My Story - Claire Falkov-Gomer
"As a young girl, I discovered rhythmic gymnastics on YouTube and immediately told my mom, “That’s what I want to do.” I went on to train and compete, but with no professional school dedicated to rhythmic gymnastics in Cleveland, it became difficult for me to advance in my competitive career. At 14, I began assistant coaching, determined to give other children the opportunities I didn’t have. From that determination, the Cleveland School of Rhythmic Arts, CleSORA, was born.
Today, CleSORA has grown into a school that develops athletes from their very first steps in the sport through advanced competitive levels and supports the community through a nonprofit branch that makes rhythmic gymnastics more accessible for everyone."
Our Team
At the Cleveland School of Rhythmic Arts, our team of dedicated professionals brings both international and local experience to every class. From rhythmic gymnastics specialists to ballet and dance instructors, each coach shares a passion for helping children grow in skill, confidence, and artistry.
We believe that success in rhythmic gymnastics begins with professional coaching and high-quality instruction. Our coaches focus on technique, strength, creativity, discipline, and teamwork. Through consistent, structured, and supportive teaching, we guide every child from toddlers exploring movement to advanced gymnasts preparing for competition to reach their full potential.
The CleSORA team is commited to excellence in coaching and to help our gymnasts thrive both in and out of the gym.
Our Cause
CleSORA was founded with the belief that every child should have the opportunity to experience rhythmic gymnastics, no matter their background or circumstances.
While our school operates as a professional training center, we also developed a nonprofit branch to expand access and provide support for families who might not otherwise be able to participate.
Through this branch, we focus on making rhythmic gymnastics more affordable, building community programs, and creating opportunities for sponsorships and partnerships. Our cause is about more than just teaching a sport. It is about opening doors and giving every child the chance to discover their potential through movement, discipline, and creativity.
Our training process is carefully designed to unlock your full potential:
- Personalized Workouts: Tailored routines to enhance strength, flexibility, and technique.
- Skill Development: From mastering apparatus handling to creating stunning routines.
- Goal-Oriented Training: We focus on your aspirations, whether it's competing or simply enjoying the sport.
