My name is Asya Vinokur and I am a former elite-level competitive national gymnast who has won numerous medals and titles throughout the tri-state area of New York and surrounding states. I am proud to say that I have taken home titles such as N.Y. State champion, and Regional champion, and consistently stayed in the top 3 rankings for years.I have also qualified for Eastern/Western Opens and National Championships, ranking in the top 15 nationwide, which earned me elite-level status. Additionally, I have competed in invitational competitions nationwide during my 12-year career as a professional rhythmic gymnast.I was born in Belarus and came to the United States with my family at the age of 4. Growing up, I was born into a family of national team athletes, with my mother Valentina being a master of sport in equestrian riding and my father Dmitry being a master of sport for wrestling. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, where I started practicing rhythmic gymnastics at the age of 6 and quickly progressed and excelled at the sport.Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me and Can’t wait to see you in class!Min 4/Max 10Scholarships available- Application linked below*No class on Monday, November 11th
