Hello! My name is Emily Gerde! I have been coaching gymnastics for 26 years! Gymnastics is my passion since I was 4 years old. I was a gymnast till the age of 21 and have been coaching since I was 13. Gymnastics is a way for children and adults to stay active & healthy, and to build confidence, balance, strength, flexibility, & endurance.

We moved to beautiful Routt County in 2018. I am so very grateful for Elevation Dance Studio and the opportunity to offer Toddler Tumbling Classes, Adult Tumbling Classes, Toddler Open Gym, Tumbling for Dancers, & Birthday Parties. ( Click here for registration: Elevation Dance Studio).

My mission is to provide high quality, safe, and fun tumbling for our community.

Toddler Tumbling- Tuesdays 10-10:45 AM - For ages 2-5. Parents are to stay and help their toddler move through the stations, especially for 2 & 3 year olds. The 4 & 5 year olds can do it themselves after a few weeks, but you are still welcome to stay and watch as participate with your child as you see fit.

This class is a great way to build strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, and basic tumbling skills. They will be practicing taking turns, communicating, and building social skills as they learn and play. The class provides fine and gross motor development, as well as the foundational gymnastics skills that will help them excel at any sport.
