About the author

The book was created by Jazzercise's founder, Judi Sheppard Missett, who developed the system in 1969 and built it into a recognizable brand by the time of this publication. Missett's background in theatrical dance and fitness instruction shaped the original pedagogy that distinguishes this manual from later, more aerobics-focused iterations of the brand.
