Behind the Routines: Dominic Zito Visits Pinnacle for Choreography

At Pinnacle Gymnastics, the floor isn’t just a space for tumbling passes and leaps—it’s a stage for storytelling, athleticism, and artistry to merge into a captivating performance. Guided by a philosophy that embraces individuality and excellence, Pinnacle Gymnastics has redefined the approach to floor choreography, creating routines that are as memorable as they are technically precise.


Collaborating with World-Class Talent: Dominic Zito


One of the standout features of Pinnacle’s floor program is its collaboration with the renowned choreographer Dominic Zito. With a career that includes crafting routines for Olympic champions and national team members, Zito brings a level of expertise and creativity that elevates every gymnast’s performance. His ability to tailor choreography to highlight an athlete’s unique strengths and personality ensures that each routine stands out in its own right.


Zito’s process involves understanding the gymnast’s style, strengths, and aspirations. He carefully incorporates these elements into routines that not only meet the sport’s rigorous technical standards but also resonate with judges and audiences alike. His artistry transforms each performance into a masterful display of skill and expression.


The Magic of Custom-Cut Music


Music sets the tone for a gymnast’s routine, and at Pinnacle Gymnastics, it’s treated as more than just a backdrop. Each gymnast’s routine features custom-cut music pieces, meticulously crafted to enhance the choreography and flow seamlessly with the performance.

The selection process is collaborative, involving input from the gymnast, coach, and choreographer to find a piece that resonates emotionally and complements the routine’s structure. Once chosen, the music is edited to emphasize key moments, align with choreography shifts, and create a dynamic experience that captivates from the first beat to the last.


Showcasing Individuality


At Pinnacle Gymnastics, no two routines are alike. The team’s commitment to showcasing individuality ensures that each gymnast’s routine becomes a reflection of their personality and passion for the sport. Whether it’s a playful, energetic routine or a dramatic, emotive performance, the choreography is designed to let the athlete’s personality shine through.


This emphasis on individuality not only boosts gymnasts’ confidence but also makes their routines more memorable to judges and spectators. It’s this unique blend of athleticism and authenticity that sets Pinnacle Gymnastics apart from the competition.


A Pinnacle Performance


The combination of Dominic Zito’s world-class choreography, custom music tailored to perfection, and an unwavering focus on individuality creates routines that are nothing short of spectacular. At Pinnacle Gymnastics, the floor isn’t just a place to perform—it’s a canvas where athletes can express their artistry and passion for the sport.


Whether you’re a gymnast, a coach, or an enthusiast, Pinnacle Gymnastics’ approach to floor choreography offers inspiration and insight into the art and precision that go into creating unforgettable routines. By celebrating individuality and fostering excellence, Pinnacle continues to set the standard for floor performances in gymnastics.
