11 exciting things to do in Dubai this weekend
Live music, an art exhibition, a spot of African Salsa (Yes, you can move to African beats too!) or a rib-tickling comedy session, we tell how to pack some fun into your weekend!
Rock hard!
You have to agree that there's no better way to experience music than listen to it live! Check out the five-piece band The Distillers tomorrow.

Free Yoga in store
Ladies. Mark your calendar for Saturday for a free, ladies-only yoga session! Natalia Fata will be teaching at Lululemon's store at the City Centre Mirdif, at 8.30am.

Anyone for African Salsa?
Here's a fun-filled dance session that constitutes a great workout! Strangely, you have to move to some non-Latin beats - like African rhythms. Now who wouldn't want to try this novel dance method? At Warehouse Four, Al Quoz today. Call 056 440 60 22
Whip it up!
Get your hands dirty by observing, measuring, experimenting and learning how to whip up some great grub. Expand your culinary potential with these workshops, today at INKED, Alserkal Avenue.

Laugh it out
Time you folks had a good laugh. Stand-ups Ben Norris from BBC's Mock the Week supported by Rich Wilson and Pierre Hollins will tickle you to bits with their witty lines.

Art for you

Eight talented artists from Canada, Germany, Korea, as well as local artists from the UAE, are coming together on Saturday to present some of their fabulous art pieces at an exhibition. At St. Regis Hotel, Habtoor City, Dubai. The best part - entry is absolutely free. Go there!
