How to Become a Jazzercise Instructor

Jazzercise is a dance fitness program that combines jazz dance, resistance training, kickboxing and other forms of movement into a cardiovascular and body-strengthening workout. Instructors are franchise owners and are responsible not only for teaching the 60-minute classes, but also for building the business. Jazzercise is an international franchise with a network of more than 7,500 instructors, who teach more than 32,000 classes weekly in 32 countries around the world.
