They are dancing the same song throughout the day and so said they will all be fed up of hearing it by the end of the day.

“If anyone wants to join in with us they are welcome to come down,” she said. She hoped some of the dancers coming along to classes from 3.30pm will join in too.

The moves are coming very naturally at least, with the dancers all knowing them since childhood. Fellow teacher Rachael Nel said the legs and feet are really the parts that are really aching at the end of her session.
