The “Gymnastics & Cheerleading Academy of Connecticut” (GCA) in Norwalk didn’t just talk the talk; they walked the walk with their “Fashion Show & Valentine’s Day Pop-Up Shop,” which turned out to be a success.

Dozens of kids and parents strutted down the runway, showcasing outfits provided by Groove Boutique in Westport.

“Partnered up with Groove Boutique in Westport and provided all of our outfits — really fun Valentines-themed outfits. It was a blast! Everyone was all smiles walking down the runway. We had such a fun time!” says Hannah Lobdell from Gymnastics & Cheerleading Academy of Connecticut.

This event not only highlighted fashion but also supported the academy’s mission of providing world-class training to young gymnasts.
