Alesya Makh, a teacher at Alla Dukhova’s TODES school-studio, told us about training sessions during the training camp in the Academy

The first dancing training session was held as part of the training camp in the Academy. It was conducted by Alesya Makh, the teacher at Alla Dukhova’s TODES school-studio.

The professional shared with us the goals and the plan for the training session with gymnasts after the end of the workout:

"As a result, we’ll create productions. Most likely, there will be four different ones. Perhaps, I will give them completely different styles, so that they can see the examples by others. Perhaps, they will dance all of these combinations. As a result, they will have small combinations, which they will show at the final concert. We will try absolutely different things with them every lesson. Now in the hall you can immediately see those who have at least a little bit of experience with dancing, with some choreography, and those who have not. So, for the girls who have never danced at all, of course, it is very difficult for them here, but they still see it. Gymnasts have advantages, of course: fluid body movements, flexibility, these are some elements that ordinary, average dancers cannot do."

The training camp in the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy will last until January 26.
