MISSION AND PRINCIPLES

Our Mission

The goal at Faulkner's and their staff is to share their love of dance and gymnastics with their students. In so doing, the students grow into mature adults; Faulkner's helps children find an outlet for their energy and creativity. Many past students continue to use their dance and gymnastics. Presently six former students have their own thriving studios. Also, some of our past gymnasts have become United States of America Gymnastics Association judges, meet directors and college cheerleaders. Others have performed on television and in movies. Since 1980, students have competed in dance and gymnastic competitions and have won numerous regional and national awards.

We realize that from the earliest years of every child's life success is achieved through physical activities. The mission of Faulkner's Dance & Gymnastics is for all participants to gain enhanced self-worth, self-confidence, and an "I can" attitude. Our students are faced with physical and mental challenges in the safe environment of our dance and gymnastics facility and find solutions by learning new and exciting skills. As our athletes progress, we are happy for their gymnastic and dance accomplishments, but even more proud that we foster the ability in each person to say "I CAN!"

At Faulkner's, we believe that everyone who participates in our programs receive the same quality coaching regardless of ability. Each student is unique and should be treated as individuals. We want every student to leave each session feeling successful in what they have accomplished that day. Every child can gain self-confidence, discipline and poise through our dance, gymnastics and many other programs offered at Faulkner's Dance & Gymnastics.

Faulkner's has the resources, staff and connections to help your child reach their maximum ability. If this means gymnastics, acting, all styles of dance, cheerleading, voice, guitar, taekwondo, physically challenged, break dancing, clogging, etc., ask today how to make your child's dream come true.
