About AGG NorCal
AGG NorCal is dedicated to cultivating athleticism and artistic expression through the sport of Aesthetic Group Gymnastics. Our mission is to inspire, train, and lead the next generation of athletes in this beautiful fusion of art and sport.
Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (AGG)
AGG is a gymnastics discipline that emphasizes stylized, natural total body movements. While most similar to Rhythmic Gymnastics, AGG differentiates itself through fluid, harmonious body movements, and does not include apparatuses.
AGG is a team sport made up of 4 to 14 gymnasts. A competitive program will include a variety of elements, such as jumps, balances, pivots, dance steps, lifts, and body movements. The elements in the routine should flow naturally, with each movement appearing to be created by the previous one. Choreographed to music, routines require expression and a storyline.
AGG is a unique blend of competitive sport and art. Athletes in this sport need a range of physical qualities and skills, including flexibility, strength, coordination, speed, agility, expression, teamwork, and unity.
Originating from Finnish Women's Gymnastics, AGG has gained popularity in Europe, and is now beginning to establish itself in the USA. Therefore, national and international level competition is possible in this sport.
We welcome dancers, artistic gymnasts, rhythmic gymnasts, figure skaters, cheerleaders, and others to join the beautiful sport of AGG!
AGG NorCal is the first and only aesthetic group gymnastics club in the Northern California!
