Owner & Developmental Program Director

Dani was one of Northshore’s inaugural gymnasts in 1995 and competed for them for her entire career. Dani trained through Level 10, was on four consecutive State Championship Teams and was a three-time National Qualifier.

With 18 years of coaching experience and after successfully rebuilding two competitive programs, she is excited to take her passion for gymnastics to the next level as the Owner of Northshore Gymnastics.

Dani’s philosophy stems from the way she was coached at Northshore as a gymnast; where emphasis was placed on program culture, standards, and integrity. Her vision as Owner is to provide a similar experience for all Northshore athletes and encourage them to trust the “process” where character develops, and the athlete is built.

Owner & Director of Operations

Zane entered the gymnastics industry in 2014 when he became the owner of D’Versified Sport Inc. ; a company that sells, refurbishes, and installs gymnastics equipment for private clubs, high schools, and college programs in the Region. He looks forward to bringing his business ownership experience as well as his equipment knowledge and expertise to NGC and its athletes where he will provide leadership and keep the facility equipped with the newest and safest training tools and equipment.

Level 3 Head Coach

Evanni started coaching competitive gymnastics in 2014 in conjunction with competing as a level 10 gymnast herself. In her time as a club gymnast, Evanni won multiple regional & state titles and was awarded the “Most Inspirational Athlete” award by USAG Washington in her senior year after coming back from what she thought was a career ending injury. In 2016, Evanni was crowned the national bar champion before graduating to attend the University of Washington on a gymnastics scholarship.

At the UW, Evanni was a part of two teams that competed in back-to-back NCAA National Championships, earned four All Pac-12 Team Honors on Beam & in the All-Around. Evanni was the first gymnast in UW history to earn a 10.0 on beam (twice) and was the captain of her team in both her Junior and Senior years.

Evanni has coached multiple developmental, compulsory, & optional groups. Her goal as a coach is to create well rounded gymnasts who will gain not only gymnastics skills, but life skills as well.

Preschool Director

Allyson has always loved the sport of gymnastics but it was the summer of 1996 when she watched the Magnificent Seven win gold that her passion for the sport was truly cemented. She took classes through middle school and was on her high school gymnastics team. She began teaching gymnastics in 2006.

Over the years she has been the Mobile Program Director at CEG and the Preschool Gymnastics Director at Edmonds Parks and Recreation. She has gained a lot of experience teaching preschoolers and school aged children during her 15 years of coaching. Her favorite thing about coaching is when a gymnast finally achieves a goal or makes a skill that they’ve worked hard for.

When she’s not at the gym, Allyson can be found spending time with her two daughters, eating Mexican food, or watching superhero movies. She is excited to be a part of the team here at NGC!
