💛Meet your Instructor Annette💙
My Jazzercise journey began in 1982 after my first child was born, when my sister-in-law brought me to a class in Metairie. I instantly fell in love with the music, dancing, fitness, and the positive energy. After years as a student and class manager, I became a certified instructor in 1994 after attending workshop in Atlanta.
Over the years, I taught in Kenner and Metairie, owned a center in LaPlace, and later owned Metairie Jazzercise Center for 10 wonderful years. The friendships, support, and loyal students made it an incredibly fulfilling part of my life.
In 2013, during my husband Gregg’s courageous battle with cancer, I stepped down as owner to focus on him. After his passing, Jazzercise and my Jazzercise family helped carry me through one of the hardest times of my life.
In 2016, I returned to Atlanta to get recertified and happily returned to teaching at Metairie Jazzercise Center, where I continue to teach today. In 2019, I met the second love of my life, Dominick, and we married in 2023. Together we share a beautiful blended family with my son and daughter, his daughter, and six wonderful grandchildren.
Jazzercise has always been more than a workout to me — it’s a loving, supportive community that truly becomes family. I’m forever grateful for the joy, strength, and friendships it has brought into my life. ❤️
