Currently, rhythmic gymnastics is one of the most popular sports among girls. This sport attracts a lot of girls with its grace, elegance and expressiveness of movements. The purpose of the article is to study the history of the appearance of this sport and its origin in the Olympic Games. The origins of gymnastics appeared in ancient Greece for the development of strength. The revival of gymnastics began in the XIX century, it went a long way from the development of teaching methods and the combination of dance, music and flexibility to the opening of the first gymnastics school. Rhythmic gymnastics, in order to establish itself as a separate sport, had to show itself as an independent full-fledged unit in sports not at one competition, and Russian gymnasts repeatedly proved their devotion to sports. After all, the contribution to this sport was made not only by such key figures as Jean Georges Noverre, but also by coaches and their athletes, who will continue to develop to this day, improving the complexity of elements and expressiveness of performances
