The Mayor's Wellness Campaign was a new, state-wide initiative being introduced in Nutley, NJ during the 2006-2007 school year, and is designed to motivate the township's children to get physically active by promoting good health.
It is Mayor Cocchiola's "priority to bring quality programs that promote public health and awareness to the community in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle for those of all ages."
Reach Out, Inc. applauds and thanks Mayor Joanne Cocchiola & the township of Nutley for reaching out & actively promoting DANCE FOR HEALTH in Nutley, NJ!
*Special thanks to: Starlight Dance, Melandre Salon, La Beaute, One Human Performance, Liz Young Studio, Turbowitz Design, Dr. Don Lapine, JAMBOX Studio, DreamMakers Music, and 95.5 WPLJ's DJ JAMIE LEE!
With special thanks to the creators of DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION-"the video game series that allows youth to jump, step and twist their way into shape". Mayor Joanne provided the video games, dance pads, and pedometers to do it! School are supplementing traditional physical activity with Dance Dance Revolution in more than a few states across the country. Students stand on dance pads, listen to music, and follow the visual prompts on the television screen. Research has shown improvements in heart health and self-esteem in addition to weight loss for students who dance to the video game series. Overall, Dance Dance Revolution is both entertaining and challenging for boys and girls alike & accommodates the video game lifestyle of youth while fighting the couch potato routine of today.
