Schedule: Early Afternoon Performance Opening Ceremonies at 1:00 p.m.
A schedule of events will be circulated to participating clubs prior to Provincial Gymnaestrada. If you require practice time include this info in your registration package and we will try to accommodate requests. This would be a walk-on and placement type practice.
Evening Performance: We will not be having a second performance unless the number of registrations exceeds the approximate. three hour time allotment we have for the afternoon performances. Because this is a rest year for WG and Canadian Gymnaestrada teams, we feel that an evening performance may not be warranted.
Registration Fees: $35.00 per Gymnast (T-shirt included) (PayPal/credit card price is $36.05)
$20.00 per coach (T-shirt included) (PayPal/credit card price is $20.60)
T-Shirt Orders:
All registered participants (gymnasts and coaches) will receive a Provincial Gymnaestrada souvenir t-shirt. Clubs will receive their shirts upon arrival at the venue for distribution by coaches and team managers.
Guidelines Regarding Routines: To produce this event within a reasonable time frame, we are asking clubs follow these guidelines. Occasionally, there may be exceptions made. Please consult organizer with any questions.
Generally, the larger your group, then more time is allocated on the floor.
Because Gymnaestrada is intended for larger groups, please try to involve 6 or more gymnasts in your group minimum.
Time Guidelines:
– Time allocated based on total entry, set-up, performance and exit times:
Less than 10 gymnasts = 1.5-3 minutes performance time
11-20 gymnasts = 5-7 minutes performance time
21-30 gymnasts = 10-12 minutes performance time
31+ gymnasts = 15 minutes performance time
If you have prepared a longer routine, or have advanced gymnasts, or are preparing a routine for Canadian Gymnaestrada, please apply for an exemption.
Remember it is better to leave your audience wanting more than to have the audience wish you were giving them less. Little ones need less time to show what they know. A medley is a great way to showcase all your gymnasts at once leaving you time to hang out and watch the rest of the show. If you have two groups that do the same routine, put them together for Gymnaestrada if you can. It is better for the audience and the kids get an additional challenge of working with more people.
