Middletown >> The community is invited to join the party at Lake County Jazzercise on Wednesday as the business celebrates the 10th anniversary of the first Jazzercise class in Lake County.
The festivities will begin with a team-taught Jazzercise class from 4 to 5 p.m. featuring Jazzercise routines from 2006 to 2015. “Happy Hour” begins at 5 p.m. with sparkling wine, sparkling cider, appetizers, a running slideshow, a raffle and a ribbon cutting at 5:30 p.m. by the Lake County Chamber of Commerce.
Happy Hour is open to everyone — no reservation needed — and come as you are. Because space is limited, participants must have a reservation for the class. If needed, a second class will be offered from 6 to 7 p.m.
The 10th anniversary party also features a special $10 Jazzercise sign-up offer that is available only at the Lake County Jazzercise Fitness Center during the celebration. For more details or to make a reservation for the 10th anniversary class, call or email Beth Rudiger, (707) 260-2900, beth@lcjazz.com.
On Jan. 6, 2006 Rudiger, a certified Jazzercise instructor, taught the first Jazzercise class in Lake County at Tyrell Martial Arts in Hidden Valley Lake to six customers. During the following years, Lake County Jazzercise moved to the community center of Hidden Valley Lake, the social hall of the Middletown Methodist Church, the now-defunct P.A.C.K. Center and, finally, in September of 2009, into its own studio space at 15642 Armstrong St. in Middletown. Class offerings grew from six classes per week to a high of 32 classes per week.
Now, classes are taught by seven Jazzercise instructors who work with Rudiger: Marla Drake, Keri Griffin, Brenda Breeden, Stephanie Diehl, Jamie McDowell, Ronda Backlin and Clattie Skiles. Past Jazzercise instructors included MaryGrace McMahon, Reikor Deacon, Amanda Boman, April Fenk and Shaylah Hunt. The current pricing and class schedule can be found at www.lcjazz.com.
