Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know before booking your first class.
What is tricking?
Tricking is an acrobatic sport that combines explosive martial arts kicks, gymnastics flips, and breakdancing-style creativity into one discipline. Athletes perform spinning kicks, aerial flips, and creative combinations. It's athletic, artistic, and unlike anything else your kid has probably seen.
What age can kids start?
We work with athletes ages 5 and up. Adults are absolutely welcome too — tricking is genuinely a sport for any age. The main requirement isn't age, it's being ready to learn and willing to work.
Does my child need prior experience?
Zero experience required. We build athletes from the ground up. In fact, a lot of our best athletes started with no gymnastics, martial arts, or dance background. They had nothing to unlearn.
Is tricking safe?
Yes, when taught correctly. DFDub follows a progressive skill system — athletes don't attempt advanced tricks until they've mastered the foundations. Coach Ian and Truong use spotting and controlled progressions to ensure every athlete trains safely. We never rush an athlete to a skill they're not ready for.
What does my child wear to class?
Comfortable athletic wear — shorts or sweats, a t-shirt. Athletic shoes for warm-up, but many tricks are performed barefoot or in socks. No special equipment required to start.
Where are classes held?
Two locations: Dana's Studio of Dance (DSOD) in Southlake (Monday 6:30–7:30 PM and Friday 5:30–6:30 PM) and Altitude Trampoline Park in Grapevine (Wednesday 6:30–7:30 PM).
How much do classes cost?
We'll discuss pricing when you book your free intro class. The first class is always free — come try it, meet the coaches, and see if it's a fit. Then we'll talk about what makes sense for your family.

Can adults train at DFDub?
Yes. Adults train alongside older teen athletes. Tricking is genuinely a sport for any age — and adult athletes often progress quickly because of their mental discipline and body awareness.
How is tricking different from gymnastics or martial arts?
Tricking takes elements from both but is its own thing. Gymnastics has rigid rules and judged events. Martial arts has kata, forms, and sparring. Tricking is about individual expression, progressive skill development, and community. There are no judges, no teams, no opponents — just you and the trick.
