WHAT IS CALISTHENICS?
* Calisthenics.....Greek: "Kallos" for beauty and "sthenos" for strength) is a uniquely Australian sport.
* Calisthenics is an enjoyable solo and team sport that encourages physical development, co-ordination and self discipline through a series of light dance, march, ballet and gymnastic routines, some with the use of apparatus all musically choreographed with singing and acting performed on a theatre stage for an Adjudicator.
* Calisthenics promotes team work and friendship, it also helps improve participants deportment and overall grooming, which continues to help them throughout their life.
* Students develop an appreciation for music, rhythms and melodies of all kinds.
* Performances at competitions involve wearing stunning costumes, making the performances very dynamic and exciting both for the participants and the audience.
* Between 3 and 5 routines are learnt by the participants during the year. Each routine lasts between 1.5 - 5 minutes. All routines are taught and performed with the emphasis of teamwork and uniformity.
