Making body tense and relaxed with the help of exercises from Sania Glyzina

Young gymnast Ulyana shared with Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva her dream of joining the Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy at the Spartakiad of the Peoples of Russia in Yekaterinburg. Shortly after, Academy Director Ekaterina Dyukova contacted Ulyana and her mother, Sofya Melikovna.

The Olympic champion asked to pay closer attention to the execution of the elements.

Alina Kabaeva asked Agnia Kraeva, Maria Turovets, and Arina Latysheva from Moscow to show what they can already do and gave them important advice on teamwork.

During one of the training sessions, the athletes prepared a routine to Pyotr Tchaikovsky's music from the Swan Lake ballet. Let's take a look at their result!

The Olympic champion met with the individual gymnasts of the Academy. Let’s take a look at what Alina Kabaeva and Honored Coach of Russia Veronika Shatkova discussed with the athletes.

The Olympic champion once trained under the specialist’s guidance. She now teaches choreography to the Academy students.

Children from the early development groups and learning and development coordinator Tatiana Kalestratova congratulated teachers Alina Gafiyatullina and Natalia Lobko on the start of the new academic year.

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.
