Embrace your body through dance
When you’re able to enjoy the music, that’s amazing. When you’re able to understand the lyrics, that’s meaningful. But when you’re able to take the music and work with it to your best advantage...that’s powerful. Kosolu Ananti, a rhythmic dancing queen, founded afrikoPOP Fitness in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, after a personal tragedy in 2016. Kosolu saw how good it felt to embrace your body through dance, and since then she’s been creating exhilarating and creative workouts for her classes. Kosolu’s number one mantra for affirmation? It’s a simple, yet powerful, one: “I am enough.” You surely are! We’d love to introduce you to Kosolu, Queen of afrikoPOP!
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I had the idea to create afrikoPOP two years before I started it. It was after the death of my first born son that made me finally create afrikoPOP in 2016. afrikoPOP fitness combines modern west African dance moves with body sculpting exercises set to an afropop beat. What keeps me going is how I feel when I create a workout and the people that come to my class.
