Rhythmic Gymnastics is a combination of ballet, dance, acrobatics and circus moves, displaying gymnastic movements and apparatus skills. Gymnasts have to demonstrate artistry, fitness, coordination, and strength. The sport improves hand-eye coordination, balance and promotes self-expression and creativity.
Gymnasts perform routines on the floor mats to music using apparatus Rope, Hoop, Ball, Clubs and Ribbon. Free Routines are also performed at the lower levels. All routines show fundamental body movements from the categories of leaps & jumps, balances, pivots, and flexibilities. Series of dance steps are compulsory and acrobatic elements may also be included.
Music should contain changes in mood and tempo a match the gymnast's style and apparatus. Our club encourages a nurturing and supportive atmosphere where older and higher level gymnasts encourage and support younger gymnasts and visa versa.
