National Gymnastics Week has been celebrated by Rhythmic Gymnastics Alberta with two major events:
Illusions Rhythmic Gymnastics Club performs to celebrate the Chinese New Year and this year Chinese New Year. Getting out into the community for events such as this helps showcase the sport of Rhythmic Gymnastics, and the innovative choreography by Yunping Chen.
Edmonton Rhythmic Gymnastics held a packed Gala performance. This event showcased gymnasts of all ages - from 1st year recreational gymnasts doing mass routines to Elite-bound gymnasts perfecting their routines prior to competing at Elite this week. Fun group routines were performed by all the competitive levels – with retired national level gymnasts performing with current gymnasts. Of special note, Judy Berecz, previous 2003 World Championships team member, performed in two Gala routines, and also choreographed and coached the majority of the Provincial Level 5/6 competitive and fun routines. Rhythmic Gymnastics Alberta representatives were invited to honour retiring Edmonton Rhythmics gymnasts, Bridget Gibson and Jenna Azarko.
