About Our Frisco Studio at Kurt Thomas Gymnastics
RRT’s Frisco classes run inside Kurt Thomas Gymnastics on John W. Elliott Drive. The facility was founded by Kurt Thomas – the 1978 World All-Around Champion, two-time Olympian, and namesake of the “Thomas Flair”. RRT trains in a dedicated rhythmic gymnastics space inside the facility.
Our Frisco free-trial slot is Saturday mornings 8:30-10:00 AM – early enough that you still have most of the day. The gym is easy to reach from Plano, The Colony, Little Elm, Prosper, and west McKinney via the Dallas North Tollway and US-380.
What to Expect
The trial class follows the same structure as a regular 90-minute session. Your child will experience every part of a real class - warm-up, ballet, body technique, and apparatus work. No prior gymnastics experience is needed. Coaches adjust to each child's level and help them feel comfortable from the start.
During the class
- ✓A warm-up with jump rope, light jogging, and active movement games
- ✓Ballet barre work covering basic foot and arm positions, posture, and flexibility
- ✓Body element training - balances, simple pivots, small jumps and leaps
- ✓Hands-on introduction to one or two apparatus (ball, rope, hoop, ribbon, or clubs)
- ✓Partner conditioning exercises that build core and leg strength
What to Bring
- ✓A leotard or fitted athletic clothing that won't ride up during movement
- ✓White socks (no bare feet)
- ✓Hair tied back securely in a ponytail or bun
- ✓No jewelry of any kind (bracelets, earrings, necklaces can snag or cause injury)
- ✓A water bottle
- ✓Arrive 10-15 minutes early for the first class
Common Questions About the Trial
What age is the Beginners program for?
The Beginners Program is for children ages 5 and up with no prior rhythmic gymnastics experience. It is the entry point for learning all five official apparatus, ballet basics, and body technique.
Does my child need to be flexible or strong to start?
Not at all. Flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination are outcomes of training, not prerequisites. Every competitive rhythmic gymnast started as a beginner who could not yet do what they learned to do.
How is rhythmic gymnastics different from artistic gymnastics?
Rhythmic gymnastics is performed with handheld apparatus (ball, rope, hoop, ribbon, clubs) and set entirely to music. It emphasizes grace, expression, and flexibility rather than tumbling and vaulting. There are no bars, beam, or vault events.
Can my child compete after starting as a beginner?
Yes. After 6-18 months of consistent training, beginners can enter USAG Level 3 competitions - the first official competitive level. Our coaches will let you know when your child is ready.
Will my child train alongside artistic gymnasts at Kurt Thomas Gymnastics?
No. RRT has its own dedicated area inside Kurt Thomas Gymnastics. Your child trains with other rhythmic students; KTG's artistic programs (bars, beam, vault, tumbling) use a different part of the facility on their own schedule.
Is the Frisco location growing?
Yes. We currently run Saturday morning beginners. As demand grows we'll add more class times.
