What is Calisthenics?
More than dance. More than sport.
Calisthenics is a uniquely Australian sport which helps to develop discipline of mind and body, team work, a competitive spirit and a sense of commitment.
The word calisthenics comes from the Greek words ‘kallos’ for beauty and ‘thenos’ for strength.
Calisthenics is a dynamic combination of Gymnastics, Dance, Apparatus (Clubs and Rods) 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.
