WHAT IS APDA PHYSIE?
Physie is a unique and dynamic dance sport designed for people of all ages and abilities.
Every calendar year students learn a brand-new Australian Physie & Dance Association (APDA) syllabus taught twice weekly. This syllabus features 4 to 6 routines spanning multiple genres, including Ballet, Modern Dance, Contemporary, Pilates, Gymnastics, and Lyrical. As a multi-genre program, Physie fosters a well-rounded appreciation for dance while building both technical and expressive skills.
Our classes are inclusive and beginner-friendly—no prior experience is required. Physie is also an excellent choice for those looking to return to a recreational dance sport in a supportive environment.
Our classes are especially beneficial for:
Technical skills, core strength, balance, flexibility
Fitness and coordination
Confidence, poise and posture
Collaboration, teamwork, sportsmanship and lifelong friendships.
