Based on sound principles of exercise and dance physiology, Junior Jazzercise offers a high-energy workout with an emphasis on physical fitness. Trained instructors teach children that fitness can be fun through current dance moves, games & activities, and discussion about basic nutrition.

A non-competitive atmosphere allows them to have fun and work together.
