From the reviews
We absolutely love Modern Play! Our daughter has been taking gymnastics classes here since she was just 14 months old, and it has been the most wonderful experience. The coaches are so kind, patient, and fun — they help the kids build confidence while learning new skills in a safe environment.
My son had the best 3rd birthday party here!Emma and Sophie had the room set up so beautifully and we were able to add a few decorations to make it themed! This was the most stress-free and fun party I've thrown for my kids, and I'm kind of known for throwing fun birthday parties!
We hosted my son's birthday here and everyone had such a wonderful time! Emma and Zoe were very helpful and made our experience so much fun! We will be talking about this party for a while! We had 19 kids all ranging in age from 1-9 and there was fun to be had by everyone!
My 2 kiddos absolutely LOVE going to their Gymsters class every week! They are so proud of the new skills they learn, and love having fun while making new friends. When we had to skip a few months, they were constantly asking “When do we get to go back to gymnastics?
Your first ballet class at Modern Play Gym
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
