Calisthenics (12yo+)
The sport for creative performers.
Calisthenics is a uniquely Australian sport which develops strong, confident performers through teamwork. Its unique combination of dancing, singing, gymnastics and technical skills offers a variety that is unsurpassed.
Participants learn 4-7 items concurrently through the year, depending on their age, and perform these as a team at competitions as well as at the Highett Youth Club Calisthenics Annual Display in Term 4. In learning these routines participants develop a high level of fitness and muscle tone, as well as coordination, confidence, grace and poise. These attributes can be carried through all aspects of their lives.
Participants are exhilarated by the opportunity to perform in costume and make-up, and through the stage experience, gain confidence in performing in front of an audience.
Calisthenics inspires performers to take centre stage today, and throughout their lives.
