This weekend, Joanna Rohrback will teach Washington, D.C., how to Prancercise.

Through Living Social, the 61-year-old Florida aerobics innovator will show three groups on Saturday and four on Sunday how to gallop and trot their way to physical fitness. Sorry, it’s too late to sign up.

“I love teaching classes like this because I have the opportunity to really disclose my program in its truest form,” Rohrback said by phone, as she prepared for her first D.C. class. “Not something distorted by the media or by people spoofing or by any other agendas out there. This allows me the way to present it the way it was meant to be presented.

“I love teaching and I hope to do a whole lot more when things calm down a little bit.”

Indeed, since the Internet discovered Rohrback’s joyful Prancercise demonstration video, uploaded last December, in May, she’s been interviewed by several media outlets, made Anderson Cooper giggle on the RidicuList, and was featured in a John Mayer video. She also stars in a new Wonderful Pistachios commercial.

“I didn’t expect to have so many different hats on,” Rohrback said of her fame. “I’m almost like a comedy celebrity, a video celebrity, a television personality, a fitness guru. People are, I guess, somewhat fascinated by me and my program because we’re both so unique. That’s why it got invented by me.”

While Rohrback’s and her program’s unique qualities have earned her many fans (“Everybody I taught loves it,” Rohrback says), it has also opened her up to the cruelest corners of the Internet.

When asked if she ever considered stopping because of the negative reaction, she quickly replied, “Never.”

“I am not ruled by public opinion,” Rohrback said with a laugh. “I create public opinion, that’s the way I look at things. I’m my own person. I’m confident in my own being. And part of the reason I am is because I’ve realized … the greatest form of my own self.”

“I haven’t had children, I’m not married,” she continued. “This is the greatest expression of myself having this program come to life.”

Thankfully, Rohrback said the reaction she’s experienced in person has been completely positive. “I’m constantly asked for photos and autographs,” she said. “Even in D.C. it’s been amazing. Everywhere I go people come up to me, they hug me, they want to learn a step or two. It’s awesome.”

So what’s next for the woman who taught the world to Prancercise? Rohrback said the future may bring more videos, Prancercise teaching certifications and even studios.

“I’m open to the universe whatever it has to offer that’s positive in bringing this program out to the public.”
