The Apprentice

I worked a Jazzercise/Make-A-Wish charity event this weekend.

First, let me say that I was completely unaware of the subculture that is Jazzercise. These people have a fantastic time working out. The fun of the whole thing was absolutely sucking us all in throughout the day. I think every volunteer wants to join Jazzercise now!

The event itself involved everyone getting there super-early so they could "stake out their space" in the room. There was a "Jazzercise celebrity" there who taught two classes. He was really good. We watched. They also have Jazzercise clothing that we quickly figured out is a requirement for the dedicated Jazzerciser. I was totally taking notes on everything for my upcoming joining of a group near me.

It looks like anyone can join in at any fitness level and get a good, fun workout. Many people there had either been with Jazzercise for 20+ years or their mom was a Jazzerciser back in the day.

Anyway, while we were there, someone introduced me to a girl named Roxanne. I instantly thought, "Where do I know her from?" We talked for a minute and she left to do her thing, and I still couldn't place her. Later I found out she is Roxanne from "The Apprentice." Ah ha! That was it. She's a Make-A-Wish spokesperson after participating in a wish on the show. That's pretty cool.
