I freaking LOVE Jazzercise. It was one of the first exercise classes that I ever went to (when I was 18) and it has been my fav hands down since then. I have even taught kickboxing and I still like Jazz better!
Brook - I am going to be an instructor as well. I was asked a couple years ago at my old Jazzercise, but I was too scared. I am ready now.
For anyone that is considering trying it out, just know that the classes vary depending on where you go. In my hometown, there is a huge Jazzercise group, the instructors are all different ages, and they worked you HARD.
I moved for a year and the Jazzercise there was...well....the ladies all had bright tights on with legg warmers and leotards that went up their a$$ - I kid you not! I went to a morning class there, which I guess catered to the "mature folks" and they booed me right out of the class! I was used to such higher intensity so I really pushed my self.
The good thing is that if you go to the main web site and do a search, there is usually a class every 15 - 20 miles or so from each other. So you can try them all and see which class fits your fitness level.
Queenbee- Good luck to you and I hope you are still going to class!!
