About

Hi! I'm Betty Okino, I'm an Olympic and World Medalist for the US in the sport of Artistic Gymnastics, a coach for our Elite Developmental Program and National Team and an international choreographer and clinician teaching dance and artistry. I also have recently launched what felt like it was missing in the sport, which is a dance program created specifically for gymnasts. Why does dance matter in gymnastics? Every single leap, jump and turn that we will ever do as a gymnast, has its foundation in dance. As someone who was never a power tumbler the way I found to boost my scores was though dance, and with the new changes to the code, anyone who isn't working on their artistry and dance is going to start seeing lower scores. The truth is...we can literally "dance our way to a higher score!"
