Debbie Jenner

Doris D (born Debbie Jenner; 22 February 1959) is a British singer and dancer who spent her career in the Netherlands.

Biography Jenner was born in Skegness, England, and settled in the Netherlands at the age of 20 to start a ballet school there. There, she was a featured dancer in the Dutch pop music television program TopPop, followed by an album in which, in addition to Jenner, featured Van den Berg, and Luv' singer José Hoebee.

After breaking up with The Pins in 1982, who continued independently under the name Risqué, Jenner put together a new The Pins with dancers from England.

In 1983, Jenner, under the name Doris D, released an aerobics instruction LP Aerobic Dancing with Doris D. that became very popular. After a comeback with another new line-up of The Pins in 1984 yielded only a modest hit, she gave up her singing career to focus entirely on choreography, including for the Dolly Dots, and aerobics instructional videos. In 1986, she choreographed the movie Mama is boos! ("Momma is angry!") and the TV series Reagan: Let's Finish the Job by . In addition, she was featured as an actress under her own name in the comedy television film Daar gaat de bruid ("There goes the bride"), alongside Allard van der Scheer, Ina van Faassen, Pieter Lutz and Lex Goudsmit.

In the early 1990s, two compilation CDs by Doris D & The Pins were released, both of which contained the same tracks. In 1998, Jenner performed with the original Pins at a one-time reunion concert in honor of the 1998 Gay Games, which was held in Amsterdam.

Since 2000, she has been involved almost exclusively in teaching Pilates courses and workshops. She opened her first studio in Amsterdam and received several well-known artists and top athletes as clients. In 2002, Jenner received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the EFAA for her efforts as a pioneer in the fitness world over the preceding two decades. In 2013, she returned to England to live in the countryside, but she still comes to the Netherlands for training and teaching instructors and physiotherapists. Since April 2020, she has also been teaching online classes to consumers and instructors through "Deb's Online Health Club".
