Rhythmic Gymnastic at Strathcona

Affiliated with Gymnastics Victoria, Strathcona Rhythmic Gymnastics enhances students’ posture, musicality, flexibility and team spirit. A beautiful and elegant sport that combines dance and gymnastics, students learn to work with apparatus, rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbons with a combination of ballet, jazz and acrobatics.

The aim is to provide a safe, fun and rewarding experience with qualified coaches who have all competed in the sport.

Strathcona Rhythmic Gymnastics offers all levels of gymnasts the opportunity to take part in the National Levels system. The training demands vary depending on the level of the gymnasts, ranging from once a week through to five times a week. New members both from the Strathcona and wider communities are welcome.

If your child is interested in joining, please contact the Rhythmic Gymnastics convener.

Levels and Time Commitment

Classes are structured for enjoyment and students learn and progress at their own individual rate. Progress from one class to another is primarily driven by individual maturity and skill level. Participation ranges from one hour per week for beginners to 10 hours per week for our senior competitive gymnasts. Please note that enrolment is presumed for the whole year.

As a member of Gymnastics Australia, we follow the Australian national levels code. Strathcona offers the national stream (Levels 1 – 10) but not international stream which leads to junior and senior international competition.
