Jazzercise

Rhythmic fitness program

Jazzercise is a fitness program combining aerobic exercise with jazz dance movements, typically performed to upbeat music in group classes.

The trademarked name has become somewhat generic for any dance-based workout: My mom did Jazzercise in the eighties.

The word evokes a particular era of leotards, leg warmers, and bouncy choreography.
