It targets all muscles, including core/stabilizing muscle groups, for a full aerobic and strength-training workout disguised in the fun, exciting, and body and soul stimulating manner that defines African dance. An aerobic dance-fitness program, ASA! Allows participants to improve cardiovascular capacity, burn calories, improve overall fitness and HAVE FUN!!!
