Whether you are a novice, a seasoned dance enthusiast or a fitness freak, you will certainly want to jump into the African groove as it engages most of your core muscles, including arms, waist, hips, legs and various other muscles in your body. "At Celebrity Fitness Malaysia, we firmly believe that a great workout is about experiencing the exceptional, and hence, we believe that our members will definitely benefit from the addition of Kukuwa African Dance classes into our fitness schedules – no longer does one need to travel all the way to Africa to learn the African dances... you can now pick up some exotic African moves by popping in to the nearest Celebrity Fitness outlet," said Krishnan Malhotra, country group fitness manager of Celebrity Fitness Malaysia. The founder and the creator of Kukuwa African Dance, Kukuwa Nuamah, made a special appearance during the launch in Celebrity Fitness Cheras Sentral Mall and showcased a few Kukuwa African Dance steps with her daughter and a group of Celebrity Fitness instructors.

To top it off, she has been endorsed by Oprah in O magazine. From her study of African "soukous", Latin "merengue" and Carribean "socca" over the years, she came up with the unique steps of Kukuwa African Dance. Kris added: "Kukuwa African Dance is certainly a different twist for Malaysians. Many will be surprised with the intensity and excitement of this new dance workout, and perhaps may even be curious to find out more about African dance."
