Fernleigh Calisthenics Club Boronia

Fernleigh Juniors

Fernleigh Juniors are aged 12 years and under and participate in 4 - 5 competetions each year. Fernleigh Juniors perform the following:

Figure March:
Pupils execute many intricate floor patterns whilst marching. Deportment and uniformity are important factors in this item.

Club Swinging:
Pupils are required to swing clubs in unison with emphasis on rhythm and uniformity, planing in a circular action.

Free Arm:
Pupils perform a series of strong movements involving flexibility, control, and uniformity of rhythm. Routines test the pupils' stamina, flexibility and timing. The pupils operate with 'free arms' - that is, holding no apparatus.

Rod exercises:
Pupils perform similar movements to Free exercises, with the added complication of an apparatus in their hands, that is, a long rod which is manipulated constantly through the routine.

Aesthetic Exercises:
Pupils perform graceful movements. Their task is to interpret music with feeling and softness, as reflected throughout their body and facial expressions. Many balletic positions are used in order to execute the movements correctly.

Calisthenics Review:
This routine combines dancing, singing, gymnastics, balletic movements, physical movement, acting and comedy to make a breathtaking item.

All classes are held at the Boronia Uniting Church.
It is located on the corner of Boronia Road & Zeising Ct, Boronia, VIC 3155.
