Why I am a coach — storytelling from Claire Falkov-Gomer

Since I became an assistant coach, everything started falling into place, and with each passing year, my passion for it has grown stronger. At the age of 14, I became an assistant trainer to my main coach.
‍
At 16, I had my own group, driven by my love for this beautiful and unique sport. Rhythmic gymnastics is underrepresented, especially in Cleveland. As a former gymnast who faced resource limitations, I promised myself to create better circumstances for my students.

In the enchanting world of rhythmic gymnastics, children find the ideal balance between Playfulness and Progress.

- As they embark on their journey of growth and achievement, this sport becomes a vital companion.
- It allows them to infuse their practice sessions with a delightful dash of fun while keeping the thrill of challenge and productive exercises alive.

Rhythmic gymnastics isn’t just about mastering routines; it’s a gateway to embracing the joy of learning and the sweet satisfaction of progress.

At Cle School, we're not just a team; we're a rhythmic gymnastics family!

Our incredible students, with their unwavering passion and tireless effort, bring the magic to every performance. From countless hours of practice to those breathtaking routines, they shine bright in the world of gymnastics.

But behind every successful gymnast is a mentor, a guide, and a friend. Our trainers are the driving force, the ones who shape dreams into reality.

Their expertise, dedication, and encouragement are the secret ingredients to our success.

Together, we leap higher, twirl faster, and achieve the impossible.

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.

Our Story - Claire Falkov-Gomer

As a young girl, Claire discovered rhythmic gymnastics on YouTube and immediately told her mom, “That’s what I want to do.” She went on to train and compete , but with limited resources and no professional school dedicated to Rhythmic Gymnastics in Cleveland, her competitive career ended at just 13 years old. At 14, she began assistant coaching, determined to give other children the opportunities she didn’t have.
‍
From that determination, the Cleveland School of Rhythmic Arts (CleSORA) was born. Today, CleSORA has grown into a school that not only develops athletes from their very first steps in the sport through advanced competitive levels, but also supports the community through a nonprofit branch dedicated to making 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, flexibility, 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 creates an environment where athletes feel encouraged, challenged, and inspired. This commitment to excellence in coaching makes our school unique and helps 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:

"Embrace the beauty of rhythmic gymnastics and the power of teamwork!
Choosing rhythmic gymnastics isn't just about mastering elegant routines; it's about joining a supportive family of athletes and dedicated coaches."

"In our world, we don't just leap, twirl, and dance.
We inspire each other, lift each other up, and celebrate every triumph, no matter how small. We know the value of dedication, discipline, and teamwork."

"With professional trainers guiding us, every step is a leap towards excellence. They fuel our passion, perfect our moves, and share their wisdom. Together, we create artistry on the floor, and every routine is a masterpiece in the making."
