Tinies participate and compete in 4 items during the year (sometimes with an extra item just for the concert). Tinies perform the following:
Free Exercises:
A team of 8 or more pupils perform a series of strong movements involving flexibility, control, and uniformity of rhythm. Routines test the pupils’ stamina, flexibility and timing. The pupils operate with ‘free arms’ – that is, holding no apparatus.
Rod Exercises:
Eight or more pupils perform similar movements to Free exercises, with the added complication of an apparatus in their hands, that is, a long rod which is manipulated constantly through the routine.
Folk/Character Dance:
National or character dances from all over the world are performed and interpreted theatrically. Pupils display steps in unison, while also conveying national character, agility and vitality.
Action Song:
Team members join together to present a musical item comprising singing, acting and choreographed movement. Young participants especially enjoy this item.
