Rhythmic Gymnastics is a sport that harmonizes body movement with grace and beauty of dance and music, while working with ribbons, balls, hoops, ropes and clubs in a choreographed dance-and-tumble routine.

Gymnastics events test the strength, rhythm, balance, flexibility and agility of the gymnast.

Rhythmic gymnastics is a very challenging sport. It requires commitment, confidence, attitude and a lot of practice.
