Combining the strength and agility of the gymnast with the elegance and beauty of the dancer, rhythmic gymnastics is both demanding and intensely satisfying. In this book the author takes us through the basic techniques of work with rope, ball, hoop, ribbon, and clubs and also offers helpful advice on how to put together routines for competitions.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good resource for gym teachers,
By Jennifer F. (Lahti, Finland.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rhythmic Gymnastics: The Skills of the Game (Paperback)
This book is an excellent resource for those who would like to introduce a rhythmic program to their school or gymnastics club. The book covers everything from equipment(it even shows you how to make your own ribbon and stick) to the different kinds of body movements included in rhythmic gymnastics. Basic apparatus work is illustrated for all the five apparatus: rope, ball, hoop, ribbon, and clubs. There is also a section which covers the stretches and conditioning exercises helpful to rhythmic gymnasts. Nearly 150 photographs and illustrations help make this an excellent tool for teachers.
