Welcome to Rhythmic Gymnastics program!
Rhythmic gymnastics is an Olympic sport that combines ballet, dance, with expressive movement and apparatus manipulation of the ball, clubs, hoop, ribbon, and rope. This sport is perfectly balanced for developing flexibility, strength, and hand/body-eye coordination.
Rhythmic Gymnastics, a symbiosis of art, aesthetic and beauty, paired with highest performances, is a true women's sport and belongs to the most attractive and beautiful disciplines.
The main characteristic of Rhythmic Gymnastics as a compositional discipline is the connection of the most difficult acrobatic movement elements which require a very high corporal flexibility and motor activity and which are presented by the gymnasts in perfect harmony with the music chosen for the exercise.
The Difference Between Recreational Classes and Competitive Teams
Both recreational and competitive gymnastics programs promote strength, flexibility, endurance, confidence, fitness and fun. While recreational (non-competitive) programs are fitting for anyone, competitive programs usually require an invitation to join after being evaluated by a qualified coach.
Recreational classes:
In our recreational program we take a non-competitive, progressive approach to skills development. Our classes are designed for ages from 3 to 9 at all ability and levels . Coaches work with gymnasts on their overall development on co-ordination, flexibility, strength, balance, musicality and basic techniques that allow them to experiment and work with different rhythmic gymnastics apparatuses such as balls, ribbons,
hoops, ropes. Classes are 1 hour, 1-2 days a week. No prior gymnastics or dance experience is required at the beginner level.
Pre-team: Level 3 - first competitive level.
Pre-team is a stepping stone between recreational classes and our competitive team. After mastering the skills at level 1-2, they will have the opportunity to be selected for the competitive team and represent ASCA at USAG sanctioned competitions. This level is also appropriate for new students who have prior gymnastics experience. 1,5 hour classes, 2-3 days per week.
Pre-team girls is required to have their own Rhythmic Gymnastics equipment (rope,hoop,ball etc.)
Team: practices 6 to 14 hours a week depend on level.
