Established in 1994, Wingrove has been a family oriented club from the beginning.
Through innovation and participation, calisthenics is a creative sport for all.
We offer a unique combination of dancing, singing, gymnastics and technical skills for children to adults.
Calisthenics develops strong, confident performers through teamwork. Discipline and technique, grace and poise are fostered in a fun and friendly club environment, where families can connect and performers can develop skills, and friendships, that last a lifetime.
Our performers learn skills that inspire them to take centre stage at competitions, and in life.
