New Beginners

Rhythmic gymnastics combines sport and dance with music to create a beautiful display of athleticism and grace! Our recreational program introduces the basics of rhythmic gymnastics such as flexibility, coordination, balance, and locomotion. Gymnasts will learn hand-eye coordination skills with various rhythmic apparatus such as throwing, catching, & bouncing. The primary goals for this group are building body awareness, physical literacy, and fundamental movement skills. In addition to developing basic physical skills, another key aspect of our Recreational program is developing a positive and supportive environment. We encourage all participants to be “good citizens”, which includes listening to and following simple directions, learning to trust their coach, and working with others. These gymnasts have the opportunity to perform as a group in the Winter & Summer Gala Performances in Calgary. No previous experience is required.

Precompetitive

Our pre-competitive program is designed to further develop apparatus and body techniques in order for gymnasts to be able to compete as a group or individually  in the future. Once the fundamental skills are mastered, we begin to work on combining the body skills with the apparatus into routines set to music. Learning to train together in a collaborative group environment gives gymnasts an introduction to goal-setting, learning how to overcome challenges, and developing their own personal creativity. Gymnasts have the opportunity to perform and be evaluated at various performances both locally and within Alberta. No previous experience is required.
