How we work out: Dancematic Fitness

Four times a week at Millbrook Community Hall in Pikesville, the overhead lights are dimmed, the disco lights go on, the music starts and Dancematic Fitness gets the party started. Created by Patrick Parker, who leads each class from a stage at the end of the room so participants can easily see him, this is an hourlong workout that participants say is fun and addictive. And, they add, they're getting results.
