WHITEHORSE SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE FAQ

Here are answers to some questions you may have.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN my fees at Whitehorse Physie?

Physie is an affordable dance sport with fees much lower than traditional dance schools. Please enquire today for an up-to-date indication of our Physie fees. 

Our fees include weekly classes for the entire year, and any additional practices required closer to competitions. Fees also cover Club Hall Hire and Insurance, Club Day registration, Competition registration for individual Champion Girl and Teams, and Team Attire Hire for events throughout the year. There is no discount for missed classes.

Please note an annual registration fee of $99 for BJP registration is required. includes insurance cover, BJP syllabus music and DVD and is paid directly to BJP each year (this is a one off seperate cost from your term fees). 

What do you actually do in class?

After greeting your friends and being welcomed to class by your teacher, you’ll begin with some easy stretching and warming up. Next, you’ll practice your posture by marching or start learning a new dance routine. For the little ones there are always fun games that everyone loves. Each lesson is designed to make sure that you improve a little every single week and caters to the ability level of the group.

How many students are in a class?

There are between 5 to 25 students in each class at Whitehorse Physie, depending on the age group of the students. Larger classes often have an assistant teacher.

Can I try Physie before committing to join?

Yes. You are welcome to come to an introductory class obligation free. You can watch or participate in a class to see what it’s like before committing to join our club. To join us in 2024, please complete the Expression of Interest form so we can add you to our communications list. 

What type of Physie competitions are there and do I have to compete?

There are two types of BJP Physie competitions. The first is Teams, with 8 girls or ladies in one team performing routines together aiming for sychronisation in timing and formations. The second is called Champion Girl, where girls pursue their individual goals. There are various competitions throughout the year, with club, interclub, regional, state and finally national competitions. Every year, the National Championships are held in Sydney, where Physie girls all over Australia come to compete with the best of the best. Competitions are completely optional, though they are a great way to build confidence and meet other Physie girls from all over Australia! It’s a wonderful experience designed to encourage girls to become comfortable performing in a safe, positive environment.

Will my daughter have to perform by herself?
No! If your daughter is competing in a team she will be on at the same time as the rest of her team. If your daughter is competing in Champion Girl although she is competing individually, she will be on the floor at the same time as other girls from her age group in her ‘heat’. This means there will usually be 10-15 other girls performing the same routine as your daughter at the same time, and this is often something that our students love because they are competing for themselves, but not alone!
