Palm Beach Physie Inc is a physical fitness programme located in Currumbin Waters, on the southern end of Queensland's Gold Coast. As a registered activity provider with the Queensland Government's FairPlay programme, Palm Beach Physie offers a unique combination of dance and sport for girls and women of all ages and abilities.
Physie, also known as Physical Culture, is a structured dance sport that focuses on increasing strength, fitness, and flexibility. In each physie class, participants will learn a variety of dance styles such as jazz, contemporary, and hip-hop, making it a dynamic low-impact dance and aerobic activity. Throughout the year, each age group will learn a set of routines that are gradually taught, culminating in optional group and individual performances at the end of the year.
At Palm Beach Physie, the experienced and dedicated teachers are committed to helping individuals reach their maximum potential. Danny Holland, one of the teachers, has been involved in physie since the age of three and has successfully competed at both state and national levels.

Both teachers are passionate about instilling confidence, encouraging self-expression, and ensuring that participants have fun while achieving their fitness goals.
