Tia Penny

To whom it may concern,
I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Tia Penny, and give you some insights regarding her ability and dedication.
I first met Tia four years ago. At that time I could tell she was well advanced with her guitar skills and her confidence. She was “years ahead” of seasoned players.
It was then I decided that we needed to form a working relationship and that she needed to be seen and heard by the people in the Phoenix metro area.
One of her first gigs was at the “Scottsdale Art Walk”. Usually when musicians perform at the art walk people stop momentarily, listen for a few minutes and move on. When Tia would perform people would gather and stay to hear her entire set of music.
Since then Tia has honed her skills with hours and hours of practice and has performed at various venues and festivals through out the Southwest in front of 100’s of people. Her skills and confidence at an early age has been a huge advantage to move her along quickly.

Christopher Carter has been called one of the world's greatest mind-readers. But he’s not psychic. He has no super powers. He’s just in the business of freaking people out!
A winner of the coveted Dunninger Award, considered the “Oscars” of the world of mentalists and mind-readers, Christopher has entertained around the world. From Finland, to Mexico, to Qatar, to every state in the USA, he has amazed and thrilled corporate, college, and theater audiences with his astonishing feats of apparent mind power.
Christopher is much more than a mind-reader, though. He’s an ENTERTAINER. His feats are fun, high-energy, and completely interactive. 
Christopher has featured on the cover of American Corporate Entertainment Magazine, been awarded  Campus Entertainer of The Year by Campus Activities Magazine, and has given over 3500 live performances.

Christopher Carter

We engaged Christopher as a speaker at our 2021 Annual Users’ Group meeting. We are an ERP tech company, so it is nice to break up the intensity with some useful human insights we all could use.
Christopher did not disappoint, he was brilliant, entertaining, insightful, and captivated the audience throughout. He was still the subject of conversation on the second day. Christopher reminded us of how poor we are at listening, and how much we have to gain by trying.

Mike Taylor

Chris was booked to provide a virtual presentation at our leadership conference, “The Magic of Change”. He worked with our committee to tailor the presentation to our specific needs. I’ve never booked a presenter that was so dedicated to making sure every detail was just what we needed.

His presentation was absolutely amazing! Everyone on our leadership team has been raving about it. I’ve heard from several about the great take aways they had and how they are already starting to implement some of the ideas as we move forward in our agency transformation. Change is difficult but with the new insights he provided our managers are better equipped to be successful.

Renae McIntosh

Christopher performed a fantastic Mentalist Show for our Regional Sales Team via MS Teams! We’d had other performers and speakers in for events, but none had quite mastered the ability to engage and hold the audience, and perform so professionally using a virtual format. Seeing the mind-blown looks on people’s faces as he guessed correctly was priceless and provided a much needed break from these folks that spend so much time in front of the computer and in meetings. Loved it!!

Stephanie Woods Bodine

Thank you for your amazing performance during our ILICA Convention. Your mind-blowing act impressed us! You deliver a quality performance that professionally intertwines your art with skilled showmanship. You are a one-of-a-kind performer; I am a big fan!

Ryan Arcy

Chris, thank you for your exceptional sessions at last week’s meeting in Orlando. I am quite pleased at how you activated the principles of my presentation, and made the experience unforgettable for all who attended.

You created a buzz within the entire sales organization, and there is a very good chance that I will be reaching out to work with you again in the future, as there were many associates who were disappointed that they did not take the experience in.

Really great working with you, and thanks again.

John P Machak

Chris, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for a simply amazing presentation to our conference attendees. You have a unique ability to blend the fascinating with the concept of maximizing our inner strengths and then to tie them all together with fun and flare.

Over the years I have had the unfortunate task of attending a number of presentations that lack style, substance, message and any sense of entertainment. Your approach and methods captured every person from ownership to managers and tied them together with human commonality that we cannot evade.

We look forward to our next encounter and thank you for the obvious amount of attention to detail that you put forth for every client.”

I recently had the pleasure of attending Vanessa's group 2-step dance class at Donn's Depot, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Vanessa's teaching style is exceptional, as she expertly broke down the intricate steps of the 2-step dance, making it incredibly easy for everyone to learn.

What truly sets Vanessa apart is her infectious positivity and encouragement. Throughout the class, she radiated enthusiasm, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for all participants. Her passion for dance is palpable, and it's evident that she genuinely loves what she does.

Vanessa's ability to make the learning process fun and engaging was truly remarkable. She not only taught us the dance steps but also infused the class with a sense of joy and camaraderie. It was evident that she cared about each individual's progress and made sure everyone felt included.

After attending Vanessa's class, I am eager to continue learning and improving my 2-step skills. I can confidently say

Barbara Visser

TLDR: 10/10 highly recommend! Vanessa is not only a wonderful teacher but has created an inclusive, judgment free environment for new dancers to learn, and intermediate/advanced dancers to improve and grow.

Long Review: For context, I've been following two-step for 7yrs and started going to Vanessa's beginner class to learn to lead.

I was so impressed with how she's structured her whole dance course.

In the beginner class she gives you context and background on what makes honky-tonk/Austin two-step different and so special.

The beginner class is also structured in a way that helps a new dancer understand some of the key principles of what makes a good dance(in any style). The lesson includes just enough to make a fun dance but not an overwhelming amount. It's also the same lesson every time so you can keep repeating it till you feel like you've really integrated all the skills and are ready to move on to the intermediate.

Her intermediate lesson is also wonderful and builds right

Austin has a large country music social dancing community. In this city you can go two-stepping any night of the week. The quality of the bands and musicianship everywhere is incredible. Vanessa (Double or Nothing Two-Step) works to bring folks up to speed on the footwork and moves that the dancers at our local honky-tonks are doing and also to keep everyone in the community in-the-know about who is playing where every night via her daily “Where to Two-Step Austin!” social media posts. Those two activities combine to form an on-ramp for anyone looking to experience this city’s rich musical legacy through dance and to meet all of the cool locals keeping the “old Austin” flame alive.

Vanessa (currently) teaches multiple two-step classes every week between Sam’s Town Point and Donn’s Depot and she also periodically organizes a “Boot Camp” which is a bigger and longer weekend event for sharing tips and moves and trying new things.

Over the past few years I’ve gotten more and more into co

Vanessa made something that was 100% out of my comfort zone approachable, immediately fun, and comfortable. From beginner to intermediate and now advanced lessons - learning from her has been incredibly fun and rewarding. Through lessons and social dancing throughout Austin - I've met so many new people and I'm enjoying the city I've lived in for 10+ years in a whole new way 💚

Fantastic. Fun, accessible, and welcoming. Learned a ton in a short time. 10/10 recommend.

Elliott August

Vanessa is a phenomenal instructor, extremely thorough for beginners and innovative for intermediate/ advanced. She’s well-versed in different types of dance but her home is two-step, meeting you at the level you’re at and gives you a framework so you can explore and advance quickly. She also makes dancing really fun for both partners! 🤠🤠

Gabrielle Westfield

Vanessa is nothing but greatness! She breaks everything down and makes it very easy to understand. She’s open to questions and feedback during the lessons and brings a light to the two stepping community!

Andrea Feliciano

Vanessa creates a fun & welcoming environment for ALL to learn.  I’ve gone from zero experience to advanced lessons and pure joy spinning around on Austin’s honky tonk dance floors.  So many weekly options to get out and practice and the boot camps are amazing too.

Krista Allenby

If you need to get that true flavor of Austin, TX in your soul than Double or Nothing Two Step is for you. In one lesson, ANYONE, and I mean anyone can be out on the floor dancing. Need a way to make new pals? want to experience country music to the fullest? Only one way to do it. "I Love 2-step"

Phillip Brush

Vanessa is a fantastic two-step teacher! She brings the energy and the fun and is very supportive and patient. As someone who doesn't have a dance background, she made me feel very at ease in our lessons. There's no one better to learn two-step from!

Caleb Jost

Two-step dancing around Austin is the highlight of my weekends, and I wouldn’t have learned if it weren’t for Vanessa’s lessons. Taking up dancing as a 30-something-year-old man with little experience seemed impossible. But Vanessa teaches in a way that is accessible, social, and FUN. I recommend it to literally everyone I meet.

Cameron Dodd

We had such a lovely time dancing with Vanessa! She made us look like we actually knew what we were doing - didn’t think that was possible. Highly recommend her line dancing class for a fun girls night!

Dara Ayers

I've tried picking up two-step a few times, and it wasn't until I attended Vanessa's class that I felt it's doable.

Within 60 minutes she had me dancing, not to mention my Spotify was blown up with great new tunes.

Patient and passionate, Double or Nothing Two-Step is the where you want to go for dance lessons in Austin.

Tal Shmueli

Vanessa is such a fantastic teacher, and her love for dancing is obvious in her lessons from start to finish. She explains things with just the right amount of detail and has a way of simplifying really complicated moves into something anyone can do. I've brought my partner who wanted to learn to dance to three of her lessons, and I'm floored by the progress I've seen in so little time. Really grateful to her for being able translate something I love doing in ways I hadn't been able to myself.

Rebecca S.

Absolutely LOOOOOVE my lessons with Vanessa. Such a delightful, lovely and kind person and a total badass at her craft. She is the real deal. No contrived egotistical dance guru energy. Just a truly good human who looooves what she does and is damn good at. She has my highest reco!!

Meghan S.

Vanessa is so skilled and down to earth. She has come up with a very learnable sequence to teach newbies and is very good at adding on in a super manageable way.

We've already been out dancing at local halls and are feeling pretty confident even though we've only had two lessons.

We can't wait to try out the intermediate group lesson tomorrow!!

Maggie B.

Best and most fun dance lessons in Austin, hands down! Go solo or with a partner, doesn't matter - you'll for sure find someone to dance with regardless. Vanessa does a great job making sure everyone feels appreciated and safe and answers any questions that pop up about new moves. So much fun!

Sean S.

5 Stars all the way!
I've learned many styles of dancing over the years and know that it can be hard to find an instructor that not only has talent, but the ability to teach and connect with her students. After looking for a two-step instructor for quite a while, Vanessa was highly recommended to me and she is the real deal. The honky tonk style she teaches is fun and so are lessons. Her teaching style is low key and collaborative and she figures out ways to explain and demonstrate moves that makes them easy to understand and follow. I never leave without feeling great and like it's a great investment of time and money to learn with her.

Larry R.

Can't say enough good things about Vanessa. Not all great dancers are great teachers but she is both of those things, combining them with grace, intelligence and a great sense of humor. The two step style she teaches is accessible and informal. Having fun is the whole point of dancing and she makes it fun!
After only a few lessons this Jersey girl feels confident to take to the dance floor. Thank you, Vanessa!

Dorothy T.

Vanessa's lessons are the best antidepressant I've ever tried!

Her teaching style is accessible and encouraging. It's been really special to get to know the people she brings out - all kind and looking to learn something new.

She offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced social lessons throughout the week at venues around town. Tip her!

I can also highly recommend her private lessons. These have been valuable in polishing things up and gaining confidence.

Time of my life:)

Vanessa is so positive and patient with all dancers who take her classes or lessons. The beginner lessons are easy to follow and anyone can join the dancefloor after taking a class. I recommend her to all my friends and look forward to more classes in the future.

Lessons with Vanessa are tons of fun! She makes it so easy, even at "two left footer" like me can get it. It's obvious she loves helping others find the same joy she seems to get from dancing. Highly recommend.

Vanessa has opened up the world of honky tonk 2-stepping to me and I am truly grateful.  Her passion for dancing and her positive energy, even as I fumble through my steps, is refreshing and very inspiring. I took private and public lessons to prepare for an upcoming family reunion and wedding and I am walking away with a new found love of honky tonk dancing.  If you've never dropped by Sam's Town Point in south Austin, you definitely need to check it out, especially if you're new to the greatest city in Texas.  Every year we lose more and more of those hidden treasures like STP, so if you really want to support what makes Austin unique, then I urge you to drop by at 8:30pm on Mondays and 7pm on Thursdays for 2-step lessons with Vanessa, or anytime you're in their neck of the woods.  Great people, awesome atmosphere, and you can't beat a bar tab around $20. I hope to see y'all there.

Double or Nothing Two-Step is wonderful! I hosted a Two-Step birthday party with them and it was a blast. Vanessa was responsive and helpful with coordination in advance of the party. The event was a ton of fun! We had people at all levels attend. Vanessa adjusts to different levels to teach the advanced folks new moves and help the new folks try to stay on rhythm. I felt the instruction was the right mix of choreography-breakdown and songs to practice/just have fun. I highly recommend Double or Nothing Two-Step!
