Airborne became a reality for the two owners Melanie Ruggiero and Leah Tanquary in September 1994. Starting our own gymnastics program was a dream for us. We wanted to provide a place for all children to experience the beauty of gymnastics, a sport we all loved. Our hope is to serve the community and nurture each and every child to be the best they can be. Whether gymnastics is enjoyed at a recreational level or pursued at the competition level, the benefits of physical, mental, and social interaction can be used in all aspects of the developing child. We hope to share all of the positive experiences and knowledge we have gained through this amazing sport with you and your family for years to come.
