Tumbling at OTGA

Tumble, Jump and Have Fun with Our Tumbling Classes!

When you are looking for tumbling studios that serve the area of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, then you are likely to find several options. Here at Old Town Gymnastics Academy (OTGA), we offer some of the best tumbling and floor instruction in the area. We would be delighted to get started working with your budding gymnast, so look no further!

Our goal is to use developmental tumbling and floor routines as a foundation for movement. While children are having fun, they are learning about movement, physical fitness, respect, and perseverance – lessons that last a lifetime. At OTGA, we offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced tumbling. We also have a competition gymnastics team, as well as cheer classes. It is our top priority to provide a safe, positive, secure, and loving environment in which children are encouraged to explore and excel at their own pace.
