AN hour-long Bollywood dance-a-thon session will amaze audiences in Coventry tonight.

The event, run by the city-based creative arts organisation Gener-8, will use a combination of Bollywood and bhangra music to promote community arts and healthy exercise in Coventry.

Dancers of all abilities are invited to show off their moves at St Paul's Church in Foleshill Road non-stop from 7pm to 8pm, although the pace will vary throughout the hour.

The session is perfect for beginners and anyone who has never attended a session like this before.

When I came to Coventry many moons ago,
Factories were booming and people were on the go,
There was so much to do and see and folk were kind and true,
Nothing ever got them down,they were never blue.
Though times were hard, life was not bad,
And folk found time to care,
Work got done and there was time for play,
And time for fun at the fair.
