Frequently Asked Questions

   
Q:

Is rhythmic gymnastics only for girls?

A:

Currently yes.  There are only a few rhythmic programs for boys internationally.

 
   
Q: How does rhythmic gymnastics differ from artistic gymnastics?
A: While artistic gymnastics is often done on top of equipment, rhythmic gymnastics is done solely on the floor with the use of apparatus such as a ball, clubs, hoop, ribbon, or rope. Instead of dangerous tumbling, rhythmic focuses on flexibility, balances, leaps, and pivots.  
   
Q: Is there an age limit?  Is it too late or early to start at my child’s age?
A: We work with students ages 2 - 16, at all levels.  
   
Q:

Can my daughter try a class first?

A:

Yes, we offer a free trial class.  Please reference “Getting Started” on the side bar.

   
Q:

Can my daughter do rhythmic gymnastics for fun and fitness or will she be required to compete?

A:

Most of our programs are geared towards recreational participation because we believe rhythmic gymnastics can be a rewarding experience at all levels of involvement.  We encourage interested girls to explore the option of competing if it appeals to them.

   
Q:

How long are the classes?

A:

Classes can range from 1 hour for some recreational classes to 2.5 hours for team workouts.  Please check out our “programs” page for further information.
