RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS RECREATIONAL PROGRAM

At Miss Rhythmics we have classes to suit all levels and abilities. Whether you are interested in a fun, after-school activity or looking for high-level competitive sport, we have a class for you.

Recreational classes are best suited to those girls who want to experience all the fun of rhythmic gymnastics has to offer in a nurturing, non-competitive environment. No experience is necessary: girls will be introduced to this wonderful and graceful sport in our classes.

All our RG classes incorporate elements of acrobatics, ballet and a variety of dance styles (incl Jazz, Lyrical and Contemporary). Our programs include exercises to help girls improve balance, fitness, flexibility and coordination. Girls will learn skills with fun rhythmic gymnastics hand-held equipment, called “Apparatus”, Rope, Hoop, Ball, Clubs and Ribbon.

Frequency of classes for all recreational groups:

1 x class per week (9 classes per term). Duration depends on an age group. 
2 x classes per week are recommended for better results.

END OF YEAR PERFORMANCE

All our gymnasts are invited to participate in our concert for parents at the end of each year (usually held in November).

This is a perfect opportunity to watch your children showcasing their talents and skills developed throughout the year. The concert is a wonderful event for everyone involved! Moreover, it enhances students’ confidence, self-esteem and performance skills. This a must-see event!

“We appreciate your effort on organising this event…We are inspired by you and your attitude. Even though it’s first time for Lydia and we are impressed she has been trained so well in Gymnastics from your effort” – Cathy, Wahroonga

“…I was so impressed with the skills and enthusiasm my daughter displayed during the concert in such a short time and that can only be through a team of dedicated coaches.

I especially loved when yourself and the other coaches performed for parents, carers and kids during the concert. This gives the girls an opportunity to see where they can see themselves in a number of years and can look up to you as role models. Very inspiring to be a part of!!”, – Elizabeth, Asquith
