“Firstly and foremost our group of ladies are all so welcoming, supportive and we are of all ages. My first year in any dance group ever, being a shy person for years, I have now grown confidence in myself and being around such beautiful ladies and just being a part of a team had made me grow as a person. I have enjoyed every minute of it and look forward to the future with Lakeview Physie!”
