Gymkhana, now open 24 hours daily, launched an Indian dance class, Bhangra, on Tuesday at the Hilton Kingston Jamaica.

Classes for the traditional Indian folk dance will run twice per week at the gym, on Mondays and Saturdays. The cocktail reception to mark the event, featured a dance number with Bhangra instructor Gopa and dancers from the Anjale School of dance. It was a mixture of traditional Indian moves with a little Jamaican flavour.
