Turnzwerge – Children’s Gymnastics for Ages 1.5 to 5

Movement. Play. Confidence.

In our Turnzwerge classes, children aged 1.5 to 5 discover movement in a playful and caring environment. Until their fourth birthday, children take part together with a parent or caregiver; from around age 4, they can join independently.

With climbing, balancing, rolling, jumping and imaginative games, children explore what their bodies can do and build confidence along the way.

Turnzwerge Overview

  • MiniZwerge (1.5 – 2 years) as a parent-child class
  • MidiZwerge (2 – 3 years) as a parent-child class
  • MaxiZwerge (3 – 4 years) as a parent-child class
  • JuniorZwerge (4 – 5 years) without parent participation

For younger children who do not yet attend daycare, please see our KeKiKi courses. For older children, explore KiBoTu, our floor gymnastics class for ages 6 to 9.

    The youngest children gather their first movement experiences together with a trusted parent or caregiver. Through play, they discover what their bodies can already do.
  • MidiZwerge (2 – 3 years):
    Children build on their first movement experiences and gain more confidence. A parent or caregiver continues to accompany them as they explore and try things out.

    Children become more courageous and independent. With the support of a parent or caregiver, they master small challenges and expand their motor skills.
  • JuniorZwerge (4 – 5 years):

Our son loves running and tumbling on the mats! The trainer is so kind and full of great ideas.
