Instructors

I have always had a passion for weightlifting, gymnastics and cheerleading. Balance Tumbling & Acrobatics was opened to provide an opportunity for all ages to come and learn to love movement for a lifetime!

The dream of opening this studio has only been possible through the blessing and provision of my Lord and Savior Jesus and the support of my family.I am forever grateful!
