The dance club combines a number of styles from hip hop and ballet to jazz and even yoga, working to empower the women of Wagga and beyond.
Wagga branch founder and teacher Kerrie Baker said the growth within the club was really starting to show.
"We've been through a few generations now, we're up to granddaughters," she said.
"It is a sport women can do for a long time."
The 'Physie' teacher began practicing the sport at just four years of age, becoming a teach at 17 before launching the Wagga club.
Over the 35 years, Ms Baker said there had been numerous highlights stored in the memory bank.
"We had a big concert for our 10 year anniversary which was really exciting, and then on a more grand scale our association, Bjelke-Petersen School of Physical Culture, celebrated their 125th anniversary which a dozen of our girls got to be a part of," she said.
"I think the best part is watching everyone do their best and achieve so much."
While still keen to get hands on in the class, Ms Baker is handing over part of the reins to 16-year-old Amber McGettigan this year as she begins teaching students herself.
"I'm going into my 14th year doing Physie, I started at 3," the young talent said.
"I love the friendships you make and knowing I get to go to class and have fun is always really rewarding, but I'm really excited to start teaching and have a new perspective on how the dance style works."
