Actress Priyanka Chopra taught Bollywood dance to African children during a visit here as UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador.

The 34-year-old actress visited Johannesburg and neighbouring Zimbabwe to help raise awareness about violence against children in the continent as a part of the organisation's campaign.

Priyanka took to Instagram where she shared a video in which she is seen shaking a leg with the kids.

"After they taught me their dance moves, I showed them one of mine... it's called the "thumka" #DanceParty #EndViolence #UNICEF #thistimeforafrica #SafePark," wrote Priyanka.

The kids tried to match their steps with her.

My start to a beautiful morning before ending an amazingly insightful trip. This is an Isibindi ("courage" in Zulu) Safe Park. The parks and program are all about prevention and early intervention to protect children from the HIV/AIDS crisis and many other vulnerabilities that can lead to violence in South Africa..The volunteer child and youth care workers (CYCW) help create a safe environment for children to play and be counseled in a controlled and protected environment. The National association of child and youth care workers (NACCW) is responsible for training almost 10,000 CYCWs and deliver services to almost 1.4 million children in SA..These workers connect with the children on a personal level, in their homes and in the park, and involve themselves in their daily life events like homework, household chores, and family issues. They use ordinary human interaction to feed these children teach them life skills and take care of the emotional needs of children -especially in child headed and parent less families. I've never seen so much commitment on such a personal level. I salute them u00f0u009fu0099u008fu00f0u009fu008fu00bb
