Jun 19, 2025 · Gemma DelgaudioMarlia (Gymnastics) should be fired for how she talks & speaks to the kids. This has been brought up to management several times and she still works there/still talks to the kids badly. I would never put any of my children in any of Marlia’s classes. All of the other current gymnastics coaches are amazing!
Mar 07, 2025 · Sunny SWill you be getting food trucks in your parking lot anytime soon? Marlia is a very respectable coach. And I never heard anyone call a gymnast a SISSY. Go NAVY!!!!
May 10, 2025 · Jamie EllisWe absolutely love Sun Dance! My daughter has done gymnastics here for over a year and it’s been nothing but amazing! The staff is great, the owners are great and they truly value us as the paying members. We love this gym!
