ABOUT JAZZERCISE

Jazzercise combines elements of jazz dance, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, kick-boxing, and more
 to create truly effective programs for people of every age and fitness level. Increase your muscle tone, 
flexibility, balance, strength, and endurance using easy-to-follow movements.
Each 60-minute class follows a perceived exertion curve.

 CARDIO

Following the warm-up segment, dance your way through high-energy aerobic routines sure to get your blood pumping.  Strengthen your heart and lungs, increase your endurance, decrease stress, and burn calories…
and oh yeah, put a smile on your face.

STRENGTH

Strengthen and tone all of those important areas in the Jazzercise muscle-toning segment. Focus on specific muscles with additional intensity by using hand-held or wrap weights.

STRETCH

At the end of each class, the cool-down stretch segment will help you elongate your muscles to increase flexibility, return your heart rate to normal, and prepare you for whatever awaits you on the other side of the door.

GETTING STARTED

Before beginning any new exercise program, Jazzercise recommends that you check with your physician.  Arrive at our location 15 minutes before class to register. You'll receive our Workout Guide, which contains tips and additional information about Jazzercise. Wear comfortable clothing that does not restrict your movements. Many prefer bike shorts and a T-shirt. A good aerobic shoe is highly recommended.

WHAT ARE THE INSTRUCTOR CREDENTIALS?

Each Jazzercise instructor is professionally trained and certified by Jazzercise, Inc.  All instructors are CPR certified and receive continuing education in all aspects of dance and exercise physiology.  Instructors' training curriculum and course materials are consistent with the AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America) Basic Standards and Guidelines.
