The
Pirouette Rhythmic Gymnastics Club is an Ontario registered non-profit
sports organization offering a variety of rhythmic gymnastics
programs to participants from the ages of 5 to 17. It serves as
a developmental base for the recreational and competitive sport
of rhythmic gymnastics. The concept of the club has been designed
to enhance the physical and mental development of participants
while respecting strict health, ethical and aesthetic standards.
Our mission is to provide quality rhythmic gymnastics programs
in a supportive community environment that encourages self-expression
while fostering the physical, mental and social development
of the participants. We have designed recreation programs, preparatory
classes, and intermediate training at the junior and senior
levels. All of our classes are designed to meet each participant’s
individual needs and level of performance, while maintaining
program standards and learning objectives
The Aesthetic Group Competition
(AGG) is officially incorporated into the Gymnastics Canada
(GCG) Rhythmic Gymnastics competitive stream and as a result
of the amalgamation, the Technical Rules and Regulations are
now more demanding and Technical Skill difficulties have increased
significantly. There are two different streams for the AGG within
this structure: The Provincial Stream and the Inter-club Stream
(which we know as the Red Ribbon competition). The Pirouette
Club has been successfully competing in the Red Ribbon for the
past few years. The Pirouette club has restructured its competitive
program levels to align with levels of the GCG Rhythmic stream.
The club will continue to prepare our gymnasts for the inter-club
competition stream of the AGG.
The emphasis of this program is to utilize
body techniques and apparatus skills in individual and group
routines designed for a competitive forum. The intensity of
the warm-up, body technique and apparatus skill development
will vary as the training season progresses towards preparation
for the competitive events. The hand apparatus may consist of
the traditional rhythmic apparatus and/or non traditional apparatus
such as hats, stuffed animals, batons and other objects.
In each competitive year,
two routines are developed - a free routine and a creative routine.
The free routine is the execution of the rhythmic body movements
without the use of a hand apparatus. The creative routine uses
a hand apparatus and as the name suggests, it is the creativity
and expressiveness of the manipulation of the apparatus combined
with the body movements. The themes are assigned by GCG Rhythmic
Gymnastics association.
