Creativity and Gymnastics

[4inches]

Hey guys! So for school we have to do a project on creativity. This was our only guideline for the project, so I picked "Creativity in Gymnastics" as my topic. So here's the big question... How do you show creativity in gymnastics? Answer the poll and explain if you have the time. Thanks!

Routines? Mainly floor and beam but the artistry can really reflect a gymnasts personality

I think creativity can be shown in any routine (floor, beam, and even bars) through the way the gymnast chooses to execute it. Floor: the music, dance elements, and even the skills can show creativity. The skills may have a specific element connected to them that gives off s certain feeling and the gymnast may have a specific expression through the moves depending on the music that they chose. For beam, I would say the gymnast can express themselves through the moves of the routine. You may have a quick energetic kind of routine(if that makes any sense) or you may have a slower graceful routine with more dance elements then a ton of flips and jumps. On bars, same thing. I feel a bar routine can give off a certain energy depending on the skills they chose. It can be a quicker, routine with more flips or a more graceful routine with pirouettes or a certain fluidity to it. I had a little bit of trouble explaining this! It's hard to put into words but I hope it helped!

I really just have a big smile and finish all my skills, arms back chin up. I have that extra little "sass" too. Since I'm only a compulsory I can't do my own routines

As much dance as I can fit
