About Rhythmic Gymnastics

Rhythmic Gymnastics offers a unique blend of movement, music and hand apparatus. The opportunities for movement are endless as children and coaches use their natural creativity to manipulate ropes, hoops, balls, clubs and ribbons in fun and spectacular ways. Rhythmic Gymnastics is a fully accredited sport affiliated with the Gymnastics South Africa (GSA) and gymnasts can compete at provincial and national levels.
