Danita Martin
Danita was born and raised right here in Anchorage. She was first certified as a Jazzercise instructor in Denver, Colorado in 1990 and taught at K.I.Sawyer AFB in Upper Michigan after moving there with her husband in 1991. Making the journey back to Alaska in 1992, Danita then took a break from teaching to focus on her young children. Re-certified in 1998, she’s been a mainstay at the Jazzercise Oceanview Center - originally at 9:30 am and now bright and early at 6 am since accepting a full-time position with the State of Alaska. Besides Jazzercise, Danita enjoys making cards, hiking and camping. |

Myley Rosenbaum
Myley became a Jazzercise instructor the first time in 1997 and taught for three years while living in Yorktown, VA. After a few years’ break and a move to Anchorage, she re-certified in November of 2006. Originally from Maryland, Myley had made moving an art form in support of her husband’s Air Force career until they felt the ‘call of the wild’ and decided to make Alaska their permanent home. Aside from Jazzercise, Myley enjoys such Alaskan pastimes as camping and fishing. She’s also a geek at heart, as evidenced by her LOTRFN (Lord of the Rings fan) license plate, and hopes one day she’ll get to meet Ricky Martin in person. Myley teaches Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:30 am, in addition to Tuesdays at 4:45 pm. |
