Absolutely the best at choreographing dances for Wedding couples. Have seen the results of her work & it is fantastic. Every time! Creates an endearing memory that can last a couple a lifetime. Jeannie is excellent at teaching beginners as well as advanced dancers. She is a master at working on a students individual strengths and as a result enables them with confidence on the dance floor. http://jeannietucker.com/teaching.htm

I was invited to a Country Western Club several months ago, it had been over 25 years since I went to a club to dance, and really enjoyed myself, but decided that if I was going to continue, I needed to take lessons so that when I did dance, I could do it with a little bit of grace and a lot more confidence.Thus started my journey to find a dance studio and instructor to get the dance lessons I so badly needed. After researching what was available, I found that the well-known franchises were ridiculously overpriced and they pushed hard to sign me up for hundreds of dollars of instruction packages. I then decided I would be able to learn quicker with less people and I would have no chance of being recognized and embarrassed, so I decided to go with private lessons verses group lessons. I then started inquiring about dance instructors who knew what they were doing, and did private lessons that were affordable for the average person. It did not take long before I had a few candidates, after my interviews, I selected Jeannie Tucker, as I felt Ms. Tucker met the criteria I was looking for. I started with County Western lessons with Ms. Tucker (Jeannie) several months ago, and from that first lesson I knew I had made the right choice. Jeannie was warm, friendly, and made me feel comfortable. After a brief discussion to identify what my present goals were, we discussed how she felt we should proceed (with me, It was at the beginning, the very beginning).Entering her private studio I could see pictures on the walls of her performing as a little girl to the professional performer/instructor she is today, numerous trophies, awards, ribbons, etc., that she was and still is a highly gifted performer, dancer and instructor. Jeannie truly believes "If Dancing is YOUR Passion, then Teaching You is MINE" a quote on her business card.After just a few lesions, one of the things I appreciated was Jeannie's methodical process of step-by-step direction and teaching of the basic steps. She told me, and as I learned, the basics, if done properly and practiced, would be the foundation for everything that would follow. In addition, if I became proficient at the basics, that adding new steps and combining them would be much easier, and retention greater. Boy, am I glad we spent that time, evening though I wanted to proceed quicker because I want to move on to the more exciting moves, I am so glad she did not let me, because it truly is making me a better dancer, and when those basic become instinct the rest is easier to learn. During my lessons I found Jeannie to be warm, friendly, supportive, caring, and within just minutes she put me at ease, relieving my anxieties. I felt that she was not just teaching me the steps, but showing me the importance of being a strong leader, emphasizing proper form and technique, and her instructions were clear and easy to understand. She was patient with me, willing to explain things over and over. With her instruction, encouragement and patience, my movement improved to the degree that I started gaining more confidence in myself, and on the dance floor in public.I still have miles to go, but I know I'll get there faster and easier with Jeanie steering the way.

We got a series of lessons as a Christmas gift for our wedding and it was the best gift ever! My (now) husband learned so much so fast and it was thanks to Jeannie's great teaching. Everyone loved our dance at the wedding and we are so glad that we came to her to learn it!
