What to Wear

What to Wear to Rhythmic Gymnastics Class, From Day One

Prepare fitted clothing she can move freely in, a hair tie, socks, and no jewelry. What to wear to gymnastics comes down to two rules: the coach can see alignment, and nothing loose gets near the apparatus.

Clothing requirements

  • Bottoms: Tight leggings or stretchy shorts
  • Top: A snug t-shirt or tank top
  • Hair: Pulled back in a ponytail with a hair tie
  • Feet: Socks, every class
  • No jewelry — please leave it at home

Socks on the training carpets

Everyone wears socks on the training carpets, every class. Please pack a pair.

• You must wear socks to step on the training carpets.

• Shoes stay off the carpets.

• As soon as you step off the carpets, put your shoes back on.

• Put shoes back on when stepping off, so the carpets stay clean.

This policy maintains cleanliness and hygiene on the training surface, keeping it free from dirt and debris for a safe, sanitary training environment.

Before the first class

  • Follow the arrival time in the confirmed trial message
  • Use the restroom before class begins
  • The coach may use the first class to review program fit
  • First classes are for finding her feet — watch for interest and enjoyment
