An unusual bond between two unapologetically dysfunctional friends who have all the wrong things in common. Line Dance DJ/Instructor Marie “Champagne Cowgirl” Kelly and Line Dance Choreographer/Instructor Tommy G. Parker (aka: Teejee Teegee) bring energy, spontaneity, and a daring leap-before-you-look attitude to the local and online Line Dance community. Beneath the chaos, they share a deep commitment to authenticity, vulnerability, acceptance, loyalty, professionalism, creativity, and playfulness—creating spaces where people feel free to show up fully, connect honestly, and have a damn good time doing it. Their crank-it-up-in-stereo/you-be-you-because-who-the-hell-else-are-you-supposed-to-be approach to line dancing is like no other. Their unrelenting, unfiltered, willful banter, frighteningly short attention spans, and mutual inability to stop talking, make for unforgettable experience on and off the dance floor.

Tommy is a line dancer, instructor, and choreographer with a big heart, a playful spirit, and just enough chaos to cause the right kind of trouble. A true jack-of-all-trades, he brings humor, passion, and creativity to everything he touches. Retired, his career path has included work as a designer, writer, photographer, creative director
