Beginner's Guide: Rhythmic Gymnastics - How to Dance with an Apparatus

Ever wondered how gymnasts launch an apparatus metres into the air, tumble beneath it, and catch it without missing a beat? This is your crash course in rhythmic gymnastics. We break down the four apparatus — hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon — and what makes each one unique. Learn how routines blend dance, flexibility and daring apparatus work, how the judges score difficulty and execution, and what separates a clean routine from a world title.
