The running of the event was helped by Goulburn Mulwaree Council which provided the club a grant through their Event Development Funding - Sport Tourism program.
Physie is the perfect combination of dance movements designed to increase strength, fitness and flexibility.
It is a synchronised, team-based dance sport that's social, fun and an excellent low impact dance and aerobic activity.
McElligott also thanked Evolution Trophies, Goulburn Apparel and Printing, Studio 4 Designs, Rainbow Faces and Creative Cookies for their support.
Goulburn Physie was established in 2016 and is a community-run club.
Teachers Laura Scott and sister Amy Mceneny founded the club, while the third teacher Emma Howarth joined at a later stage.
At the moment, the ladies and five-year-old categories are the most popular at the club which holds its training sessions at the Bradfordville Public School hall.
Club members learn dances from a syllabus during the first half of the year before taking part in interclub, state and national competitions.
