She performed very well, she really loves gymnastics, so she performed with pleasure. Overall, they really like it, I think for the kids it’s some kind of holiday, magic. Happy New Year to all the gymnasts! To Alina Kabaeva, first and foremost! She created an atmosphere like this, it’s just something incredible, to be at this celebration is just a great happiness!"</blockquote>&nbsp;Moms of gymnasts Mariam Finalova and Evgenia Gamanova told us about preparations for the performance and greeted everybody with the coming New Year.<blockquote>"It’s large-scale, incredible, very colorful! This isn’t our first celebration, but each time it shows new and fresh discoveries. The children are delighted! How they all prepared, worried about learning the dance, constantly rehearsed it. At home, we all already knew this dance! They tried hard, everyone performed beautifully, colorfully, brightly! We are delighted! We congratulate all parents, children, coaches, and the entire Sky Grace team on the upcoming New Year! We want to wish lots of happiness, patience, love and the happiest moments this year."</blockquote>

What does the New Year mean for Academy preschoolers? The young gymnasts tell us themselves

Young gymnasts from free early development groups will perform at the Academy's New Year's party.Teacher Anna Pukhova told us what the performance that young gymnasts from free early development groups will present at the Academy's New Year's party will be like.&nbsp;<blockquote>“Both the main melody and a waltz-style melody, a polka-style melody and jazz improvisation are performed. And depending on the style of music, the girls must perform certain exercises and tasks. In the first case, it is the beautiful sound of a triangle, in the second, it is bells, for a waltz, of course, the beautiful, rolling sounds of a xylophone, and for a dance boogie-woogie, it is noise and percussion instruments. Everything ends with a beautiful fairy-tale theme, "Little Fir Tree Is Cold in Winter,” Anna said.</blockquote>She explained the main goal of rhythmic classes for young athletes.<blockquote>"Our main task in rhythm classes is to learn to feel the meter, the rhythm of music. In classes, we develop it as beats on the strong, on the first beat. Our performance is the fruit of rehearsals in December. Our girls show work with noisy instruments, work with percussion instruments and with instruments of non-fixed and fixed pitch," the teacher explained.</blockquote>She noted that rhythm helps young gymnasts perform exercises more musically in the future.<blockquote>"The extent to which they hear the pulsation of music determines how clearly they perform exercises to music. Our subject helps girls feel the musical rhythm, not just the rhythm - we clapped our hands, we stomp our feet - but how it sounds inside the music. All our classes are aimed at what we listen to, at what tempo the music sounds, what movements we can make to it, how natural they will be," she said.</blockquote>The Academy held a rehearsal for the New Year's party with the participation of preschool girls, during which their orchestra performed the melody "Little Fir Tree Is Cold in Winter".

What will the preschool orchestra's performance be like at the Academy's New Year's party? Teacher Anna Pukhova tells us

A joint session of parents and young judokas was held at the Martial Arts Academy.Vladimir Romanovich, Dima's dad, said that training sessions like that are enjoyed not only by young athletes, but also by their adults.<blockquote>"Impressions are very positive. I liked it so much; it is cool that we have such activities. In actual fact, this is so uniting. And the child likes it, and the parents also. Simply excellent, many thanks! He really wants to go to training sessions, asking again and again, when we will go to the workout. His first question almost every day is, “Is there a workout today or not?’ He goes with pleasure; emotions are so cool," he said.&nbsp;</blockquote>Elizaveta Nazarova, Demid’s mother, noted that joint activities bring them closer together.&nbsp;<blockquote>"The workout was excellent. In general, joint workouts with parents definitely bring us closer to each other; they certainly benefit our health. We have experienced today the full weight of these workouts, how they go for children. We will be glad if such training sessions are held more frequently. He has become more disciplined. He goes to these training sessions with great pleasure; he always goes back in an excellent mood," she said.</blockquote>&nbsp;And Zaven Osipov, Robert’s father, emphasized that judo classes have become a significant part of the child’s life.<blockquote>&nbsp;"We saw how children were practicing, what new techniques they have, what are the new exercises for development. We liked it very much and Robert was very-very active; he practiced them with pleasure.While he had only cartoons and the kindergarten earlier, then he says ‘judo’ about 50 times per day, ‘Will we go for judo tomorrow?. Are we going for judo tomorrow?’ His physical activity has increased strongly and he is fond of practicing here," Zaven said.</blockquote>
