ORGC Gymnastrada 2019

June 16, 2019

Today at Ashbury College there was the ORGC’s annual gymnastrada. Many gymnasts prepare their individual and group routines to perform on this day.

This year I had two group routines: One made by my coach Iana, and the other choreographed by my coach Keiko.

My first routine was a free routine titled La vie d’Amélie. It was the routine right before the 10 minute intermission. We all wore black shirt and shorts and a red long skirt.

The second routine was an apparatus routine. I did ribbon, however others did hoop, clubs, and rope. We wore our own costumes for this routine.

Then at the end there was a group photo with all the coaches and gymnasts. We all received roses and bouquets.

Ottawa Rhythmic Gymnastics Club 2017 Summer Gymnestraeda

June 25, 2017

Today at gymnastics, we had a performance at out club. I had four routines to perform. The first one was called Enchanted Forest, which was made by my Friday coach, Iana. The second one was a duo, with my sister Rose. The last performance before the 15 minute intermission was a dance choreographed by Keiko, my Sunday coach. It consists of three apparatuses. Ball, which I chose to do, ribbon, and clubs. I did ball with Jaqueline, who used to be a provincial, Eva, Helen, little Alison (we have two Alisons in our club, and both of them are little) and Claire. It was called Columbus’s Egg (XD), and it is one of my favourite routines.

During the intermission, I bought myself a cupcake. It had strawberry icing on top even though it was white. I found it very sweet and tasty. But this year, our club didn’t have the silent auction. Last year I liked the emoji keychains that they auction off.

My last routine, which was performed second last, was called Circle of Life. It is my other favourite routine. Of course, it’s the song from Lion King. The routine was originally Mikayla’s, but people liked it so much, the provincial coach, Olga, decided to make it into a group routine for all the Competitive Groups. They really liked the dance line that was in the routine. It was funky but cool. Whenever Mikayla performs it, everyone does the dance line with her. We wore these Hawaiian skirts, with a lei that circled around our bun.

After the show, every gymnast went on the carpet and we took a group photo. During that time, they handed out roses, and presented Sing, our head coach, and Keiko a photo of the club and the frame had notes and signatures that gymnasts made. But what was funny was that after the show, Keiko’s broke so they had to make another one.

Then we went home. 🙂
