WHY RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS? 

 

A rhythmic gymnast will always stand out because of her elegant posture, defined muscles, coordination, flexibility, grace and ability to carry herself with poise and confidence. Rhythmic gymnastics is the very kind of gymnastics girls need at the early age. This sport without a doubt helps a clumsy little girl turn in a beautiful swan. Only in rhythmic gymnastics, complex strengths exercises are combined with apparatus handling and various forms of dance, developing rhythm and musicality. At the same time, the little miss learns about life skills like working hard, setting and achieving goals, willpower, strengths of character, time management, and respect for coaches and teammates. She will also learn about her unique abilities to do amazing things with her body and to express herself through movement and dance.
