Klezmer Aerobics has been featured in the select guide to cultural events (Spare Times) in the Weekend Arts section of the New York Times. From the Times:

If you’ve ever danced at a Jewish wedding and thought you had a great workout, you might be interested in this free interactive family performance. Geared to children 5 and older, it features Daniel Brenner, a rabbi, storyteller and aerobics instructor, who will be engaging audiences with a tale about a dancer, the Old Badchen, and his apprentice, Levi. Presented by Art Kibbutz, a Jewish artists group with summer studios on Governors Island, it will be accompanied by lively klezmer music and plenty of movement.
