We are excited to announce the launch of our 2025 Choreography Fundamentals Course, a one-day workshop designed to help gymnastics coaches refine their skills and empower their gymnasts with the artistry and technical precision needed for stunning beam and floor routines. Whether you’re coaching beginners or elite athletes, this course offers valuable tools to enhance your choreography knowledge, boost performance quality, and increase competition success.

Why This Course is a Must for Every Coach

The Choreography Course is designed to help you craft routines that are not only technically sound but also creatively captivating. As gymnastics continues to evolve, artistic performance plays an increasingly important role, and understanding how to combine skill with expression is crucial for success.
