Body be good was founded in 1999 by gene and debra bono. Debra, a dancer, is certified by AFAA and ace and has been a continuing ed provider for those organizations. Gene is a professional musician skilled on keyboards and writes the music for all the videos.
They established and provided master classes and workshops in afro caribbean style step/bench classes (debra as clinician and gene on live percussion) when debra decided to create a new class for a local gym. Debra believes that using full body movements associated with dance will doubly satisfy as a complete fitness workout. Firstly, the workouts initiate muscle activation in multiple planes and often underused areas and secondly, allowing the fun factor of dancing to help eliminate or diminish boredom.
