OPEN GYM
WE ARE HAVING A SLEEPOVER!
We made a lovely gymnastic routine to show our moms, in hopes that they will be so impressed that this playdate will turn into a sleepover. We have not taken any gymnastics classes, however, we are working on our way to the olympics.
This piece is inspired by gymnastic floor routines, specifically the connecting steps before tumbling. We support each other in assisted tricks, and get way too excited to use ribbons and hoops. This movement study exemplifies the pure confidence a child has when playing pretend and creating with friends.
