HIP HOP AEROBICS!  I just wanted to say, the Soulsis is soooo proud of this brother Weave.  If you are down with the old school hip hop scene, you will remember Weave as a brotha that could get his dance on. Well now the brotha used his talents and started his own business -- that's what I'm talking about!  Check out his article in the Post Gazette on his Hip Hop Aerobics classes in East Liberty.
