We are the largest school on the east coast, but in our hearts, we are still a tight-knit family business. Our staff are like family, our clients are like friends.
We care about personal connection, and strive to build real community.
Smaranda an MIT Business School graduate, left her consulting career in 2001 with the crazy idea to start a rhythmic gymnastics school in order to offer the best training conditions to her daughter Ada. In 2002, Rhythmic Dreams was born, with 10 young eager gymnasts and one coach.
…years passed…
Ada made the USA National Team in 2006, and later on became the head coach at Boston Rhythmic Watertown, where she led a team of over 30 gymnasts to many beautiful results at local, regional and national level.
Since their inception, Boston Rhythmic and Rhythmic Dreams have grown to be the largest and most innovative rhythmic gymnastics schools on the east coast. Serving hundreads of young aspiring gymnasts every year in state-of-the-art facilites, Boston Rhythmic has contributed significantly to the growth of the sport in the Boston area and in the US.
