​
Is there a uniform?
We have a terrific Arafura Calisthenics Club shirt that helps our participants stand out as a team and promote our club.
​Our team shirts have a convenient button front so they can easily be taken on and off when hair and make-up have been done!​
Shirts are $35 and can be purchased from the club
What will I need to start Calisthenics?
The most important thing to bring to class each week is a positive attitude and your team spirit!
Tinies and Future Stars need to bring a water bottle and wear a leotard or bike shorts and a singlet. ​
