Ava the Tumblina

At the beginning of December Ava had her first Tumblina’s performance (a combination of gymnastics and ballet). It was our first chance to see all that Ava has learned in class over the last few months. Although they were a little distracted having the audience, Ava and her friends did awesome!

First up, Ava had a little pre-performance refreshment…

The girls are anxiously awaiting the start of the music.

Ava is of course checking out Mom, Dad, and baby sister Ali.

Once the performance started the girls did great. Here’s Ava in the “sleeping” portion of the routine.

And doing her pirouettes.

After the ballet performance, we were treated to some gymnastics. Ava is helping her friend Lily to warm up.

Ava did great on the balance beam (maybe all the practice on the curbs is paying off).

And the somersault rolls.
Handstands are one of Ava’s favorite things to do on the walls at home.

Of course like any performer Ava wants to make sure that the audience is watching…

Afterwards the girls each took a turn on the mini trampoline.

We’re looking forward to what Ava learns in the next few months!
