Don’t know how to swim or water is just not your element?
Why not give dance fitness a try? Based on simple dance steps, aerobics, and interval exercises, dance fitness such as Zumba and Breakletics can help you to get your fit on and release endorphins even more than a regular workout. Check out our list of the best places to have dance fitness classes in Macau and start moving to the rhythm!
