our story
Jazzercise Founder Judi Sheppard Missett started the dance fitness revolution in 1969 before women could open a credit card in their own name. As a professional dancer, she created a unique exercise program born from the spirit of dance but responding to women's desire to find a fun and effective way to get and stay fit. Jazzercise was the FIRST boutique dance fitness program that took the 80s and 90s by storm in a male-dominated industry. Today, thousands of Jazzercise classes are taught weekly in 16 countries. You can also bring the dance party home with the digital fitness platform Jazzercise On Demand.

"I started going to Jazzercise for a fun evening away from my desk and house and found that I have more stamina, feel stronger, and lost weight. Though I exercised regularly before, I wasn't seeing results and felt run down. I look forward to Jazzercise; I'm not dragging myself to a workout."
–Cindy L.
"Jazzercise has changed my life in so many ways. As an autistic person, it has helped my balance, motor skills, and technique. Jazzercise is hard, but I love it because it is a full-body workout!"
–Spencer R.
“I love the whole vibe. I love the music, and the people are amazing. The instructors and other attendees are so kind and motivating. You will never feel rejected or excluded. Before Jazzercise, I tried to exercise regularly, but it was hard and painful. Now, I am down 38 lbs, 6 pant sizes!”
