Pasifika elders fight obesity and loneliness with Zumba | RNZ

Every weekday at noon, a hundred people gather in the middle of Mangere's town centre, dressed in colourful hats and shirts for an hour-long dance class led by an instructor on stage.
The free Zumba classes started in 2013 as part of a plan to get people moving in their older age and keep diabetes at bay - and they are still going strong.
As well as helping them to keep fit and healthy, the exercise-dance classes stave off loneliness.
"I come here because it makes me happy and I will see my friends," one dancer said.
