I always recommend Pilates. It was designed to supplement a dancer's training, without interfering. It is probably the best cross-training out there for a ballerina. Plus, there are lots of great videos available. Remember to stretch like you would during class, and do other exercises from your classes. ~J I don’t know enough about rhythmic gymnastics, so it’s hard to say.
