Dance Makers offers tumbling classes, a form of gymnastics that focuses on learning how to roll, flip, and jump. Our tumbling classes are designed for toddlers ages 18 months to 2 years in Lanham, Maryland.
How Are Tumbling Classes Beneficial for Toddlers?
Our toddler tumbling classes teach basic gymnastics skills, socialization, and discipline, which can be particularly beneficial for toddlers as they develop gross motor skills and interact with others. Students also learn valuable social skills, such as following directions, taking turns, and being polite.
Tumbling classes for toddlers are the gateway to gymnastics and dance. By building the physical skills necessary for basic gymnastics, your toddler establishes an appreciation for all physical activity.
Your child will learn age-appropriate movements and exercises, which will serve them well whether they pursue gymnastics as an extracurricular activity or develop a passion for dance, cheer, or any other sport.
The foundation for lifelong good health and positive pursuits is established long before elementary school. Tumbling classes for toddlers offer many benefits, including coordination, fitness, strength development, flexibility, and self-discipline.

Beyond the Physical Benefits
Tumbling classes benefit both parents and toddlers. For parents, it’s a reprieve from endless curiosity and energy levels while ensuring their child develops key skills in a safe environment. Toddlers benefit physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively.
Beyond physical fitness, toddlers gain self-confidence, social skills, life skills, and resilience through tumbling. They learn to trust their bodies, interact with others, and overcome challenges. Parents also benefit. They witness their child’s growth, strengthening their bond. Tumbling classes offer a break and peace of mind, knowing their child is safe and learning.

Our ballet class is a good way to introduce your toddler to dance. At Dance Makers, we focus on play and creative movement, allowing little dancers to develop their balance, basic and intermediate motor skills, and coordination. The class also helps your toddler develop essential social skills, such as taking turns, sharing, and following directions.
Who Are Dance Makers Students?
Dance Makers provides dance programs for all ages, but most students are children from Maryland, Washington, D.C., and surrounding Prince George’s County communities. Children as young as 18 months old can join introductory dance classes to experience the joy of dance and learn basic dance steps.
Once students have developed a love for dancing and learned basic gymnastics skills in a fun and supportive class, they can enroll in other classes to discover or explore different types of dance.
Dance Makers students thrive in a safe, engaging and supportive environment. Students are better prepared for advanced classes after a series of tumbling classes that develop social and motor skills.
What Parents Can Expect
Our well-organized toddler classes follow a structured format, starting with warm-up exercises to prevent injuries. Our trained instructors then guide students through preparatory exercises, fun activities, and dance sequences. We encourage both individual and peer-based learning, fostering social skills in a non-competitive environment where children can enjoy dancing and making friends.
We believe parental support is crucial for toddlers and encourage parents to be as involved as possible. To ensure our program is a good fit for your child, we recommend attending a trial class. Outside of the studio, you can continue to nurture your child’s love of dance by sharing dance music videos with them.
