The club runs KinderGym sessions specifically designed for preschoolers, introducing the youngest children to rhythmic gymnastics through age-appropriate movement and early work with apparatus like ribbons and hoops. As children grow, they can progress into intermediate and advanced levels, building technical skill and confidence. Whether your child is just starting out or you're an adult looking to try rhythmic gymnastics, RG1 has a pathway for you.
Yes, RG1 offers a trial or come-and-try class, so your child can experience rhythmic gymnastics before committing to a full term.

Yes, RG1 is affiliated with and accredited by British Gymnastics, which means the club meets national standards for coaching qualifications, safety, and athlete development. This affiliation gives parents that their child is training in a recognised, professionally run environment. It also means gymnasts following a competitive pathway have access to British Gymnastics competitions and progression frameworks as they advance through the levels at RG1.
RG1 specialises in all five rhythmic gymnastics apparatus: rope, hoop, ball, ribbon, and clubs. Classes focus on blending artistic performance with technical skill, so your child will learn to handle each piece of apparatus with grace and precision. Even the youngest gymnasts in KinderGym are introduced to apparatus work in a fun, age-appropriate way. As they progress, they'll develop the rhythm, strength, and creativity that define rhythmic gymnastics, preparing them for performances and, if they wish, competition.
RG1 is a specialist rhythmic gymnastics club, so the entire programme is dedicated to the artistic, apparatus-based discipline rather than the general gymnastics or tumbling you'll find elsewhere. The focus is on elegance, creativity, and performance, skills that unite movement, music, and artistry. With pathways from preschool through to adult, RG1 offers a welcoming environment for anyone drawn to the beauty and challenge of rhythmic gymnastics, whether your child dreams of competition or simply wants to dance with ribbons.
