“Sprinkler Dance” warm-up
Invented by Dan Niehaus at Westwinds Gymnastics, Lethbridge, the legacy lives on.
It’s still done in Christchurch, New Zealand, I’m told.
Here I am leading 100 gymnasts at Gymnastics Camp in Idaho.
… Thank GOD there’s no video.

In 2011 I don’t have much confidence that children will be physically educated in P.E. class.
But they certainly would be with this teacher.

I find school classes with younger children easier than rec classes, but older children schools are harder than both. I try to work around a number of themes in schools; landing, rolling, inversion, moving in different ways, balancing and shapes, and partner/group work. Then we might add benches to all of those activities. So far I haven’t used any other (higher) equitment – with 30 children in a class accidents are likely, and even with back to wall I can’t be checking everywhere at once. You can imagine that if I’m cautious, the regular teachers who aren’t so familiar with gymnastics will be even more so.
