Prancercise guru and founder Joanna Rohrback can tell just by looking at your face whether or not you possess the skillset and internal spirit necessary to master the graceful fitness art she's been fine-tuning since 1989. Or at least that what the announcer conducting the Prancercise live demonstration and contest at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek last night told us.

By now, you're probably familiar with the springy walk-dance routine and all its variants, and surely you've ascertained it does in fact require a certain finesse.

We all thought it was a joke, but by now it's probably safe to say Joanna Rohrback's getting the last laugh. Who needs a web redemption when you have soft pop-rock god John Mayer commissioning you to star in his music videos?

Over the last five months, the world has fallen in love with local gal and Prancercise founder, whose ever-so-tight, ever-so-baggy white pant-leggings, angelic voice, and majestic fitness dance moves have become the subject of countless blog posts, memes, and TV spots.

And apparently, John Mayer is no exception.

Get ready to prance like a show pony!

Internet sensation and sex icon Joanna Rohrback is bringing her trademark workout, Prancercise live to Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.

Hot to trot and ready to stroll, Rohrback describes her exercise as a "springy, rhythmic way of moving forward, similar to a horse's gait and ideally induced by elation." Sure you'll have Equus flashbacks, but this mama's gallop will also make you a little tight in the pants. Boner City.

The sun beats down on the concrete and lifeless buildings right outside of Las Olas in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The least likely place anyone would suspect to find five strangers who stopped being polite and started getting real.

The truth of the matter is that all of those actual strangers standing in line are nice enough and fantastically unreal -- two concepts that go seamlessly hand in hand in Fort Lauderdale where, despite being the Sunshine State, it often seems like ninety-nine percent of the time, only one percent of the population have real tans.

Back in 2006, the Miami Heat's crowd won the team the championship. The Heat were down two games to zero against the Dallas Mavericks, when the series came to Miami.

The Mavericks were up by thirteen in the fourth quarter when Dwyane Wade went bananas and gave the Heat the lead, but Dallas' sharpshooting forward Dirk Nowitzki had a chance to tie the game with two free throws when the crowd stepped in. "Da-vid Hassel-hoff." They chanted. "Da-vid Hassel-hoff!" Nowitzki made the fatal mistake of admitting in an interview that his free throw shooting ritual consisted of singing a David Hasselhoff song, and the Miami crowd teased him enough that he missed and the Heat won.

The next two games in Miami, every time Nowitzki stepped to the line he had to hear about his questionable musical taste. "Da-vid Hassel-hoff! Da-vid Hassel-hoff!" Nowitzki seemed like a nice enough guy and an honorable enough opponent, so I almost felt bad that a chant rattled him so much.

The Chicago Bulls Joakim Noah is another kind of cat.

"Young Nudists at Sunsport Gardens Naturist Resort Reveal More Than Bare Asses"

A 29-year old ginger with a low ponytail, Chris, came in from Washington State, where he and his wife help organize Vita Nuda, another naturist organization. Annette, as it turns out, is a 21-year old student from Westin who grew up getting naked with the family. She was at this Spring Bash with her brother and twin sister, their seventh bash. "It's not a big deal in our family," she said matter-of-factly, "I'd say we're very liberal... I guess." And we all laughed.

Chris clarified that whole point in coming here isn't about getting undressed in front of people, but rather it allows you to do the things you can't do at home naked, "It's not so much about being in public, it's about being able to do other things." They can play volleyball (again...), swim, and watch a band. We then discussed the uselessness of bathing suits.

The drive out to Sunsport Gardens, a family naturist resort near Wellington, was an exercise in endurance. Finally off the Turnpike, one thunderstorm later, and somewhere near the Everglades, I passed a sign for a gun show, drove by a Starbucks and Jamba Juice. You know, swamp necessities. Not long after what seemed to be the last Publix on the Earth, I made a right turn onto a well-kept dirt road that led to the place where naked people play.

Loxahatchee Groves is, surprisingly, quite lovely. Where you'd think trailer parks squatted on gnarled plots of land, there are mostly plant nurseries and ranch-style homes with groomed but voluptuous greenery. The area is also about a million miles away from wherever it is that you live. After what felt like three hours, but was realistically two miles, I reached their gate, monitored by surveillance cameras. Behind it, I was the weirdo in a bathing suit with hangups trying to score a conversation with younger nudists here for the annual Florida Young Naturists' Spring Bash.
