TRUMPINGTON RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS
Trumpington Rhythmic Gymnastics was established in 2017 by Claire Bourdin.
The club fully registered with British Gymnastics and all sessions are ran by fully qualified coaches, all of whom are all DBS checked.
The aim is to introduce rhythmic gymnastics to the children of the local community from 5 years old, and to give each gymnast the opportunity to enjoy the sport and reach their full potential whether at a recreational or competitive level.
Gymnasts in our club must be registered with British Gymnastics.
RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS
Rhythmic Gymnastics is an olympic sport combining the beauty and gracefulness of ballet and dance, the strength of gymnastics, the control of handheld apparatus such as rope, ball, clubs, hoop and ribbon, while performing a floor routine in music.
Rhythmic gymnastics can be performed individually or as part of a group.
