J'aime Stratton

The Icon's newest advertiser promises to put you in shape. J'aime Stratton launched Bluffton Jazzercise this week with classes offered in English Lutheran Church, 111 Grove St.

Stratton says Jazzercise is just like it sounds: it's a dance fitness program.

"From 35 to 40 minutes of each session involves aerobics," she said. "And from 20 to 25 minutes includes strength and stretching. We use all types of music to the exercises, which are based in jazz dance, but also offer many moves."
