Thanks to PHYSIE & dance I have stopped saying I can't do this & now say I will be able to do IT in time! I focus on goals & hear corrections as encouragement. I no longer get stage fright. I have come out of my shell & made extra-curricular memories that will last a lifetime

In 2025 5yrs-16yrs classes are currently held 2x per week and we are thrilled that we are the only Physie Club within the Canberra Region to offer this!

We take easter off and we hold 1 group class per week during the school holidays at alternate locations that include Canberra Dance Theatre and Eden Dance Academy.

Classes run with the school terms, right through until the ADPA Qualifiers & APDA Team Competitions that are currently held approximately October/November each year.  Whilst these are not the only stage-based performance opportunities through the year, they are affectionately considered 'our big ones' and all classes take consistent steps towards performance at these events. Students therefore commence in Term 1 and commit until South Coast qualifiers and/or Teams. 

At the end of the year, Queans Physie & Dance holds a special performance and awards day to celebrate the achievements of the entire club. This fun-filled event invites family and friends to join in the celebration, cheer on their favourite dancers, and help ensure every dancer finishes the year on a high note, dancing into the holiday season!

How exciting! We would love to hear from you.

At Queans, our dance program goes beyond regular end-of-term class performances and includes actively participating in the annual APDA (Australian Physie and Dance Association) competition circuit. This schedule includes smaller "club meets", held on the south coast and in Sydney in 2024, throughout July and August, as well as team and group competitions around October and November. For members desiring an individual national performance experience, APDA provides opportunities in October and November on larger stages, affectionately considered 'the big ones', allowing dancers to connect with Physie & Dance friends from all corners of the country.

At Queans Physie & Dance, we acknowledge the diversity of philosophies surrounding competitions. From those who relish the chance to dress up and enjoy the thrill of makeup, hair, and the stage with friends, to those striving for measured goals and achievements, we embrace and support all approaches!

Our Queans club culture emphasizes that competitions contribute to the development of crucial life skills such as reasonable goal-setting, discipline, commitment, completion, increased physical health, strength, and professional presentation. The overarching purpose; is to provide age-appropriate goals for growth and dance-skill development. Recognizing that some members may have the drive for home practice while others may not, we respect these differences based on individual reasons and priorities.

Through inclusivity and the wealth of experience within our teaching team, Queans Physie & Dance supports all healthy approaches to competition. Our united goal as a teaching team is to encourage improvement and offer perspective, tailored to each individual's journey.

From the very first week, thoughtful feedback is provided, empowering individuals to choose how to respond and contributing to a supportive environment where we dance together in celebration of personal growth.

The Australian Physie and Dance Association (APDA) has revolutionised physie as you know it.

APDA was created with the vision to produce a sport that incorporates the fundamentals of Physie and the art of Dance.

Through the dedication and passion of a network of Physie and dance professionals, a contemporary, relevant and transparent platform for our sport was born, benefiting our students’ fitness, strength and flexibility while embracing the movement of dance.

CHOREOGRAPHY

A key driving element of the association is the curriculum we offer to our students. By recruiting many professional dance choreographers each year, APDA can construct exciting and progressive routines whilst following a structure to allow skill progression and coordination as the dancers develop in both age and ability.  

TEACHERS

Our teachers play an integral part in ensuring that students are involved in a fun learning experience. By encouraging progression, they can ensure that students perform to the best of their ability; whilst learning fundamental social skills in a friendly environment. Teachers are engaged with APDA throughout the year which provides them with tools and knowledge to help guide students along the way.  

COMPETITIONS

APDA offers exciting opportunities to showcase our syllabus. These performances enhance and encourage goal-setting and personal achievements. The students are given the choice of participating in team events to represent their club and individual competitions. With these yearly events, our members learn essential skills such as team building and sportsmanship. APDA prides itself on all local and national competitions being held on the finest Australian stages.

JUDGING SYSTEM

APDA prides itself on the delivery of our unique judging system, created specifically for our sport. Our competition judges consist of both teachers within our association and dance professionals who are well-regarded and highly qualified. Both are required to complete and pass a judging course that tests their ability to spot the correct technique and execution of each routine. Having qualified judges and a judging system created specifically for our sport we can provide the best possible outcome at each competition.

We experienced APDA girls know all too well, how lucky we are that Physie & Dance is a fantastic lifelong sport, and it is something you can start at 5, leave at 15 and return to at 25, 35 or even 45! It is for this reason that we develop such significant lifelong friendships within our community. 

Key values at Queans Physie & Dance, include kindness, respect towards peers, teachers and other clubs, friendship first and above all else.
