Rhythmic gymnastics for females combines ballet and creative movements to music, while working with ribbons, balls, hoops, ropes and clubs in a choreographed dance. Martial Gym, the male version of the sport, combines creative movements to music with rope, stick and the free floor. The benifits of joining the Burlington Skylarks Rhythmic Gymnastics team or the Skyhawks  Martial Gym team  include flexibility, grace, balance, strength, agility and hand-eye coordination.  Athletes compete at various levels that match their skill development. We participate in 3 to 4 competitions a season and have a great time putting on a presentation for our family and friends at the end of each season.
