Ms. Pham Thi Nhung, the Chairwoman of the Women's Union of Yen Tri commune, says: "Exercises are frequently changed, diversified to avoid boredom. Since its establishment, we have received many positive feedbacks from the members, everyone's health, fitness, and spirit have been gradually improved. In addition to the practice time, in the free time the people freely share sad and happy stories in life. Thereby, the members have become more attached, united, and they have together made the club more and more develop. Now, the club has become a funny, healthy and useful playground for many members.”
Although it is not as popular as some other sports such as volleyball, soccer, badminton ..., with the positive and practical benefits, in the coming time, fitness dancing will increasingly attract more and more people to participate and it will become an ideal sport, a funny and healthy playground for the middle and the elderly.
