The Beginners
Designed for girls aged 4 and up, this program provides an opportunity to learn the basics of the sport in a fun atmosphere. Classes are held weekly. Gymnasts will perform as a unified team for family and friends. We teach fundamental dance moves and introduce rhythmic gymnastics skills with balls, hoops, ropes and ribbons. Musical movement, fun and creative routines are combines to give beginners an introduction to the beautiful sport of rhythmic gymnastics.
Competitive Program
Accepts new members by audition only. The time and level of commitment required is dependent on the experience and age of the gymnast. Coaches prepare a personalized training program and assign gymnasts to their levels and training groups. Our training programs prepare each gymnast for competitions. Aura Rhythmics gymnasts are registered members of the BCRSGF and RGC/GCG. Their training follows a program according to FIG rules. Aura Rhythmics has a tradition of training gymnasts that have consistently ranked in the medals at provincial, regional and international championships.

Private Classes
Private classes are very valuable for working on the routines, the details of the technique, and any other individual needs of the gymnasts.
We strongly encourage, especially the competitive gymnasts from Western and National Stream, to book private lessons for choreography. Choreography is a creative process and it will give the coaches a chance to focus only on one person and one routine at a time. Please schedule your private lessons for choreography directly with your coach.
The cost for Private lessons is: 1hour – $80; 1.5 hours – $110; 2 hours – $130
Later in the year, when the routines are ready, we offer semi private lessons: 1.5 hours (2 athletes) – $120
Music Fees
Music fees are due in January. The cost for new music is $65. For shared music is $35.
Ballet Fees
The cost for ballet is very reasonable as it is shared among the gymnasts participating. The ballet fees will be collected in the beginning of the year.
Competition Expenses
The competition expenses may vary depending on level and location (travel, hotel cost, food etc.. ). It also Includes the registration fee and coaches’ fees and expenses.
