The Tumbling classes at Premier focus primarily on teaching the popular tumbling skills that have become such a large part of Cheerleading and Power Tumbling today.  The classes concentrate on teaching the correct way to perform these skills in a safe environment with the proper progression. Prerequisites are followed to maintain student placement in order to facilitate effective learning in proper progression.  Strength and flexibility training will be a large part of these classes since they are imperative for learning and executing proper tumbling.  Student-to-teacher ratios do not exceed 8 to 1.
