Our Level 3/4 Gymnastics class is designed for gymnasts who have mastered the basics and are ready to advance through more challenging skills, stronger connections, and polished form across all four events: vault, bars, beam, and floor. This combined class supports gymnasts at both levels, providing individualized instruction and drills to help each athlete build strength, refine technique, and work toward mastery — whether they’re focusing on back walkovers or flyaways!

The last day of each session will be a time for parents to come in and see the awesome skills their athlete has learned! Your child's skill level will be assessed during their first class period. The lead instructor will determine if the child is equipped to complete the class. If the instructor deems their skill level too low or high for this program, Community Services will offer an account credit after the first class. At that time, you can enroll your athlete into a different level based on the instructor's recommendation if there are spots available.

Keep the momentum going from Summer Dance and join the Lindy Dance Team for Fall League! This is a great opportunity for dancers to continue building strength, sharpen their technique, and learn new skills—all while preparing for the upcoming winter competitive season. Dancers will learn routines to be performed at a Flyers football halftime show and may also perform at the Little Falls Homecoming Parade, as well as at Pillager and Royalton football games. The team will also attend a dance show in Sauk Rapids on September 27—more details to come from your coach! What to know: Athletes are required to wear black tennis shoes for performances. Any color tennis shoes or jazz shoes are acceptable for practices. If this is your first time joining Fall League, there will be a one-time purchase of a performance T-shirt. Performance pants will be provided. Open to students entering grades 7–12 in the Little Falls, Pillager, and Royalton school districts. Participants must provide their own transportation to practices and away football games. 📧 Questions? Contact Coach Erin at esoderstrum@gmail.com.
