Parents Dance and Gymnastics?

[Dream]

Wondering how many children are in dance in addition to gymnastics? If so what type of dance?
Many gymnasts at our gym seem to be doing both even the kids that are already at the gym 16 to 20 hours a week.
Wondered if this is typical at other places?

Very common in quality high performance program, usually run by the gym.

my girls do/did both dance and gymnastics - 16-27 hours at the gym depending on the kid/level and they dance(d) about 9-12 hours a week.

Mine has done both gymnastics and competitive dance for the past three years. Gymnastics is 16 hours/week (L7) and dance is 10 hours/week. She is also at an academically rigorous private school with a good amount of homework, so it’s a lot. We’ve been trying to get her to chose one or at least drop one back in intensity, but no luck so far

Are they homeschooled? how did they balance that

What grade is she in? I'm wondering because I might be doing cheer (thankfully only four hours), gymnastics for 16 hours and then student council stuff and a law magnet

It’s super common at our gym too. Most of the girls take ballet specifically to help with their form and toe points on floor and beam. Even with the high hours, that crossover really helps with the artistic side of the sport.
