Bjelke-Petersen Physical Culture has been established in Australia for 129 years.

But it is not the same as back then, now it is more contemporary and there is a strong dance element.

Bjelke-Petersen Bros. began in 1892 as a medical gymnasium in Hobart started by Hans Christian Bjelke-Petersen, born in Denmark. (Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, former Premier of Queensland, was his nephew but he never had any association with the company.)

The success of the gymnasium spread to Sydney and Melbourne and in the early 1900's the group instruction method of physical culture was developed and taught in many leading colleges in Sydney to boys and girls.
