What is Aesthetic Group Gymnastics?

The sport of Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (AGG) is based on stylized, natural total body movement. The sport involves harmonious, rhythmic, and dynamic movements performed with natural use of strength. There is a natural flow from one movement to the next, as if each new movement is created from the previous one. All movements must be performed fluently, showing amplitude and variety in the dynamics and speed.

Composition

The composition must contain versatile and varied body movements, such as body waves and swings, balances and pivots, jumps and leaps, dance steps, and lifts. Physical qualities such as flexibility, speed, strength, coordination, and ability to move effortlessly are required.

Teamwork

A competitive group consists of 6 to 10 gymnasts. Teamwork and unity are essential. Choreography using expressive interpretation of music through movements creates a story.

AGG is art, expression and feelings combined into a high level competitive sport.
