Many British don’t get enough exercise and are overweight. The government wants to combat that with dance courses.Many British would rather munch sweets and fried food in front of the TV than get exercise. And they have girths that show it. Now the Health MInister wants to launch a 10-year plan to turn them all into athletes. He's asked them to dance. The background seems to be the popular television series "Strictly come dancing", in which stars pair off for fox trots, tangos, and waltzes with professional dancers.
