Gymnastics Classes at the Youth Talent School

Gymnastics is the essential activity in a life of a child. Gymnastics develops all muscle groups, coordination, agility, posture, discipline and is the fundamental part of any sport.

	Our gymnastics program offers training for ages 2 -13 following by gymnastic fitness for older ages. The various class levels are tailored to the age and physical ability of the students. Our gymnastics classes prepare students up to and including the level IV. Most of the students attending our gymnastics program make the team. Our head coach, Alexandra Mishenina, is a professional gymnast and a medalist from Ukraine. She uses her unique talent and world-famous Russian/Ukrainian gymnastic training and skills to achieve exceptional results with her students. Alexandra was recently featured in an article in the Swampscott/Marblehead reporter.
From the introductory classes for the youngest to the advanced classes for the older gymnasts our program helps children to grow physically fit and agile, maintain good posture and live a healthy life style. Gymnastics is essential for children practicing any sport, from figure skating to martial arts, from skiing to soccer.
	The following gymnastic skills will be taught by the time children reach the advanced level:    backbends, handstands, splits, cartwheel, back walkover, front walkover, front summer salt, back summer salt, tumbling, backhand spring, round off, front/back hand spring, front flip, back flip, with some elements performed on the beam and other gymnastic equipment.
