Every great floor routine includes a moment where the gymnast transitions down to the floor—and making that moment stand out is key to creating a memorable, high-scoring performance.

In this video, Christina Gambino, professional gymnastics choreographer and NAWGJ Judge, shares 43 creative ways to get down to the floor. Whether you’re a coach, choreographer, or gymnast, this video is packed with inspiration to help you add variety and artistry to your routines.

Why It Matters:

The floor work section is more than just a requirement—it’s an opportunity to showcase control, expression, and creativity. Judges notice originality, and a unique transition to the floor can set your routine apart.

About the Video:

Christina has been asked countless times about her favorite ways to transition to the floor, so she created this visual guide to share with the gymnastics community. From elegant rolls to sharp drops, the video is full of fresh ideas to spark your choreography. And while she demonstrates 43 moves in this video, there are so many more ways to innovate.
