Jazzercise, the world’s leading dance fitness program, is offering free dance fitness classes the week of Sept. 23-29, no strings attached.
New customers are invited to pick one free day of their choice to try Jazzercise in Middletown.

“Walk into a Jazzercise class on any given day and you could hear Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift,” said local Jazzercise instructor, Beth Rudiger. “It's this variety of music mixed with current dance movements that make Jazzercise feel more like a girl’s night out than a workout.”
For those who have never attended a Jazzercise class, Jazzercise instructors ensure customers don’t miss a beat with step-by-step instruction and technique tips.
New customers can learn the basic moves at home by going to www.jazzercise.com and clicking “Learn the Moves.”
