“A fun, slimming trend”

“Once you get past the fear factor of learning a new style of dance in a room full of strangers, South Asian–inspired dance is a really fun way to tone up and slim down while learning a few moves that are sure wow your loved ones at the next wedding or holiday party. For best results, practice the dance moves three times each week and always make sure to stretch first.”
