Dancers made a song and dance to help sick Oxfordshire children.
About 40 women joined a two-hour sponsored Zumbathon at Kidlington Sports Centre yesterday.
The Zumba is a high-energy get-fit dance which combines Salsa, Cha-cha, Calypso, Flamenco and Bollywood styles.
The fundraisers collected more than £400 for the Oxford’s Childrens’ Hospital.
Vicky Hahn led the dances alongside fellow instructors George Martini and Rebekah Robertshaw between 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
Mrs Hahn, of North Leigh, said: “Most people managed to get through the whole two hours.
“There was high energy and lots of screaming and shouting, but that is what it’s all about – it’s like a carnival.”
People can also raise cash for the hospital at this year’s OX5 Run, at Blenheim Palace, on April 18.
