Outshine offers rhythmic gymnastic classes in collaboration with a highly trained professional rhythmic gymnast, Elina Fomina.
Elina Fomina
I started rhythmic gymnastics at the age of 3 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. By 15, I had competed in numerous national competitions. In 2018, I joined the National Team of Ukraine in Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (AGG) and then became the team captain. We competed nationally and internationally, winning several championships and earned the title of Master of Sports. In 2019, my team and I placed 4th at the AGG World Championships in Spain. I coaching young gymnasts and lead stretch classes. I’m a fourth-year student at Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture, majoring in “Gymnastics and Fitness Coach”. In 2023, I joined Champion Rhythmics as a coach. I love sharing my knowledge and passion for gymnastics with young athletes, and I strive to bring out the best in each of them.

Class Descriptions
Little Stars (2.5-4 years)
This class is suitable for the youngest children who are just starting their journey and trying out sports. Here I will help children to properly develop their body and health. They will learn from childhood to be hard workers, but also to develop flexibility, coordination and strength through play.
Pre-team (4-6 years)
This group is suitable for children who would like to try themselves in competitions in the future. We teach the elements: balance, turns, jumps and teach an exercise that contains all the required elements for this age. Children also work with a skipping rope, a ball and a hoop.
Level 3 ( 5-7 years)
This class is suitable for girls who have already been doing gymnastics for more than 1 year. They train according to the USA GYMNASTICS program and perform in competitions.
Recreational group( 7 years+)
This is a fun class for little ones to learn the basics of rhythmic gymnastics, including balances, jumps, and simple acrobatics. Many exercises are presented as games, making the class enjoyable while they learn. With music and dancing with ribbons, everything becomes more fun! Handling rhythmic apparatuses like rope, ball, and hoop helps improve hand-eye coordination, while simple stretching exercises lay the foundation for developing flexibility and balance.
