Bjelke Petersen School of Physical Culture (BJP Physie) has over 130 clubs in almost all suburbs of Sydney, country NSW, Victoria, Queensland, A.C.T, WA, SA and Tasmania, with new clubs opening all the time.
Physie is a great way to make lifelong friends and compete at both a local and national level. Participants have the opportunity to learn and perform both individually and as part of a team, allowing them to build personal skills while also experiencing the benefits of group performance. Our choreography is age-appropriate designed to teach the relationship of music to movement, rhythm and musical interpretation. We dance barefoot, and have the choice of competing in a BJP branded leotard and/or performance wear (top and leggings).
BJP Physie provides a new syllabus and music every year and the Physie year culminates in a series of friendly competitions for both teams and individuals. These are not compulsory, but they do help to foster club spirit, a sense of belonging and club loyalty. You don’t have to compete, but representing your club with your friends can be a lot of fun! The friends you make at Physie will be friends for a lifetime.
Learning Physie improves confidence, develops a sense of achievement and helps to build self-esteem in the best way possible – by performing in front of an audience. Find out more about BJP, Champion Girl and Teams below:
