‘GTM Dance-Walk’ redefines your typical morning-walk with a twist. How often do you get to sashay your way down the road right in front of the former supreme court building? Not to forget the upbeat tunes to kick-start your Sunday morning.
Look no further, get your friends and families to sign up today!
*Pre-registration is not compulsory to participate in this event, but the first 500 people to pre-register will receive Got to Move 2017 T-Shirts.
