Callisthenics is a unique multidiscipline dance sport that is exclusive to Australia and practised in every state except Tasmania. It combines various forms of dance, ballet, gymnastics, apparatus, figure marching, and musical theatre in a single class. Students as young as three years old, all the way up to seniors aged 60+, can participate in the sport and are grouped into teams based on their age as of December 31st.

They have their own fully equipped studio in Wodonga, complete with a sprung dance floor and floor-to-ceiling mirrors.
The club offers classes for everyone, starting at three years old and above, with no experience necessary. Their team of highly skilled coaches are all accredited with the Australian Institute of Sport, ensuring that students receive the best training and guidance. The coaches are enthusiastic about callisthenics and are committed to helping students make the most out of their time at the club.
Twin City Callisthenics offers a range of classes to cater to different age groups and skill levels.

They use various apparatus, including hula-hoops, ribbons, and skirts. The Subbies classes introduce apparatus manipulation and gymnastics elements, teaching movements like cartwheels, handstands, and bridges. Juniors classes further expand on apparatus manipulation and explore more complex moves, incorporating gymnastics, ballet leaps, and walkovers.
Inters classes are for older girls, focusing on competition preparation and refinement of skills learned in previous classes.
