Bec
TINIES & INTERS COACH
Tell us about yourself…
I’m an Albury–Wodonga local and have been involved in dance for over two decades, both as a performer and a coach. Calisthenics was my favourite sport growing up, and I love being able to share that passion with the students at our club.
Outside of the studio, I work as a civil engineer – a career that is very different to teaching dance! When I’m not working or coaching, I enjoy reading, getting outdoors, and spending time with my two dogs — a Kelpie and a Cavoodle — who keep me very busy.
​
What do you love about Calisthenics?
I really enjoy coaching dancers at all stages of their journey, whether they are learning or perfecting. I love seeing how a team comes together socially, and the life-long friendships that are made. Calisthenics provides a space for our students to make friends outside of their peers at school, which is so helpful for students as they move through their teenage years.
What motivates you as a coach?
I’m motivated by seeing students grow — not just in their dancing, but in their confidence and belief in themselves. Watching them achieve things they once thought were out of reach, and knowing I’ve played a small part in that journey, is incredibly rewarding.

JUNIORS & MASTERS COACH

Tell us about yourself…
I’ve been involved with calisthenics since the 90s and started coaching when I finished uni. Outside of calisthenics I’m a civil engineer with a love of Irish punk music, and live with my partner, daughter, and two chaotic dogs.
What do you love about Calisthenics?
The combination of precision and freedom of expression, with the opportunity to get on stage and go your absolute hardest.
What has coaching taught you over the years?
That every student has their own personal brand of brilliance, and it’s my job as a coach to find it and help it shine.
Makenzie
JUNIORS ASSISTANT COACH
Tell us about yourself...
Calisthenics has been part of my life for 12 years, shaping me as both a person and performer. I’ve competed, completed four years of solos, and assisted classes across age groups. I’m now excited to progress into coaching. I’m also studying a Bachelor of Education (Primary) and working with children in schools and care programs.
​
What do you love about Calisthenics?
I love the strong sense of community and belonging calisthenics creates. TCC feels like a second family where I feel supported, valued, and inspired. I cherish the balance of discipline and creativity, the friendships formed, and sharing the sport with my mum has made it even more special.
​
How long have you been involved with Calisthenics and how did you get involved?
I’ve been involved in calisthenics for 12 years, starting in Tinies at age six after a come-and-try class. As I progressed, I began assisting classes and competing in solos from age 15. Now, I’m excited to step into coaching and support the next generation of athletes.
