Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva talks with trampoliners before the festival in Sirius

Alesya launched her new year especially brightly, since shortly after her birthday, she won gold in the all-around at the 13th Summer Student Spartakiad Final.

Under Veronika’s guidance, our gymnasts learn dance routines. Here, new movements, images, and ideas are born, helping the athletes develop their artistry, connect with the music, and become even more expressive.

They also received gifts from Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva.

Children and parents shared their impressions of the festive program: Anastasia Vasyukova and Amir Mageramov, Alisa and Olesya Troinovich, Anastasia Nekrasova and Pelageya Penskikh, as well as Mia Gadzhimuradova’s mother, Irina.

The routine was based on science and creativity: the gymnasts performed with balls that became the visual embodiment of atoms. The routine was choreographed by Academy coaches Daria Pirogova and Olesya Kovaleva.

The Academy's gymnasts are also preparing for the show. This time, they won't just be working on routines; they'll be creating an overall image and becoming part of a larger production. The girls shared how participating in the festival differs from preparing a regular program and what they expect from the upcoming performance.

It is led by choreographers Irina Zenovka and Aleksandr Mogilev. Together with a big team of participants, they are building the choreography, discovering interesting solutions, and achieving the unison of every single movement.

The youngest gymnasts continue to arrive for the selection to the free early development groups at the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy. Yulia Shanina, Maria’s mom, Maria Rakesheva, Anna Nefantova’s mom, and Ekaterina Izmestieva, Margarita’s mom, shared why they chose the Academy exactly for their daughters and how they were inspired by the athletic journey of Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva.

After the first day of the tournament, our gymnast took first place in the preliminary qualification.

The gymnast performed with the ball and presented a new hoop routine, choreographed by Evgeniya Kanaeva. Take a look at some excerpts.
