    What do you get when you take the conditioning of Aerobics, Modern Dance, African dance, and fuse it with the beat of live percussions? Afrobics, The Ultimate dance fitness workout. Afrobics is a dance fitness concept that combines Modern, African Movements to the beat of live acoustic percussion instrumentation. Afrobics has the entire essential workout elements of Aerobics and African dance mixed into one fun workout. It also concentrates not only on physical fitness but overall wellness of mind, body, and spirit; conveying harmonious messages of unity and wellness while nurturing a sense of community through dance. “Afrobics encourages students to get fit while promoting a sense of self-wellness and inner-creativity through the liberation of dance. Anytime you have the sound of the drum, there is not one that can stand still. What better way to workout than the dancing to the beat of the drum”, says Corey Davis, founder of Afrobics Memphis. “Afrobics is rooted in West African Dance and incorporates dances mainly from the African Diaspora. It is as culturally rich and diverse as the people from the African Diaspora”, says Afrobics Instructor, N’Seeka MacPherson. This is a great class for beginners or dancers of all ages and races looking for an alternative workout.
