On Saturday, October 3, 2026, Accra will welcome a free community Zumba and wellness dance session led by Ms Ama Kwakye, the reigning African Most Beautiful USA Queen. The event, titled “Zumba with Ama,” will kick off with a five‑kilometre run at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium before moving to the Dansoman Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑Day Saints for the dance session.
Ms Kwakye, a certified Zumba instructor and founder of the wellness brand AmaKaye, said the initiative aims to create an inclusive environment where people can enjoy music, movement and social interaction while improving their physical and mental well‑being. She noted that dance is one of the most effective ways to bring people together, regardless of age, fitness level or background.
“Workouts Heal You,” she explained, a philosophy that underpins her lifestyle and wellness brand. The program is intended to relieve stress, build social connections and showcase the benefits of exercise in a fun, engaging atmosphere.
As a Ghanaian American, Ms Kwakye expressed excitement about reconnecting with local communities and encouraging more people, especially women and young people, to incorporate physical activity into their daily routines.
The event is expected to attract fitness enthusiasts, young people and members of the public seeking healthy recreational activities. Participants will have the opportunity to experience a free, community‑focused wellness event that blends entertainment with health promotion.
