What is involved in a year of physie?
We begin by learning the newly choreographed syllabus each year in February. We aim to teach our students the syllabus by the end of term one (or two if they attend only once a week). We then work toward team and individual championships which are held in Brisbane and Sydney over the second half of the year.
Can I join a team if I attend classes once a week?
It takes commitment to classes and commitment to your team mates to be selected for a team. Students can enter the individual competitions but need to commit to two classes per week to be considered for teams which is a highlight of the year.
How are teams selected?
All students attending performance classes will be offered the opportunity to join a team provided they have learned the routines in time for selection. The selection process is usually based on commitment level, ability, experience and enthusiasm.
Can parents watch classes?
Toowoomba Physie does not open classes to parents for viewing. There are many opportunities to watch performances including an occasional open class so that you can see your daughter's progress.
