A few answers: - the "half-shoes" they wear have the purpose to reduce friction that there would be between the bare skin and the carpet -the costumes are called leotards just as in dance -their age goes from 15 years old as gymnasts enter the senior competitions the year they turn 16 -if you miss a catch points are deducted from your score, if the apparatus (the ball for example) rolls or bounces away you are either faster than it and you catch it quickly or you run to grab the substitute apparatus that has been put on the side of the carpet -yes they get injured quite often if anyone suspect that -yes the tension is REAL Also you should try to watch the group competition, so much goes on at the same time it's so powerful (the athletes in the single competition are not the same ones as in the group one, just for clarity) Love from Italy ❤🇮🇹

Ex gymnast and judge here! Loved all your reactions. I'll try to answer all of your questions :) 1:32 they're clubs not maracas :D 1:50 if you loose an apparatus (be it rope, hoop, ball, one ore both clubs, or ribbon) you just pick it up and keep going. the deduction for the loss of the apparatus can be from -0.50 up to -1.00, depending on how far from the gymnast if falls and how many steps are required for the retrieval. 2:00 yes gymnasts have definitely less turn out than ballerinas 2:19 we kept most of the ballet vocabulary :) 3:06 yes everything is in relevé, just not on pointe, and have to point our toes all the time 3:45 we also consider sickled feet to be bad, but imo there's definitely a lower standard than there is in ballet 4:38 that's a catch without hands, she blocked the club on the floor with the other club (admittedly the club was not supposed to fall that far way from her) 5:20 identical twins! Dina and Arina Averina! (you got it in the end ;D) 6:35 BLR is Belarus, it's near Russia 7:41 rhythmic shoes are usually called toe shoes 8:20 Linoy (ISR) doesn't have the same legs as the Russians but she's still the current world silver medalist :) 8:41 RGymnasts' backs are a mix of natural flexibility and good training, but it's definitely not unusual to have back problems during or after their career 9:20 that's called a boomerang. you basically throw the stick and then retrieve it by pulling at the ribbon fabric 9:40 she got a bit tangled in the ribbon 10:26 usually Dina is the one with higher scores 11:14 Averinas were born in 1998. gymnast become senior the year they turn 16, they usually stop competing between 22 an 26 13:07 RG is definetly the extreme version of dance! Let me know if you have any other question. if you want to react to other RG videos, i suggest the routines that use famous ballet music, eg Swan Lake, I'd like to know what you think about those :)

@@jjjjjjjjj934 no rule about repeating a routine. You could theoretically perform the same routine for 4 years in a row or change it every competition. Usually gymnasts change their routine every year. If a routine doesn't work out, like they keep getting low scores or making mistakes, they might change it mid season. Or if a routine works really well they might keep it for 2 years. But still even if the routine stays the same they keep tweaking and adjusting it, so the beginning of season version might be almost completely different from the end of the season version

As a Rhythmic Gymnast who took up Ballet after retiring from RG, this is so much fun to watch! You should do this again, but with videos of gymnasts like Yana Kudryavtseva, Alexandra Merkulova, Alina Kabaeva, etc. In the first video, they're called clubs, not maracas. If you miss/drop an apparatus, you get a deduction and lose out on whatever element you miss to pick up the apparatus. Fouettes in RG have a different technique because we don't do turnout, and we have to manipulate the apparatus while turning, so we don't get to use our arms for support. Everything is in the legs and lower core. In video 2, yes that was an intentional 'drop', it's called a trap. Belarus (Bell-uh-roos) is not part of Russia - the gymnast is Katsiaryna Halkina and she's insanely talented. Her ball routines are out of this world. The "Foot thongs" are called toe shoes :)

I even love it when pole dancers have a ballet background because you can see it in their lines, turnout arm carriage etc. SOme even go the whole hog like Elena Gibson.

hey claudia, i’m not sure if you’ll even see this but I want to thank you for really inspiring me to start ballet again. I’ll explain my story. I started ballet when I was about 6 and continued to do RAD exams until I was 11. I used to enjoy it but once we got to about 7 or 8 years old we switched teachers to the stricter one because she was more specialised in ballet. The first year or so were great, she genuinely seemed like a good teachers, just strict, but it changed as we grew older. She claimed to have our best interests at heart but she often made “jokes” about our weight (she would say that we should stop eating pasta because it made you bloated) or my height which I was VERY insecure about at the time (I am quite short for my age). She didn’t know that I was insecure about it but it still wasn’t her place to comment about it. One time she pushed me over and said that I fell over because I had bad balance and then tried to get me to push her over and when I couldn’t, said it was because she had good balance. (she was a grown adult and I was a small 11 year old girl and had just fallen over so of course I wouldn’t be able to push her over!) This is just a few things that happened but along with a couple of over reasons I decided to quit ballet after that year. (I still danced because I love it but I did other styles instead just dropped ballet.) I discovered your KZread channel at the start to middle of this year and it has really inspired me to start ballet again. I have decided that next year I am going to start ballet again! I really did not want to go back to that same teacher but have instead decided to try a new ballet program and my dance school that they started this year in which we won’t do RAD exams, it’s a more relaxed class and we won’t do pointe. I thought this was a better option than moving studios because I don’t want to leave my friends and I do like the studio that I’m at. I love you so much Claudia and I hope you understand how much you have helped me. thank you so much💖

Rhythmic gymnastics is so extreme! I dance at pittsburgh ballet theatre and did rhythmic at the same time and eventually had to chose ballet over rhythmic because I was always in so much pain. I would go to rhythmic practice and then go to ballet class. It definitely helped with things in ballet though especially flexibility!

As a youngster I did gymnastics and I can honestly say. It did my spine no favours. But I enjoyed gymnastics at the time. Really enjoyed this video Claudia, thank you.

You should watch Swan Club! It was a Korean TV show where they took female celebrities and they all took ballet classes. One of them used to be a professional dancer but left due to injury and pursuit of acting. It was a really interesting show and actually brought a new love of ballet to Korea. The pilot episode where they are learning Barre techniques and terms was interesting and funny because they're not used to the movement. Later they did bring in a Rhythmic Gymnast to join in for their showcase/performance

Foot warning: fabric has sickles feet here and there. I too have a thing about feet , but some moves in fabric where the foot is on the fabric can only be done sickled.

Love your reaction and your appreciation for their talent! Keep up the great videos

I did gymnastics, not rhythmic though, from when I was 2 to about 11 or 12. I was living in America, and then Singapore when I stopped. The gym options were limited, and I was not improving. The kids my age were doing much more advanced stuff. So, I quit and went to dance. Best decision of my life. The flexibility and just the movements really helped me in dance. I've only been dancing about 4 or 5 years, but I think I have progressed very fast, in comparison to someone who might have started at the same time as me without the gym training.

“What happens when you miss one” In a competition on three of the four sides of the carpet are hoop,clubs,ball,ribbon,robe at a point you miss catching (etc ) your apparatus you have the choice of to go to the side and get one of the spare apparatus or get your own back depending on how far away it went. if you are closer to the side go there! If your apparatus goes off the carpet then don’t get it because if you look all the way around the carpet you can see a red line and if you even step a foot out that line you loose points. When you are retrieving your apparatus how many steps you take to get there will be attend to your final score (for worse not good) I don’t want to go any further into detail for this but I hope that answers your question 💕

Most Rhythmic Gymnasts peak around 17-22 and very few continue after 23 I believe (they retire due to injuries) :) If I'm not mistaken, the Averinas were around 18 in this video, they're very famous when it comes to RG (rhythmic gymnastics). If you continue this series, I recommend watching Yana Kudryavtseva for her elegance and excellent body lines, and for the WOW factor, Lala Kramarenko, who is 15 in 2020 and has amazing turns. Love this video! Oh and! If you want amazing fouettes, Boryana Kaleyn has the best out of Rhythmic Gymnasts, I'm not sure if they're clean, but its good

Awesome!!! I like it ... :3 The turns with the ribbon

I just started watching rhythmic gymnastics when all the figure skating shut down from carona, it's my new favorite sport to watch. The ribbons are so amazing and what they can do with their bodies and the apparatus at the same time is just so incredible. I was a gymast and figure skater and my daughter is a ballerina so we love watching it together. The girls all incredibly beautiful too. Love love love this sport.

As a ballet dancer (not high level) I have wondered about different techniques. I have to admit, it bothers me when I see things that aren't the same just because I am accustomed to the appearance of ballet technique. Knowing that it is meant to be done differently helps. I do wonder how a fouette not through devant achieves the "whip" that defines it.

I’m a ballet student. My fav gymnasts are Dina and Arina Averina (the twins!). In their training they also learn ballet. Also, Belarus is a country.😊

Can you react to acrobatic gymnastics sometime? I know not as much dance is involved, but their flexibility and strength is insane!

I am a rhythmic gymnast myself and if I’m being honest this video kinda triggers me but in a funny way 😅 but yes we do have a lot of training and how we do the “tosses” (basically the throw of the apparatus) we have to have a certain angle of the arm that we learn to toss the apparatus as one of the most basics in rhythmic gymnastics. Also for the feet, I would say the feet aren’t too far off of ballet feet because we are taught to turn out, and definitely point and extend the arch in the foot, so from the sickling I think it was most likely just bad technique. So if ur reading this rn you just learned a little bit more about rhythmic gymnastics 😌

Oh my God, Claudia, I can't believe you said Belarus is in Russia. I'd fear for my life..

You should react to some of the winning solos in Dance Moms!

I used to do rhythmic gymnastics and its really good to see a video about it as it isn't very popular in Australia. I did ballet and dance lessons to help me improve in my gymnastics 😊

I’m so bad at rhythmics I did as a child and then took it as conditioning for ballet. Best work outs ever and amazing for ballet flexibility and strength. I love watching you react as although I never competed I love rhythmics it’s so fun. Most of the gymnasts take a bunch of ballet but they are still quite different. I wish more ballet dancers did rhythmics though it always really helped my dancing.

Hiiiii Claudia ✨

it's pronounced - Bella - a - ruse lol lol lol loved the reaction

The russian Averina twins are basically the best rhythmic gymnasts in every category in the world... they are incredible. Also they both like different categories the best and it’s really cool to see each twin doing the ones they love the most.

I was a rhythmic gymnastic, obviously I wasn’t professional, but I started using the ball only. And now I’m a ballet dancer.

I’m just a regular gymnast and I wish we got to wear a cool Leo

I’ve done gymnastics before and now I’m a dancer! Not very flexible tho lol

I am always so intrigued by rythmic gymnastics especially ribbons and hoops. Like what?! Go girls

I did rhythmic gym and did team GB training in their youth squad for three years - now I'm a ballerina who goes to royal :D Gym defo helped me go into ballet so late... I just had 0 turnout!

😍😍😍

"She looks really similar to the other girl". Yes, Claudia, that is how twins work. Rhythmic gymnastics training is heavily ballet influenced, lots of time at the barre. But at the same time, yeah they're much less particular about alignment and turnout.

i used to do gymnastics when i was really young, but quit when i was about 7 or 8, so i never really witnessed what the ‘older kids’ were doing. now i know this is not ‘normal’ gymnastics, but it’s crazy that so many dancers used to do this sport.

yaaassss is extreme, other level, is beautiful

Claudia , that girl you said look similar to that next girl, they are actrally twins :) i was confused too

Make a video "i try rytmic gim" Xd

Claudia: You must be really talented to not drop those Me: Drops phone on my face

I loved how she said Belarus as "bel-lar-russ" made me laugh.

I would love to see you react to calisthenics! 😁 as in the Australian dance sport not the workout 😉 so much talent in calisthenics it’s definitely worth a watch
