Gymnastics is a very exacting sport – it requires total body coordination, strength, agility and flexibility. Originating back to ancient Greece, the sport of gymnastics has evolved from the exercise routines of soldiers to become what it is today, a world sport that encompasses six various disciplines: artistic gymnastics, sports aerobics, rhythmic gymnastics, sports acrobatics, trampoline work and general gymnastics. Rhythmic gymnastics is very similar to dance. This discipline involves either a single competitor or a five person team and uses five different types of apparatus – ribbon, ball, clubs, hoop, and rope.

Rhythmic gymnastics evolved from ‘aesthetic gymnastics’ which was introduced in 19th century Sweden. In this discipline, students are encouraged to express their emotions through motion. It was then called “grace without dancing”. True enough; the rhythmic gymnast is an epitome of grace, with bodily movements ranging from calisthenics to more challenging activities choreographed to music. Another form of training called eurhythmics was developed that emphasized graceful movements, flexibility, and posture.

Dancing gymnastics can be described as a marriage of art and sport. Today, rhythmic gymnastics is one of the most spectacular gymnastic disciplines in the Olympic Games and other sporting events. Rhythmic gymnastic performance is scored by three values: technical, visual, and executive. As of now, the sport is largely participated in more by women than by men though there is a men’s version now growing in popularity.

Dancing gymnastics, aside from being a competitive sport played by athletes, can also be an excellent exercise especially for young and growing children. Gymnastics is an excellent way to develop the physical, emotional and mental aspects. Not only does it build strength, agility and flexibility, but also helps build self-confidence, discipline and independence. There are dancing gymnastics schools where budding gymnasts get to experience the exciting though exacting sport of gymnastics.
