Australian Calisthenics Competition
Royal South Street Society Ballarat Eisteddfod’s Australian Calisthenics Competition commenced in 1903 and today is one of the largest competitions in the country. The Eisteddfod has hosted competing clubs from WA, SA, NSW, ACT, QLD and of course Victoria.
Our Eisteddfod platform offers a unique chance for personal and team growth and improvement and showcases the unique combination of dancing, singing, gymnastics, technical and leaderships skills that Calisthenics nurtures through friendship and teamwork.
In 2024 we are excited to return to the beautiful Her Majesty's Theatre stage for the Australian Calisthenics Competition. We look forward to once again seeing the vibrant calisthenics teams throughout the city of Ballarat!

"My advice for anyone dreaming of entering this incredible competition would be to continue to believe in yourself. We must remember things won't always go our way but that is not a reason to give up. Continue fighting for your dreams and do it for yourself. Enjoy every moment of it, because you never know when it will end. Solos are made special by how you perform it and the heart and soul you show to the audience. Dream the impossible and speak into existence." Honoria Roffey 2022 winner
The winner of the 2023 Peace & Quiet Graceful Solo was Elyse Pavan
