Los Angeles School of Gymnastics Backhand Spring Clinic

The Los Angeles School of Gymnastics will open its doors to aspiring Olympians and enthusiasts alike for the opportunity to receive instruction from gymnastics legend Yefim Furman and US Olympian Tasha Schwikert Warren.

Known to many as the “Godfather of gymnastics†, internationally acclaimed Coach Yefim Furman is an Olympic Medalist, achieved at the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics. He has trained and prepared many celebrities for arduous movie roles, including Jada Pinkett-Smith for The Matrix Reloaded, and Drew Barrymore for Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.

“We are so honored to work with amazing professionals such as Tasha and Yefim. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those attending the event,†says Tanya Berenson, director of the Los Angeles School of Gymnastics. “All ages and levels are welcome.â€

The school’s annual Backhand Spring Clinic will take place on Sunday, June 5th from 1–3pm. In addition to the clinic, the school will offer many other summer activities including the Jamba Juice sponsored Academy Meet & Expo on Sunday, May 15th and the summer gymnastics day camp from June 20 to September 2, 2011.
