"I am very happy to return here!" Isabella Rojas talks about participation in the Alina 2024 Festival

The Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy has become the second home for Cuban gymnast Isabella Rojas. She has come to us this time to take part in the Alina Festival again.

The gymnast told us about routines where she participates this year.

"This is my second time participating in the festival. I really like how everything is organized and the performances themselves too. I am participating in a performance where I have to show my best elements, and where little girls from the Academy also take part. The routine in which I participate begins with the performance of little girls, who add a joyful character to the performance. They are very beautiful! Then we come out with the items. Each girl does part of her program, and then we all go out together. It's very beautiful and fun."

Isabella also noted hearty welcome awaiting her in the Academy.

"Last time I was part of the performance dedicated to spring. We had ‘Flowers’ and I performed with Gretel. I am very happy to return here. We were greeted very warmly, as always. I was very happy. I met people I knew before, and it made me very happy. I have already been to the Academy several times for training camps. I also had the opportunity to participate in competitions and this festival, and visit China. Exceptional people work here, teachers, choreographers. I'm happy to be here. As I always say, this is my second family. I really like it!"

The Alina 2024 Festival was held in the Academy in Sochi on March 2, and the Minsk Arena will be its host on March 5.
