Rhythmic gymnastics grew out of the ideas of I.G. Noverre (1722-1810), Francois Delsart (1811-1871), and R. Bode (1881), who all believed in movement expression, where one used dance to express oneself and exercise various body parts.

In 1814, Per Henrik Ling developed rhythmic gymnastics out of a Swedish system of free exercise. In 1837 Catherine Beecher developed a program where women would use this free exercise with music. In 1864, Dio Lewis extended this exercise by the use of hoops or clubs. In 1906 rhythmic gymnastics was introduced to North America. Women were allowed into the Olympic Games in 1928.
