Tracey's physie journey began with her Mum and sister at age 15, when she needed a break from nine years of dancing. Tracey loved physie so much that she started her teaching career at 20, becoming an Associate to all physie ages and abilities.
​
Tracey has competed in both Seniors and Ladies sections at the highest level many times at National Finals and Opera House and continues to be a part of competitive ladies teams each year.
​
'I understand the importance of how much a physie teacher influences your life, having had amazing teachers in my physie journey. I want to pass on my experience, knowledge and passion for physie to the Ladies class and ensure a magical physie journey is had by all Ladies each week.
​
We are honoured to have Tracey share her 40 plus years of physie experience and can't wait for her to pass this onto our Ladies classes.
Vicki, together with her lifelong physie friends, have formed Magic Point Physie Club. The Club has been created simply to share the love and passion of physie, to grow new friendships and to have the opportunity to dance for exercise at any age and experience level.
​
Vicki has been a physie girl since she was aged two and continuously over the last 40 plus years. Over this time, she has experienced all levels of competition from interclubs, champion girl/lady, teams, competing for 10 years at the senior Opera House and, of course, plenty of physie in between.
​
‘My goal for Magic Point Physie is to ensure we provide an environment where members of all ages can be a part of a community that encourages, builds confidence and is supportive to all. It’s time I gave back to something that has been such a big part of my life!'
​
We can’t wait for Vicki to share her physie knowledge with all of our Magic members, instill confidence and encourage all to be ‘their’ best at our wonderful sport of physie.
​
​
Katrina’s physie journey began at the age of 7 at Casino Club where her friends, sisters and cousin were all members. Her most treasured physie memories are the trips away with her family and physie friends to attend competitions. Katrina loved physie so much and began teaching whilst in high school.
​
Katrina competed in both junior and senior sections at the Opera House and 30 plus years later is still competitive in the Open Ladies section. Katrina now shares her love of physie with her daughter and nieces.
​
‘I am thrilled to be part of the creation of Magic Point Physie and really looking forward to bringing out the best ‘physie girl’ in our teenage members. I’m hoping that I can help provide a physie experience that they too can make lifelong physie memories and friendships that will last forever.’
​
Katrina is known for her gentle, but cheeky nature, perfect physie technique and amazing toe points - we can’t wait for Katrina to share her knowledge and love of physie with our Magic teenagers.

Paige is currently studying Psychology and working in youth care.
'Working with young people I can really see the impact positive role models have on children’s self esteem. I love that physie empowers girls from a young age to be confident in themselves and ability. I’m super excited to be apart of that. My biggest goal as teacher is to continue this wonderful tradition of lifting each other up and celebrating friendships through fitness'.
We're thrilled to have Paige share her expertise and enthusiasm for physie, shaping the futures of our young dancers.
Phoebe's love for Physie began as a little girl at the back of her Mum’s Physie classes. Ever since, that love has only ever grown! Since age 4, she has been a part of a Physie family and, with almost 20 years of dancing experience, has passion for sharing her love of performing with the younger ages.
Phoebe is currently in her final year of a Primary Education degree and is looking forward to combining her knowledge and passion for teaching and Physie. Phoebe's goal is to create an environment that is encouraging, supportive and fun
'Physie has been a big part of my life and I have been able to create lifelong memories and friendships with girls all around the country. Physie has not only taught me the value of teamwork, but also the importance of self-confidence and motivation. I enjoy being able to express myself through music and movement and I love that Physie challenges both my strengths and weaknesses.'
