Choreography in sports has long been established as a means of specialized training of athletes, helping to make the composition more vivid, original, expressive, spectacular. The term “choreography” generalizes both the art of dance creation and all kinds of dance and mimic art. Among the many forms of aesthetic education of the younger generation, choreography occupies a special place. Dance classes teach not only to understand and create beauty, they develop creative thinking and imagination, give a harmonious plastic development. At present, with the appearance and development of fitness in our country and abroad, a large number of modern dance trends have emerged that attract teenagers. One of such trends is hip-hop. Hip-hop dancing is a unifying term for several dance styles and directions. Most of the coaches we interviewed note that teenage female gymnasts are not very enthusiastic about classical choreography classes, and this in turn is confirmed by the opinion of the female gymnasts themselves. As well as 90 % of our coaches and choreographers do not deny the fact that the use of dance elements in the style of hip-hop in the choreographic training of young female gymnasts, will significantly increase interest in choreography and expand the volume of their motor skills. Adolescence is usually characterized as a “critical period of childhood”. Adolescents are characterized by increased criticality, and in this regard, there may be a sense of anxiety, increased excitability, reduced self-esteem. It becomes extremely important to stand out from the crowd, to express their individuality and the most common way to do this is in different types of modern dance.
