University of Gymnastics, Plano

University of Gymnastics works to develop happy, physically fit, and confident children through their programs. Their Learning Academy melds academics, fitness, and music into a cohesive program for children from preschoolers to young adults. Children can also take part in a gymnastics program that instills discipline while boosting agility and coordination. All of this was created by Dave and Lynda Rose, who passed it on to their daughter and former competitive gymnast Dayna DeProspero. DeProspero heads up a team of veteran gymnastics instructors and academic teachers who challenge students both intellectually and athletically to help them reach their goals, from competing in the Olympics to reciting a Shakespearean monologue during a balance-beam routine.
