What is Physie?

Physie is a unique competitive sport that combines aspects of ballet, dance and choreographed exercises set to modern music. Throw in a sparkly leotard and a pair of ballet shoes and you have the glamorous and unique sport of Edith Parsons Physical Culture. Physie combines dance, floor and standing exercises where members are taught a new, age appropriate syllabus of routines each year. Individual and team competitions give our members the opportunity to perform these routines in front of an audience to increase their self-confidence and make new friends.

Who can do Physie?
