Marissa started rhythmic gymnastic lessons at Carolyn's School of Rhythmic Gymnastics (CSRG) this year. So far, she's been enjoying the classes!
Ms. Carolyn Au Yong (former national gymnast) is her coach. There are about 12 kids in the class, age between 3-5. Class is for one hour. Fees are collected every 2 months. First time registration fee applies - which includes training leotard, shorts, ball, rope, bag and half shoes.
The kids start off with warm up and stretching. After that, they do ball and rope techniques e.g. bouncing and catching the ball, rolling the ball, skipping with the rope etc. Ms. Carolyn will demonstrate the techniques and then will check and coach each gymnast individually to make sure they get the techniques correct.
Grading examinations are conducted twice a year. Depending on your child's progress, the coach will inform if she will be able to take the exam. The basic level is Baby Gymnast. The girls will perform a freehand routine (1.5 minutes) on the carpet together with a partner. The next level up is Little Gymnast. Examination will include 3 routines: freehand, rope and ball. After that, gymnasts will go through Grades 1-5 (each grade has 6 routines i.e. Freehand, rope, ball, hoop, clubs, ribbon). Gymnasts will have the opportunity to participate in MSSD level competitions, inter-club competitions, state level selection competitions, national level competitions and also international invitational competitions.

Hi there,
I see that are many club offering RG classes. Do you happen to know any that offer artistic for girls? Btw, I notice your girl use to join Total Gym. What makes you change?
Thanks in advance.
For artistic gymnastics i am only familiar with Total Gym. Since Marissa is into ballet & dance, we have decided to concentrate on Rhythmic Gymnastics instead.
Hi Hui Wearn,
Thanks for the reply.
