WHEN was the last time you danced? As parties, gigs and club nights have been off the cards for almost a year, for many, online dance classes have fulfilled that craving to let loose and blow off steam in lockdown. JP Omari has been running a unique dance fitness class in Brighton for almost seven years. FunkFit uses funk, soul, disco and Motown hits to create a party atmosphere as “Funk Master” JP leads the class with improvised moves, often bouncing around a room lit with disco lights, enthusiastically bellowing “Energy!” as dancers of all ages follow his lead.
