Afro-Beat Praise and Worship Dance for Wellbeing

It is what it says on the tin - it's all about dance, the music is afro-beat, you can't help worshipping, and it does you good. It's about friendship, fun, confidence-building, and fitness too. And if you can stop yourself smiling and laughing, you're a real Scrooge character. Some people 'dance' sitting down - whatever size, shape, age or fitness level, you can join in. Why don't you?
