2012 LA Lights is scheduled for February 3-5, 2012 starting at 8am to 8pm at the Pilibos Center (1615 North Alexandria Avenue) in Los Angeles as more than 200 top gymnasts from USA, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Armenia, China and Canada will participate in this event.
Some of the top gymnasts include Liubov Charkashyna (who will compete in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games and was the 2011 World Championship Bronze Medalist), Melitina Staniouta (who will compete in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games and ranks #6 on the 2011 World Champion List), Aliaksandra Narkevich (who will compete in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games and ranks #14 on the 2011 World Champion List), Anna Bessonova (2008 Olympic Bronze Medalist) as well as LASG gymnasts Heather Chan, Shirley Gon-Gibbs and Elizabeth Petrosyan (2011 VISA USA National Qualifiers).

"Given this is an Olympic year, all gymnasts are gearing up for their top performances to date."
LA Lights 2012 is the first and only event in the U.S. and one of only 12 in the gymnastics global community to be approved by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG).

After years of dedication, coach Svirsky pioneered rhythmic gymnastics into the United States through the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles and Svirsky was acclaimed as the first Olympic coach for the sport.
