These photos were taken at the newest physie club to open in Melbourne, the Elsternwick Club, during their “Physie Photo Shoot”. Says teacher Kathryn, “the girls loved getting dressed up, doing their hair and makeup and trying on the new leotards for the camera. It was a fun way to show them how we dress for physie.”
Elsternwick is in east Melbourne, just south of St Kilda, and the club recently opened with 13 students. None of the girls had done physie before but have taken to it like a duck to water. “They are really enjoying coming to class, learning their physie and they are improving rapidly – I can see the change every week. And, of course, their favourite routine in the Dance!” Who’s isn’t?
We wish Elsternwick the best of luck as they grow this year!
