Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (AGG) is a discipline of gymnastics based on stylized, natural
total body movement. The sport involves harmonious, rhythmic, and dynamic movements
performed with economical and natural use of strength. There is a natural flow from one
movement to the next, as if each new movement is created from the previous one. All
movements must be performed fluently, showing amplitude and variety in the dynamics and
speed. The composition must contain versatile and varied body movements, such as body
waves and swings, balances and pivots, jumps and leaps, dance steps, and lifts. Physical
qualities such as flexibility, speed, strength, coordination, and ability to move effortlessly are
required. A competitive group consists of 6 to 10 gymnasts. Teamwork and unity are
essential. Choreography using expressive interpretation of music through movements creates
a story.
