"Rhythmic Gymnastics is a fast-growing Olympic sport combining elements of ballet, gymnastics, theatrical dance, and apparatus manipulation. Rhythmic gymnastics trains participants to a high degree of athletic skill, strength, flexibility and grace. Participants tap into their own creativity and express themselves through the use of choreographed movement and dance, games and competitions. Gymnasts do floor work using ropes, balls, hoops, ribbons, clubs and scarves. Each class employs music to develop rhythm and musicality. And because it's so much fun, rhythmic gymnastic participants get a great workout almost without realizing it! Children will perform in a show for parents and teachers at the end of the semester."
