What is Calisthenics?
Calisthenics is a uniquely Australian sport that helps to develop discipline of mind and body, teamwork, a competitive spirit and a sense of commitment.
It is a dynamic combination of gymnastics, dance, apparatus, marching, singing and acting. There are thousands of participants throughout Australia. Calisthenics has a strong focus on deportment and presentation, helping participants to develop confidence in movement and performance and to enjoy the thrill of competing on stage in front of an audience several times a year.
Participants learn to appreciate and interpret different styles of music with different styles of movement and dance. There is a strong focus on flexibility, strength and control, grace and poise, expression through both the body and the face and simply just enjoying different forms of dance and movement.
