Strathpine Physie Holds a Physie Workshop!

What better way to spend the school holidays than with a whole day of PHYSIE?! 40 'Strathpinettes' and 'Evertonites' participated in the first Physie Workshop the club has held in over ten years! We had a fantastic day full of fitness and bootcamps, marching, technique, games, designing leotards, choreography and of course physie! The girls aged between 5 and 12 years were enthusiastic, full of energy and best of all, well behaved throughout the day! At the end of the day all the parents were invited to come and watch how hard the girls had worked at learning and choreographing their new dances. Thank-you to Everton Physie Club for joining us yesterday and Miss Ainsley Grant for all your help! I would also like to thank Laurie Birch, a Strathpine lady and personal trainer from 'The Bootcamp Team' for your fantastic bootcamps, I think it was a highlight of the girls day! Also to Karen Goodwin, Melissa Spies and Katie Rushworth, thank-you for all your help and enthusiasm! The girls loved their photographer and 'Physie Fairies'!

On Sunday 2nd of June, the Strathpine Physie Dance Troupe consisting of girls from 8 - 12 years performed at the Kurwongbah School Fete! The girls learnt the dance over a few Saturdays and dedicated one Wednesday afternoon to perfecting their performance.

Each and every girl made Miss Maddison and the Strathpine Club very proud!

Gemma and Jennifer have pre-performance giggles!

Physie girls are such posers!
