Welcome to Top End Calisthenics Club (TECCI)

Calisthenics is a uniquely Australian artistic sport. Calisthenics involves a team of participants learning routines choreographed to music, incorporating elements of dance, gymnastics, singing, acting, marching, ballet, apparatus technique and performance skills. The word Calisthenics comes from the Greek words ‘kallos’ for beauty and ‘thenos’ for strength.
As a sport, calisthenics improves coordination, mobility, balance, strength, flexibility and posture as well as fostering self-esteem and team spirit. As an art it encourages an appreciation of music rhythm, the celebration of movement and the excitement of performing on stage.
Calisthenics promotes a healthy body and a healthy mind. Being part of a team develops self-discipline, teamwork, commitment, responsibility, self-esteem and lasting friendships. The combination of movement and performance skills provides fitness, coordination rhythm, grace, deportment and confidence.
