age. Note: The lab fee covers the cost of class materials (1 CD and songbook).

LEVELS OF INSTRUCTIONParent-Tot – Basic movement class offers fundamental gymnastics activities for young children that are not quite ready to go it alone. Parents must assist their child with class participation and should be dressed appropriately for activity. No siblings are allowed in the facility during class, unless supervised by another adult.

Tiny Tots – An introduction to all the gymnastics apparatus will be utilized, with an emphasis on creative movement activities and organized circuit play. Instructors will lead a warm up, followed by rotations around event & skill circuits, where students may learn a wide array of fundamental movements and positions.

Tumble Tots – This class is similar to Tiny Tots, with increased challenges based on the students’ physical, emotional, and social development. Class activities enhance strength, balance, and students may be reviewed for possible invitations to our team development program.

Pre-Rec – This class is an introduction to fundamental core gymnastics skills and the Olympic events. Instructors introduce specific skills and basic rec skills to prepare them for our recreational classes. This is a focused class that may provide the opportunity for team development.

Boy’s & Girl’s Rec FUNdamentals – Class activities focus around a skill card and learning to perform basic routines on the 4 women’s and 6 men’s events. In addition, trampoline skills, strength development, and flexibility are integral parts for students at this level.

Boy’s & Girl’s Intermediate I & II – Students are required to pass the skills and routine evaluations of the previous level, and must receive staff approval before moving to this class.

Boy’s, Girl’s, & Coed Advanced Rec – Students enjoy learning increasingly challenging skills equivalent to our compulsory competitive levels. This class is designed for students who do not wish to do competitive gymnastics, but want to develop more advanced skills.

Learn to Flip – These classes are designed for students who wish to focus on skills taught on the tumbling floor and trampoline.

Team Development Classes – These classes are invite-only for girls, ages 5 and up, who our staff feel should begin training for eventually being on a competitive team. Call (408) 615-3199 for more information about team development and CSC competitive teams.

GREAT EXPEDITIONS-BIG BEASTS ON THE BEACHEvery year, elephant seals descend upon the California Coast to recreate a timeless ritual of love and birth. This 3-mile round-trip hike will take us along a steep trail to the coast, where we walk on a sandy beach to watch the big male seals fight for space and dominance. Your naturalist leader has watched these seals on isolated islands from Mexico to Antarctica and is fascinated by their natural history. Join us for a hike full of biological stories, sand, and giant seals! Participants under 18 must register and be accompanied by an adult.
