What is Physical Culture?

Physical Culture is a sport for girls and ladies of all ages.

Preschool classes are held for 3-4 year olds. This is a fun class using many familiar action songs to help them learn the basics of physical culture.

For girls aged 5-16 years, classes are run in age sections. Choreography is new each year, with age appropriate routines and modern music.

Older girls, aged 17+, move into the seniors class. They begin out as 1st year seniors, then move to 2nd year seniors before progressing to the ultimate class - the Open Seniors. This work is challenging but, when perfected, looks ever so effortless and graceful.

When the seniors work starts to feel too much, ladies can move into a relatively new section called Extended Ladies. This is a combination of work from the Seniors syllabus and the Advanced Ladies section.

The Ladies section is divided into experience groups, starting with Elementary Ladies (who have never done physie before), to 1st year, 2nd year and finally Advanced Ladies. There are many ladies in their 70s who still compete and there are just as many ladies who just come for the exercise and social side that physie classes have to offer.
