CALISTHENICS

Association of WA

Calisthenics is an exciting sport that’s a mix of dance, gymnastics, simplified ballet, singing and apparatus

For ages 3yrs+, calisthenics combines the best aspects of sport and the performing arts.


Primarily a team sport, calisthenics teaches participants of all abilities about team work and sportsmanship, while increasing fitness, flexibility, coordination and confidence.


It is our mission to promote the healthy, physical, mental and social involvement of Calisthenics to the Western Australian community.


Each unique team based item improves the overall health, fitness, strength and flexibility of performers, as well as offering skills and benefits to take into everyday life.
