RITMIKA -
Esto 2000
"ESTO 2000"
A ten day festival of Estonians from around the world held every 4 years,
this year gathering in Toronto.
Ritmika's elite performing groups and competitors
performed at the opening ceremonies
at Ontario Place on July 8th; also
on stage at a rhythmic gymnastics performance at MacMillan Theatre
on July 11th,
together with Malmoflikorna girls from Sweden and Kalev gymnasts;
and at the special "Lights Festival" performance at the
Ontario Place Molson Ampitheatre on July 14th,
an evening of gymnastics and Estonian folk-dancing.
Ritmika's own part of the show where our young gymnasts
performed with our elite groups was very warmly and loudly applauded
by the public, and comments after the show were wonderful -
exceptional choreography very appropriate for the Estonian Days.
Our gymnasts really enjoyed the events and performances.
