Flash mob surprise at festival
Over 50 dancers from Brisbane Water United Physie Club surprised the Ettalong Beach Festival with a flash mob dance on Sunday, March 17.
Visitors looked on as children located around the festival spontaneously began to dance to modern music playing from a portable loud speaker.
The energetic dance lasted for several minutes and ended in the children casually walking back to their family and friends while onlookers applauded.
Brisbane Water United Physie founder Ms Lee-Anne Allan said she thought the Ettalong Festival would be a great opportunity to spread the word about physical culture.
"Physie is an excellent sport for children who want to learn to dance.
"The routines are modern, based on hip hop, ballet and different styles of dance.
"The kids have fun and it also helps them to stay fit," said Ms Allan.
Ms Woodward, whose daughter Halle performed at the Ettalong Festival, said she liked the confidence that Halle had gained since starting physie.
"She has learnt heaps about dance and it has improved her confidence," Mrs Woodward said.
