So I was setting up a staged class for a video shoot for a local SF bay area TV station and I get an e-mail from the SF Weekly and they wanted to come do a shoot too but they were kind of vague about why they wanted to come. I thought, "Why not have them both come at the same time?" Today I found out that I won "Best Aerobics Alternative (2008)". :)

Best Aerobics Alternative (2008)
Bombshell Betty Dance Burlesquercise

Tired of the gym? Yawning at yoga? If your workout routine needs a little oomph and maybe even a dose of va-va-voom, get off the treadmill and slap on those pasties. Bombshell Betty is the eponymous shimmy-shaker who leads gaggles of women — from shy coeds to brassy grandmas — to hot bods and greater confidence, sans the sweat and ogling crowds. This ain't just boa-fluffy stripper aerobics. As titillating as the moves can be, Betty's bump 'n' grind warm-ups and rigorous cancan routines will add to soreness in muscle groups you never knew you had. And if you want to go beyond merely gyrating your way to better gams, you can put all that knowledge on performance and persona building to good use and join Bombshell Betty's all-inclusive Burlesqueteers, who are responsible for spreading their leader's implicit message that exercising and nourishing your inner pinup idol shouldn't be mutually exclusive.
