Teams from the Kanata Rhythmic Gymnastics Club participated in the our very own Kanata Showcase Aesthetic Group Gymnastics Competition held June 04, 2006 at Bridlewood Elementary School. A total of 40 gymnasts represented the Kanata RSG Club at this event and it was the first ever competition for three (3) of KRSG's Aesthetic Groups.

Aesthetic Group Gymnastics is a form of Rhythmic Gymnastics, where at the Interclub level teams perform two routines in a competition. The Free routine is a choreographed set of movements including swings, leaps, balances and pivots. In the Creative routine imaginations go wild as the teams perform a routine set to a theme with appropriate music and costumes. This years themes include:
Level 1 -- Cartoons
Level 2 -- Movie Themes
Level 3 -- Ethnic Themes
Level 4 -- Dance Styles (i.e.: flamingo, danse oriental, salsa)
Level 5 -- All Things French

Competing in Level 1, the Kanata Rising Stars finished 2nd overall with a total score of 20.450 after finishing 1st with their Creative 1 routine and 3rd with their Free routine. Competing in their first competition, the Kanata Energy finished 3rd Overall, with a total score of 20.325 after placing 2nd with their Creative 1 routine and 4th with their Free routine.

KRSG's pre-competitive groups also competed for the first time. They competed courageously in Level 1 with just one routine. The Kanata Kittens, KRSG's recreational performance group, finished 1st in their Creative 2 routine with a total score of 6.400 and the Kanata Butterflies finished 2nd overall with a total score of 5.500.
