Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer a free trial class?
Yes! New students are welcome to try a free class to meet the teacher, see how lessons run, and make sure physie is the right fit.

A drink bottle, hair tied back, and a positive attitude. All classes are done in bare feet.
What do I wear to class?
Juniors: No set uniform, though Magic Point merchandise is encouraged.

What happens in class?
Students learn dance and exercise routines, build fitness, and have fun. Classes usually begin with a warm‑up and include technique, syllabus choreography, and stamina work.
Can we start mid‑term?
Yes. New members can join anytime, with fees adjusted accordingly. Our teachers help new students settle in.
Can parents stay to watch?
Parents may watch younger classes from the back of the hall. As children grow more confident, we encourage independence.

Is physie suitable for boys?
Physie is traditionally female‑focused, but boys are welcome in our younger classes. Contact us to discuss suitability.

No problem. While make‑up classes aren’t always available, students simply return the following week. Please let your teacher know if you’ll be away.
