On March 21st, 2012, Antibes Rhythmic School held their annual March group routine competition! We had nine groups compete, each demonstrating their abilities with different apparatuses. Each group was judged by the parents and peers in terms of synchronization, their ability to work with their chosen apparatuses, and their sense of teamwork.
This competition are also held to teach the young gymnasts how to express their creativity through sports, and work on their character of teamwork and sportsmanship in the process. It also aids them in developing a stronger, friendlier bond with their fellow gymnasts and most importantly, to have fun. The nine groups that had competed during this year’s show were the Sparkly Bubbles, Spring Flowers, Lightning Stars, Small scarves, Bouncing Balls, Red Rose, Shining Stars, Pink Balloons, and the Spring Spirals.
Their performances displaying several rolls, throws, balances, jumps, dance sequences.
After the group routine portion had finished, the individual routines began. We saw routines performed by different gymnasts with a variety of apparatuses. Votes by the parents were then collected and counted, and results of the group competition were revealed. Sparkly Bubbles and Spring Flowers had tied for First place, with the Lightning Stars taking second, and the Bouncing Balls and Small Scarves tying for third.
We wish all the gymnasts luck in future competitions, and all the baby cup competitors the best of luck in May!
