RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS
WHATEVER MOVES YOU
Rhythmic Gymnastics at the MDI YMCA is perfect for those kids who show an interest in both dance and tumbling. Rhythmic Gymnastics combines elements of dance and gymnastics to create an elegant sport enjoyed by many. The MDI YMCA program follows the "Rainbow Rhythmic" recreational program developed by Rhythmic Dreams/Boston Rhythmic. Kids in the program progress through levels designated by rainbow colors with each level requiring more difficult skills and longer routines.
