South Bay Families

While your child is flipping, climbing and learning new skills, you don't necessarily have to spend the hour staring at your phone. AGC Redondo's 28,000-square-foot gymnastics and dance facility includes something increasingly important to busy families: A place for the parents, too.

If you are trying to choose between dance and gymnastics for your child, you are not alone. This is one of the most common questions parents ask, especially when their child is young, active, creative, and ready for a real class — but not quite ready to specialize.

We put together this guide for Torrance, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, and surrounding South Bay families. We're obviously biased toward gymnastics (it's what we do), but we've included a range of options because we genuinely believe active, engaged kids are the best outcome -- whether that's with us or somewhere else.
