Abstract: Using literature review, video analysis, mathematical statistics, the present paper analyzes the top eight teams’ choreography structure of formation and space, action type, and movement form in their 16 collaborative movements of "6 clubs+2 hoops" and "5 ribbons" in the 2015 National Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships with the aim of exploring the choreography shortcomings and proposing appropriate strategies so as to improve the overall choreography level of completions of rhythmic gymnastics group event in China. Results: The collaborative movements are the essence of rhythmic gymnastics group event under the New Cycle in China; The ability to use apparatus limits the diversity of collaborative movement formation,which in turn affects its diverse choreography effect; The simple physical trajectories hinder the display of the spatial forms of collaborative movements, which in turn affects its multiple levels of spatial effects; Lack of collaborative movement choreography types prevents the application of high technologies to the improvement of its artistic level. Original formations, unique types and perfect performance are the new factors to innovate the collaborative movement choreography of rhythmic gymnastics group event in China.
