WHAT IS CALISTHENICS ?

Calisthenics is a competitive performing art featuring elements of rhythmic gymnastics and ballet combined with a strong emphasis on theatricality (both musical and dramatic), costume,  dance and musical interpretation. The art form was created entirely in Australia and can be easily differentiated from  traditional calisthenics by its focus on competition and theatrical  performance instead of simple synchronized exercise.
