Absolute Gymnastics is a children's gymnastics academy run by the Infinite Sports group, offering artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining and cheerleading, plus holiday camps and gymnastics birthday parties. There is no single gym: classes run at partner school venues, eight in Dubai and one in Abu Dhabi, and the address in JVC is the academy's office, not a class venue. Parent & Tots sessions are 45 minutes for little ones from 18 months to 3 years, with a parent or caregiver helping. After School Activities are 45-60 minute introductions to gymnastics for ages 4-10, straight after the school day. The Academy offers one-hour artistic or rhythmic sessions, up to three times a week. From age six, gymnasts can join Pre-Squad or Rhythmic Squad (two-hour sessions, up to six hours a week), trampolining or cheerleading. Select and Elite squads are invite-only, with competitions against other UAE clubs and, at Elite level, national and international events.

The activity

Gymnastics, explained

Gymnastics builds strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. In artistic gymnastics children learn rolls, jumps, balances and handstands before moving on to apparatus; rhythmic gymnastics is a floor-based discipline where gymnasts combine dance-like choreography with hand apparatus such as the hoop, ball, ribbon and rope. Trampolining and cheerleading use the same body control in a different format, with cheerleading adding stunts, tumbling and teamwork. Toddlers usually start with playful movement sessions with a parent alongside, then join a weekly class once they can follow a coach's instructions on their own. Children who love it can move up to longer squad sessions and, eventually, competitions.

Who it's for

Children from 18 months (Parent & Tots, 18 months-3 years, with a parent or caregiver) up to competitive gymnasts. Total beginners are welcome: the academy says it offers programmes for all ability and experience levels, and After School Activities (4-10 years) are an introduction to gymnastics. Pre-Squad, Rhythmic Squad, Trampolining and Cheerleading are for ages six and above, and Pre-Squad and Rhythmic Squad gymnasts typically have some prior experience with the academy. Select and Elite squads are invite-only; Elite is for gymnasts training at level three or above.

What to expect

The academy offers taster sessions for new students - call the admissions team on +971 58 102 6546 to arrange one; they can also advise which programme suits your child. Bookings are made through the online portal, where you first choose your school venue and then check out. For a beginner aged 4-10, an After School session lasts 45-60 minutes and covers the basics: strength, coordination and flexibility, building on movements and skills step by step. Toddlers join Parent & Tots, a 45-minute session with you or a caregiver alongside. Kit, what to wear and taster prices aren't listed on the website, so ask when you book.
