About Us

A CLUB FOR PERFORMERS OF ALL AGES WHERE LIFE LONG FRIENDS ARE MADE... 

Our club consists of performers across six age groups from ages 2-75, supported by our coaches, assistant coaches and class helpers. We are currently the largest calisthenics club in Victoria with over 190 students. Our club has been providing calisthenics classes to the community since 1955, operating from our purpose built studios at 11 Walter Street, Moorabbin.

A CLUB THAT CREATES CONFIDENT PERFORMERS IN LIFE... 

Calisthenics is the sport with performing at its heart. We offer a unique combination of dancing, singing, gymnastics and technical skills for girls, boys and women. Calisthenics develops strong, confident performers through teamwork. Discipline and technique, grace and poise are fostered in a fun and friendly club environment where families can connect and performers can develop skills, and friendships, that last a lifetime. Our performers learn skills that inspire them to take centre stage at competitions, and in life.

A CLUB WHERE STRONG LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT MATTERS... 

Bentleigh Calisthenics is a community not-for-profit club run by a dedicated committee of management. Bentleigh Calisthenics was officially the first calisthenics club in Victoria to gain affiliate level accreditation in the Calisthenics Victoria Leading Club program and now is only one of a handful of clubs in Victoria to hold our Gold Level Leading Club accreditation. 

A CLUB WITH DEDICATED & SUPPORTIVE COACHES & 

We pride ourselves in having a large, dedicated and passionate coaching team to help cater to all performer needs and abilities.  Our coaches are all registered members of the Victorian Calisthenics Coaches Association and regularly undertake professional development courses.  

A club where performers are encouraged to soar

We offer competition classes for all age groups with all performers registered and insured through our State Sporting body - Calisthenics Victoria. Our classes are open to performers of all abilities where we encourage each individual to challenge themselves and reach their full potential.

A club that offers variety for all performers

We offer a variety of classes to suit our members busy schedules with multiple class times available. We also are proud to offer all our performers the opportunity to participate as soloists to further develop their skills and experience one on one coaching. 


"My Daughter began Cali at Bentleigh in 2018 after craving more variety than gymnastics offered her. The Coaching staff are so supportive and positive and I can see the confidence and skill she continues to develop year on year - heading into our 4th year now! Even online classes in the 'lockdown' of 2020 were her link to normality and to be honest without that, we would've been lost, so thank you for thinking outside the 4 walls of the hall and bringing Cali to us. What a community and what a Club!"

"How much my daughter has learnt - about calisthenics, teamwork, listening, stretching, performing and being organised. The way the teachers encourage all the kids. Also the running of the club - wonderful to be part of an incredibly well run organisation. BCC is a welcoming family orientated club, something other clubs really struggle to achieve."
