Power Tots Instructors have varied
backgrounds, but one thing they have in common is
a love of children and teaching gymnastics! Some
of our instructors are former professional cheerleaders
for such teams as the Washington Redskins and Baltimore
Ravens. Many have college degrees in education and
health. Their
creativity and energy are what makes the kids love the
program and at the same time gain personal confidence
and basic skills. Power Tots' most valuable asset
is the wonderful instructors that interact with the
children everyday.
