Masse has been teaching 20 of her 23 Jazzercise years at the Tustin Area Senior Center and has participated in the Tiller Days parade for 18 consecutive years. “I like to support the community in all its events,” said Masse, “the crowd loves us and we can feel that energy too! They can see that Jazzercise is for everyone – all shapes, ages and fitness levels – and we’re having fun doing it.”

The workout program, which offers a fusion of jazz dance, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, and kickboxing movements, has positively affected millions of people worldwide. Benefits include increased cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility, as well as an overall "feel good" factor.
