Dubbo City Physie enjoyed the “short drive” down the road to Parkes on the weekend of September 20–21st for the Central West Zone Championships.

Here they came together with other clubs from the Central West including Wagga Wagga, Lachlan Valley, East Orange Bathurst, Pinnacle, Coonamble, Cudgegong Valley, and Orana.

“DCP girls embraced the competition floor with pride, and had a fantastic time performing the sport they love,” a Club spokesperson said.

“All our age groups did us proud, with stand-outs going to Emily in the Five Years gaining third place, Lucy and Milly in the Nine Years as finalists, and Rachelle in the Over 40’s making a final too,” they added.

Lucy and Milly will now progress to a “repechage” (playoff) in a few weeks at the Quaycentre at Homebush, where they will compete against a range of clubs from throughout Australia for a chance to progress to National Finals in November.

“Physie is a Dance Sport for all ages and is rhythmic movements to music fusing such styles as jazz, ballet, hip hop, contemporary, aerobic dance and yoga,” the spokesperson explained.

“Movements are designed to increase strength, fitness, and flexibility and provide the girls with confidence, connection, and sportsmanship,” they added.
