Little girls in Niverville were experiencing the art of rhythmic gymnastics earlier this year. The new program was designed for girls ages four to seven and focused on flexibility, grace, musical awareness, and creativity.
Spirals Rhythmic Gymnastics, out of Île-des-Chênes, started running a ten-week program in Niverville this spring teaching fundamental dance moves and introducing students to rhythmic gymnastics skills with the rope, hoop, ball, ribbons, and scarves. The introductory program had 15 young girls, all of them gaining self-esteem, confidence, and body awareness.
Rhythmic gymnastics helps young children develop total body fitness, including strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. The sport also builds hand-eye coordination. Rhythmic gymnastics combines the grace of ballet, the athleticism of artistic gymnastics, and the creative movement of dance.
Niverville Recreation will be hosting a gymnastics camp this summer for ages four to six (in the morning) and ages seven to ten (in the afternoon).

Citizen Poll
When we refer to a place as having a “small town” feel, in your opinion is that feeling created more by the size of the population or by the friendliness of its residents?
