7. Bossa Nova beat

I dance around my living room to Brazilian Bossa Nova as part of my morning Physical Therapy.
The beat is so happy.
There are Bossa Nova covers on You tube.

Simple 3 step forward with a little hip action.
Great for balance.
A wonderful way to start your day.

And I am an older fella now with a couple of arthritic knees but I still keep on tryin'.
Incidentally, the song guaranteed to get people off their butts and dancing around has to be '"Whammer Jammer" by J Geil's band . If that song doesn't get a person moving, check their pulse.
