A group in Miami has found an unconventional way of helping people cope with grief and trauma.

Alessandro de Palma from the NewsHours Journalism Training Program student reporting labs has the story.

Hey, let's go!

Now, it's very hot, hop!

Hello, everyone. I'm Sharon.

I've been attending now and I love it.

I take a lot from it.

It's a safe space.

I lost my daughter at the age of 32 and last year I lost my husband to long cancer.

Sharon Johnson is one of the many people working through their trauma with each step of this line dancing class.

I was going through a lot of grief. I didn't know how to deal with it.

I didn't know where to put the feelings I was feeling. I didn't know how to cope with it.

Some of the things that even my grief counselor suggested was finding a hobby.

Once I found out about the line dancing, I thought that would be somewhere because I can

express myself. The things that I can't talk about, I can express it through dance.

The classes are run by the Circle of Brotherhood, a non-profit organization based in Liberty City, Miami, a neighborhood which has historically seen high crime rates.

Their goal is to help people dealing with grief and trauma, including victims of gun violence or those like Sharon, coping with any kind of pain and loss.

I've seen people line dance going to parties or clubs and seeing them do it.

It was intimidating at first, but it turned out to be just what I needed.

Every Wednesday and Saturday, Coach Darrell Thomas can be seen groving to the music. Dance kicking therapy is the community coming to relieve their stresses, their traumas through lion dancing.

This room will pack out real quick.

It's going to be a lot of participation from the young to the young at heart.
