Aurora Illusions Gymnastics is a competitive gymnastics team for girls from the age of 7-18 years old.  Run through the City of Aurora Gymnastics Program, we compete in the C.A.R.A. (Colorado Association of Recreational Athletics) Gymnastics league and have the following gymnastics levels:

Compulsory 4 - C4 Gymnasts are the entry level competitor, good body awareness helps with success in this level as they learn left and right cartwheels, a round-off, back walkover, back extension and other skills to challenge them. Compulsory 5 - C5 is the second compulsory level and skills get a bit more difficult as well as more fun to do.  They perform kips, front and back handsprings, as well as many dance sequences.  This level is an important level in any gymnasts development as they learn several building block skills they will use as long as they are in the sport.

Optionals - Optionals is more what you see on TV where every girl has different music and a different routine.  The girls are broken into 4 categories in Optionals, 1-4 with Optional 4 being the highest level.  This is where gymnastics gets really fun as the girls perform flips and twists as well as show the grace of the sport.
