Carolyn Au Yong's thoughts,
'It is most rewarding to see students excel in the sport under our coaches guidance. I am truly blessed for having a career which I am without a doubt 100% passionate about. It is such a joy and pleasure to be working with kids and to have parents by their child's side every step of the way. An even greater honor for me to be given the opportunity to impact the child's life. I must say being passionate about your work, makes the job a whole lot easier.'

ABOUT RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS
Rhythmic Gymnastics is one of the most beautiful and precise Olympic Sports. It is a combination of the dynamics and flexibility of gymnastics, the technical knowledge of ballet, and the self-expression and rhythm of modern dance. Unmatched for its elegant, expressive, precise and graceful movements, Rhythmic Gymnastics is choreographed to music and accompanied by colourful hoops, balls, ropes, ribbons, and clubs. The benefits of Rhythmic Gymnastics to girls in their formative years include physical fitness, self-discipline, positive self-esteem, team skills, fun and a healthy lifestyle that the gymnast will sustain for life. Unlike Artistic Gymnastics, Rhythmic Gymnastics is currently performed in official competition by women only. Competitors use small pieces of hand apparatus - Rope, Hoop, Ball, Clubs and Ribbon as an extension of their bodies in routines always accompanied by music. The performance takes place on a carpeted mat that is 13m. It is slightly cushioned, but certainly not to the extent of a 'spring' floor used in Artistic Gymnastics. The question has often been asked of Rhythmic Gymnastics: Is it Dance? In reality it is a unique combination of the best of all three worlds. The essence of Rhythmic Gymnastics is self-expression. In the absence of extremely difficult acrobatic elements used in Artistic Gymnastics, the movements in Rhythmic Gymnastics are elegant, expressive, precise and graceful. Athletes require a full range of flexibility throughout the entire body in addition to explosive power. Both factors combined allow athletes to maintain perfect body alignment in leaps, balances, pirouettes and other intricate body movements. Athletes display coordination and cohesion in their use of the hand apparatus with rhythmic sensibility while taking risks with technical precision. The highest-level competitors take great pride in their original compositions as they appear to become one with the music and the apparatus.
