Rhythmic gymnastics incorporates dance and calisthenics with the use of a ball, ribbon, hoop, rope, clubs, or other equipment. It requires strength, flexibility, and coordination.

The very nature of the sport requires a safe and sure footing that will offer freedom of movement combined with protection from falls, shock absorption, and unnecessary fatigue.
