Rhythmic gymnastics is an Olympic sport, primarily for women, in which complex gymnastic exercises are performed to music. It is a combination of ballet, gymnastics, theatrical dance, and apparatus work. It requires the comprehensive development of five key qualities: Flexibility, endurance, strength, coordination, and speed, with flexibility being the most important. The five apparatus used are:
Individual gymnastics represents a unique dance-gymnastic performance style, where the gymnast stands out with her grace, flexibility, and expressiveness. This type of gymnastics combines elements from various dance styles with the performance of gymnastic exercises using the body and different apparatus. The program for individual gymnasts includes various routines performed with individual apparatus (hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon), which are determined for the respective competitive cycle.
Girls under 9, Girls under 11, Girls (12-13), Girls (14-15), and Women. The first four age categories last for two competitive years, while the Women’s age category starts from the year the gymnast turns 16 until she decides to end her career.
The gymnasts’ routines are evaluated by a judging panel, which is divided into panels that evaluate the technique, execution, and artistry of the gymnast or gymnasts. The panels consist of judges for difficulty /D/, and judges for execution /E/ and artistry /A/.
Each routine must have a corresponding idea and be performed according to the requirements of the “International Rhythmic Gymnastics Judging Rules”. Regardless of the discipline – individual or ensemble gymnastics – our goal is to help children develop their skills, express their individuality, and achieve success at both national and international levels.
