Shake, shimmy and groove to the soulful rhythms of Africa, led by Jenny Bloomfield and accompanied with live drumming by Simon Elwell and African Beats NZ.

Bring water and come ready to have fun!

The cost is $10 per class if you enrol for the term ($100 for 10 classes) or $15 per class individually.
