Bonny Hills Physical Culture Club
BJP School of Dance
A Fusion of Dance and Sport
Fun, upbeat, pop music is the soundtrack to a sport that fuses dance styles such as jazz, ballet, hip hop, contemporary, aerobic dance and even yoga! Our innovative choreography changes annually and is designed for maximum variety and fun.
Physie (also known as Physical Culture) is the perfect combination of movements designed to increase strength, fitness and flexibility. The benefits for your daughter are increased co-ordination, brain development and confidence.
Physie is a synchronised, team-based sport that’s social and fun and an excellent low impact dance and aerobic activity.
Why do Physie at Bonny Hills?
​
Bonny Hills offers an experienced mother/daughter teaching team where FUN, FITNESS & FRIENDSHIP are a top priority. Physie is a fantastic way for young girls and ladies to develop healthy minds and bodies whilst forming friendships that last a lifetime.
Ann started this club in 2001 with 40 members and an aim to nurture and encourage the special talents of each and every girl. Ashley joined her in teaching in 2005 and over the years the club has grown to have many more members. It has been wonderful to watch girls blossom from shy toddlers to confident young ladies.
The club has had many successes over the years as well as some disappointments but it continues to grow and prosper because every member strives to do the best that she can, and everyone is rewarded for their efforts.

Teachers
Ann Drury
Head Associate
Ann founded Bonny Hills Physical Culture Club in 2001 and is the most experienced teacher in the entire Hastings area. She has taught all age groups from Preschoolers through to seniors and ladies. She focuses on fun, friendship and good sportsmanship and you can see a part of Miss Ann in all of her students.
Ann has had many years of success including winning teams, National Grand finalists and even National Placegetters, but her greatest achievement would be running a friendly, family orientated club that has more than doubled in size since it opened, and watching all her girls grow in confidence.
Ashley Sargeson
Head Teacher
Ashley has been doing Physie since age 3. She has always loved doing Physie, making new friends, competing both individually and in teams, but her real passion is for teaching Physie. Each year she looks forward to teaching new girls all about Physie and keeping classes fun.
Ashley teaches all age groups from Preschoolers through to seniors and ladies. She enjoys the fun, laughter and smiles of the junior girls, thrives on her senior girls with the challenge of perfecting their years of experience and really loves encouraging the ladies, both beginner and experienced, to embrace the world of Physie and be confident in their own bodies.

Samantha started Physie when she was 5 Years old and is still dancing today in the ladies class. Sam says that Physie has helped her grow both as a person and in confidence.

She is looking forward to helping her daughters and others grown in confidence and achieve new goals.

Bonny Hills teachers professionally encourage my daughter to fine tune her individual abilities, but also recognise the challenge of a team effort. Combine this way of teaching with a happy, fun environment and it becomes a highlight for any girl of any age!" - A Grateful Parent

"Thank you, Miss Ashley, Miss Lisa, Miss Ann and all of the Bonny Hills Physie girls and ladies, for making this an amazing year of Physie, fun, friends and a bit of fizz fuelled frivolity! Coming back to the club has made me feel alive again in a way I haven’t felt in years, and watching my beautiful daughters grow in strength and maturity is a testimony to what this wonderful sport is all about. I am one very proud mumma and one very proud Physie lady!" - Melissa Court

​
My eldest daughter and I joined Bonny Hills Physical Culture Club 7 years ago. From day one Ann ​and Ashley along with their assistant associate teachers, were friendly and welcoming and have provided a very professional and structured environment for learning Physie as well as ensuring lots of fun and laughs. My youngest daughter joined Physie 5 years ago as a pre-schooler and shares the same love for the sport. Ann and Ashley provide lots of encouragement and Physie has definitely helped my girls become more confident as well as the fitness aspect and gaining new friends. All of us absolutely love being part of such a wonderful, friendly club.” – Kelly Madden

“As a teenager, I was introduced to the world of Physie and instantly fell in love with the sport. As the years went on life became busy and as a result, I had a seven-year break. In 2017, I decided to join Bonny Hills Physical Culture Club to see if that love for Physie was still there. Sure enough, it was, and it’s all thanks to the wonderfully welcoming and dedicated teachers and volunteers of the Bonny Hills Club. Ash and Anne are such kind-hearted people, fantastic teachers and lovely friends. I really do feel that Bonny Hills is more than just a Club. The Bonny Hills team really take the time to get to know each individual and support them in every way possible. Whether this be getting fitter, making some new friends or reaching a higher goal. I am proud to be able to say I am a part of the Bonny Hills Physie family and love surrounding myself with the club atmosphere week in and week out.” - Emily Robinson
