About Us
Hunters Hill Physie is a not-for-profit Club that provides exercise and dance classes to girls and ladies of all abilities aged from 3 years and above.
Founded in 2006 the club has grown significantly throughout its 18 year history and, under the guidance of founder Kate Stanton, cemented its position as the #1 EP Physie club, producing multiple championship team trophies and numerous Grand Champions.
In 2021 Kate made the decision to move the club to BJP in order to further extend herself and her members - and hasn't looked back!
Hunters Hill Physie members become part of an extended Physie family who dance for fun but are encouraged to work hard to achieve their goals in a supportive and nurturing environment, with members being proud of their association.
If you're thinking of joining Physie or have any questions we would love to hear from you. Please call Kate on 0412 007 204.

Meet the Team
Kate Stanton
Club Founder, Head Coach
Kate formalised her love for Physie in 2006 by opening HHPC, with overall responsibility for the Club, and teaching involvement across all age groups.
Kate is a 3 times Champion Lady, having won State titles in 2012, 2013 and again in 2018 when she came out of retirement to share the Grand stage with her two daughters, who also both won their sections that same year. Along with producing multiple Grand Champions and winning numerous team championships, it remains her most memorable career highlight to date.
Kate is passionate about her club, and her teaching philosophy revolves around providing a supportive and positive environment for her members that nurtures and promotes personal growth and development.
