Mermaid Physie

Mermaid Physie is a physical culture club in Palm Beach where girls and women come together to train in physie, a uniquely Australian dance-fitness sport that blends ballet, jazz, contemporary and lyrical movement with a focus on strength, flexibility and fitness. Established in 2002, the club has grown into a much-loved fixture of the southern Gold Coast.

The club is best known for its warm, family-oriented spirit. Members describe it as a place where girls of all ages become close friends, supporting and encouraging one another like family. It is a sport that mothers, daughters, sisters and friends can share together, keeping fit and having fun along the way, with members ranging from young children right through to those over 70.

Beyond the friendships, physie at Mermaid is genuinely good for the body and mind. Members learn new routines throughout the year, build technique, strength and flexibility, and have the chance to perform and compete at local, state and national levels. For many, the club delivers lasting confidence, resilience and fitness in an environment that never loses its sense of fun.
