Did you know that Rhythmic Gymnastics might be the perfect activity for your child?
The Rhythmic Gymnastics Classes for Children Aged 4 to 5 in Coimbra are an excellent way to support motor development, coordination, and body expression during a crucial stage of early childhood growth.

At this age, children are especially receptive to learning through movement. With guidance from experienced instructors, they engage in playful exercises using props such as ribbons and balls, promoting agility, balance, and flexibility, while also building discipline, self-esteem, and concentration.

The classes are adapted to the abilities and needs of this age group and also provide a valuable space for social development. By interacting with peers, children learn to share, cooperate, and follow rules, laying the foundation for teamwork and healthy relationships.

This activity combines the benefits of physical exercise with the joy of music and dance, making the learning process fun, dynamic, and educational.

Recommended for preschool-aged children, with or without previous experience in gymnastics.
