Abstract
The author presents an approach that would integrate Laban’s movement analysis concepts to the content of gymnastics. For so, the author outlines an approach to gymnastics that represents a distillation of gymnastics rarefaction into a few themes or movement patterns from whence most gymnastics skills evolve. This approach provides teachers with easy-to-understand conceptual overview of the entire area of gymnastics, and de-emphasizes the restrictive nature of apparatus-specific skill learning, and allows the child ample explorarion and creative possibilities. This point of view provides a sensible bridge between movement education and traditional gymnastics, and allows teachers to build logical and contemporary curriculum.
