I am the mayor of Jazzercise (Noe Valley) on Foursquare. FIT IS IT!!
That’s Judi Sheppard Missett, inventor of JAZZERCISE, and if SNL did a sketch about her using the JAZZERCISE name there’s a decent chance she’d sue; Judi Sheppard Missett is extremely protective of the JAZZERCISE brand. Honestly I’m surprised anything JAZZERCISE-related is on YouTube at all, considering how extensive her copyrights are.
Also: whenever you read, say, or think JAZZERCISE, you have to imagine the big serif-y logo with the stars dotting the j and the i, like this.
Ask me sometime about having to perform JAZZERCISE routines on stage at a park during my little town’s annual summertime Flower Festival. JAZZERCISE got a top spot (1 on Saturday afternoon, right after the parade!) because the demos were so popular! Of course now I realize it was because it was, you know, this video but with more ladies, which people love to watch! But as a 10-year-old whose mother insisted on her participation despite her repeated protests (in massive-screaming-fit form)? It totally puzzled me why anyone watched. I had to watch all the time and it was THE WORST.
O JAZZERCISE.
