Totally 80s, Totally Epic: A Look Back at Our Gym Jam Showcase
Neon, mixtapes, leg warmers, and flips? Yes, please!
The Totally 80s Gym Jam Showcase at Los Gatos Elite was nothing short of legendary. Across four action-packed sessions, our athletes took us on a radical ride through the raddest decade ever—complete with sky-high aerials, glittering gymnastics, and enough 80s tunes to fill a dance floor. But beyond the glitter and grooves, this showcase reminded us what makes our community truly elite: the spirit of our athletes, the love of our families, and the magic our coaches bring to life every single day.
🎤 A Showcase for the Ages
From the moment the first beat dropped and the first cartwheel landed, the energy in the gym was electric. Our youngest stars opened Session 1 with “Jump,” reminding us that big talent can come in small packages. By the time we reached the gravity-defying aerial silks of Sessions 2 and 3, and the powerful final bows of Session 4, it was clear—we weren’t just witnessing performances, we were celebrating progress, confidence, and pure joy.
Some of the unforgettable highlights included:
🌟 Junior Gym and FUNdamentals bringing the charm and sass with “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and “Jump.”
🎀 Show Team and Xcel Bronze living their best lives to “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”
🔥 Lioness and Compulsory Teams demonstrating fierce skill and unity with “9 to 5” and “Walking on Sunshine.”
🎪 Aerial Teams lighting up the silks and hoops with powerful routines like “Back in Black,” “You Spin Me Round,” and “Running Up That Hill.”
💫 Tiny Cheerleaders stealing hearts with their enormous energy in Session 3.
🎮 And of course, the Future Team gaming the system with a “Super Mario Bros” performance that was both nostalgic and inspiring.
💥 Special Call-Out: Girls Gymnastics 1 & 2 Rocked the Floor!
If there was a moment that truly packed the gym with applause, energy, and full-on 80s spirit, it was the Girls Gym 1 & 2 performance of “Let’s Groove”, choreographed by the ever-fabulous Coach Juliet.
This crew of nearly 20 powerhouse gymnasts lit up the stage with sass, synchronicity, and sheer sparkle. They owned every beat, filled every inch of the floor with movement, and brought a level of performance that had the whole crowd on their feet.
These athletes reminded us that when you blend confidence with community, and top it off with a boombox of energy, magic happens. They didn’t just perform—they owned the moment. ✨
Bravo, Girls Gym 1 & 2—you showed up, showed out, and GROOVED.
👏 Coaches: The Magic Behind the Music
What made this event truly spectacular? The passion, creativity, and tireless dedication of our phenomenal coaching team.
These rockstars didn’t just create routines—they sculpted experiences. They dreamed up the vision, worked tirelessly in rehearsals, encouraged every athlete along the way, and made sure the spirit of the 80s came to life on stage (and in hearts).
Massive props to our dream team:
Larissa & Jordan, who guided our youngest gymnasts with joy.
Julia, Juliet, and Amber, who choreographed performances that sparkled with confidence and style.
Katie, who masterfully led multiple aerial groups and shaped stunning silks sequences across all sessions.
Mia & Kristina, for their leadership across cheer and gymnastics, always pushing their athletes to new levels.
Kennedy, Soo, and Kelsey, who brought precision and passion to their competitive teams.
Every cartwheel, climb, and choreography counted—and our coaches made every moment shine brighter than a disco ball.

🎉 That’s a Wrap—But the Jam Lives On
