Physie is for
Everyone
But first, who are we?
At Banyule City Physical Culture, we believe in all the benefits of dance, from mental to physical.
​
A mother and daughter duo, our dance school fosters a welcoming environment where individuals of all ages and skill levels can explore the joy of movement. With a focus on physical well-being, fun, creating life long friendships, we strive to build a thriving community united by a shared passion for dance.
Our experienced instructors are dedicated to guiding each student on their journey, encouraging them to be the best version of themselves in a supportive atmosphere.
With experience in a variety of dance styles and personal training (aside from physical culture), our teachers are guaranteed to push our students into a positive and healthy relationship with their bodies and minds.
What is Physie?
Physical Culture (Physie) is the perfect combination of dance and sport for girls and women.
​​
Our professionally choreographed syllabus combines dance styles such as jazz, ballet, hip-hop, contemporary, aerobic dance and pilates, and even yoga, and is set to a soundtrack of upbeat pop music.
​​
Our innovative choreography changes annually and is designed for maximum variety, age-appropriate skill development and fun.
​
By teaching girls and women of all ages, the aim is to have a positive relationship with their bodies. We help students blossom with confidence and self-assurance.
BJP Physie is passionate about nurturing students' total wellbeing, in both mind and body. Physie is an accepting and encouraging solo and team sport, where every member is supported and motivated to be the best they can be.
​
... And it's fun!
