Thailand's Health Ministry says it will train women to do breast exercises as an alternative to restoring to ill-fitting bras. The ministry plans to launch a troupe of dancers on Valentine's Day who will show how to improve their bust lines. 

The announcement follows a study commissioned by the ministry which suggested that many foreign-designed bras are not appropriate for Thai women and could be leading to deformities. 

Most Thai women were so influenced by images of well-endowed women in the media that they feel inadequate without awareness of wearing inappropriate and lack of regularly exercises. Consequently, bosom-firming dance is initiated to help women's dream come true. The 12 trained instructors will teach women how to take care their breast properly with the dance lesson which will begin at the state-run sports centers on 14th February.
