These competitions are optional, and there are a range of different kinds which students can enter depending on their experience and enthusiasm.
Physie & Dance is a much less expensive form of dance, For performances girls wear no shoes and only one performance association leotard is required throughout the whole year.
Physie is fun. It’s social. It promotes fitness and a general sense of well-being, and self-worth. APDA embraces the opportunity for positive change. The creative team at APDA pride themselves in understanding the need to review and redefine this unique sport, and collectively they have designed a national curriculum that is energetic, edgy and always exciting for students.
The APDA syllabus incorporates modern dance, ballet, lyrical, stretch and strengthening exercises to support these movements. The syllabus underpins our Association’s vision to help students express their creativity through an innovative interpretation of movement and music. The syllabus will be reviewed annually to ensure that the Association’s high standards are continually met and maintained.
Greystanes Physie and Dance was established in 2012 by Kasey Aquilina and Dianne Corbett. Both passionate physie girls who love to share their knowledge and enthusiasm of dance to their students and is a creative and dynamic dance school for girls and ladies.
