 Jena started line dancing in 2006 when she attended her first lesson at Coyote Joes in Shelby Twp MI. It wasn’t long until she would fill in as sub and in early 2007 took over full-time where she had her first lesson. One night of dancing wasn’t enough and Jena found herself adding teaching nights each week at Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and then at Overtyme in Waterford MI where she continues to teach each Wednesday.  2022 presented a partnership with The HUB Stadium Novi to offer monthly Friday dance parties! As excitement grew in the area a new weekly class emerged spotlighting instructor Jordan “Boot Scootin’” Billet.  Spreading the love for line dance, Jena enjoys teaching in many capacities from her weekly classes, 1-1 private lessons, corporate events, even large festivals/fairs such as Faster Horses Festival in Brooklyn MI where she has instructed since 2017.  Jena loves to choreograph as well! She has had the honor of working with many local musician friends including RJ Harper, Rob Stone (What I got) and The Family Tradition Band (Whiskey Shakedown). Some of her more well-known choreography includes Last Night (w/ co choreographer Jordan “Boot Scootin’” Billet), Southbound, Creek Will Rise and Halfway to Hell.   

Jordan discovered line dancing in 2020 when him and some friends went to the diamond back saloon.   He fell in love and started attending weekly classes with Phyllis Manier where he was given his first opportunity to teach and fell in love with helping others learn dances that he had used as an outlet.   Jordan started to travel to many of the local bars and bigger ones across the nation to further his line dance repertoire.  In 2022 he met Jenergy and started working with her to host dance events and has his weekly class at the Hub where the best of the bar will be held.  Jordan has choreographed Last night, boot stomp stomp and Fumblin' and Stumblin.  Jordan bring a passion for dancing he loves to spread to others.
