"To be at this festival is just a great happiness!" Gymnasts’ moms talk about the children’s New Year party in the Academy

The New Year party, where preschoolers from free early development groups and adult gymnasts took part, was held in the competition hall of the Academy.

Luiza Brazhnikova, who came to the party with her younger and elder daughters, shared her impressions.

"You know, we passed the selection, she was still two years and 11 months old, and so we studied there for literally three months. 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!"

 Moms of gymnasts Mariam Finalova and Evgenia Gamanova told us about preparations for the performance and greeted everybody with the coming New Year.

"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."
