Jazzercise
Wow!! What an incredible two years it’s been for Jazzercise of Dallas. When Carin Kirk-Norton became a Certified Jazzercise Instructor in the summer of 2006, she was just looking for something fun to supplement her income as a single mother of two teenagers. She had been a Jazzercise customer for 6 months when one of her instructors approached her about becoming an instructor herself. Now she was getting the opportunity to share her passion for dancing and getting a great workout with others.
Carin had aspirations of opening her own Jazzercise center but wasn’t quite sure when, where or how. In March of 2007 her plans took a new turn. She met and began working for her now husband, Darryl, a resident of New Hope. As she began spending more and more time in Paulding County, she realized that something was missing…Jazzercise. She began teaching classes inside a baseball training facility in the Paulding Plaza in June of 2008. Within two months, her customer base had grown so much that she had to add more classes and needed more space. In August, she moved into a larger space within the same shopping center. Today, she offers 11 classes a week and, in September 2010, she will be adding more classes and introducing a new instructor.
“The onset of FALL is going to be very exciting”, says Carin. “That’s when everyone gets back into their routines and life gets back to normal for summertime vacationers. They also start to think about the holidays and New Year’s resolutions. “Many people will be looking for something to do that will get them in better shape and they’re going to want it to be convenient and fun”, she says, “or they won’t stick with it. That’s what’s going to get them the results they will be looking for in the first couple of weeks so they will stay motivated to keep doing it. Also, I am adding classes to give my customers more opportunities to workout more often.”
So what is Jazzercise anyway? Jazzercise is a 60-minute class incorporating cardio, strength, and stretch moves for a total body workout. We’ve taken moves from hip-hop, yoga, Pilates, kick-boxing, and resistance training with light weights and exer-tubes and bundled them into one fun-filled hour. All ages, levels, and sizes welcome.
