Press Clippings and Media Coverage
Monday May 06 09:39 PM EDT A 240-lb. dance instructor has claimed victory in her battle to be a Jazzercise instructor. Jennifer Portnick complained that Jazzercise discriminated against her based on her weight. Portnick's claim was the first of its kind mediated by the San Francisco Human Rights Commission. The commission ruled in Portnick's favor, and now Jazzercise has dropped all instructor weigh restrictions throughout its entire franchise system. "A lot of people are like me," Portnick said. "I'm eating a healthy diet, I'm working out, I should be able to do anything I want to do. And sometimes doors are closed. But the good news is, if we stand up for ourselves, there can be positive social change."
