African Dance Workout Background
Africa has a rich history of dance dating back centuries.
The continent’s many tribes each developed their own unique styles of dance, which were used in ceremonies like weddings, as part of religious rituals, and to pass on stories from generation to generation.

Dance remains an important part of African tradition today, and it has even made its way into fitness in the form of upbeat, rhythmic routines.
If you need a little energy boost at the start of your day or mid-afternoon, give this set a try.
