Physie or physical culture is a uniquely Australian style of dance.
It's a synchronised, team-based sport that's social and fun, incorporating many genres of dance into professionally choreographed routines.
An interclub competition is a friendly competition that aims to give physie participants experience in competing and has a wonderful way of fostering club spirit.
