SPORT & ARTISTRY

What Is Rhythmic Gymnastics?

Rhythmic gymnastics is a women’s Olympic sport that brings together gymnastics, ballet, dance and expressive movement to music. Gymnasts work with apparatus such as the hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon and rope, combining coordinated body movements with precise apparatus skills.

Through consistent training, girls develop coordination, balance, flexibility, strength and musicality. They learn to move with grace and control, express themselves through performance and build confidence as they master new skills.
