Calisthenics is fun and fitness for all age groups. 

The word calisthenics comes from the Greek words 'kallos' for beauty and 'thenos' for strength.  

Indeed, the components of the sport aim at achieving those physical attributes, but the sport also influences the emotional and social development of girls and boys through friendship and teamwork.

Calisthenics is an artistic sport unique to Australia. It combines dance, gymnastics, singing, apparatus manipulation and ballet, and is performed in theatres. It involves a team of pupils learning routines choreographed to music - each of about three to four in minutes duration - and presenting those routines at competitions. Pupils learn approximately six routines concurrently throughout a year and this is where the diversity of the sport is seen.

Whilst not every child is suited to being a ballerina, or a gymnast, every child will be able to find an element of calisthenics that they are good at and will have the opportunity to shine on stage, along with their team mates!

Calisthenics is a excellent base for your child to begin performance/dancing and understand the basic technique of movement which is a fantastic team sport for the all aged girls.

At our club, we believe all our students will learn not only to dance, sing and become talented performers but will also gain confidence, learn teamwork and dedication, while having fun and getting fit in a nuturing environment. Maverick Academy is a registered member of the New South Wales Calisthenic Association Incorporated (NSWCAI) and is affiliated with the Australian Calisthenic Federation (ACF)

Calisthenics not only allows our students to be involved, but our families too! Like your children, you all have talents in area, which you may wish to share, such as sewing (both hand and machine), prop making (carpentry skills, artists etc.) You may have contacts to allow us to display your children’s talents and create further interest in this exciting sport.
