Training leotards for rhythmic gymnastics

Leotards for daily training: sleeveless, short- and long-sleeved models from our Alle Tanzen label, Grand Prix and Tuloni, and a thermal leotard for cold halls. Training leotards are simple and close-fitting, so the coach can see lines and posture.

Size and fit

Choose the size by height, not by age: the leotard should fit closely without cutting in at the legs or shoulders and without riding up during jumps and stretches. How to measure: Leotard sizing for rhythmic gymnastics. Gymnastics jersey stretches more and keeps its shape better than ordinary sportswear – see Gymnastics jersey vs mass-market sportswear.

Long sleeves or sleeveless?

Long sleeves keep the arms warm and show the arm line; sleeveless models give the most freedom in summer and for apparatus work. During warm-up, many gymnasts wear leggings or warm-up wear over the leotard.

Competition

For competitions there are competition leotards and unitards; whether a leotard or a unitard suits the routine better is discussed in Leotards vs. unitards.
