What is Calisthenics?

Calisthenics is a uniquely Australian Sport that is predominantly a team-based competitive performing art.

The word itself comes from the Greek words "Kallos" for beauty and "sthenos" for strength.

Calisthenics is a dynamic combination of gymnastics, all genres of dance, apparatus (Clubs & Rods), marching, singing, acting and miming, all enjoyed by the thrill of competing and performing on stage.

In addition to team competitions, performers can compete in Graceful Solos, Calisthenics Solos and Calisthenics Duos.

Team spirit, friendship and fitness give Calisthenics performers confidence to last a lifetime!
