Greg krucial Carney

Hi, I’m Gregory "Krucial" Carney—most people just call me Greg. I grew up between Rockwood and Harriman, but Knoxville has been home since 1991. I’ve been dancing for as long as I can remember, and ever since winning my first dance contest at age 12 at Triangle Park, I knew this was what I was meant to do.

Today, at 56, I’m still doing what I love: dancing, teaching, and inspiring others to move. I teach Hip Hop fitness, line dancing for exercise, dubstep animation, freestyle, and choreographed routines for both kids and an all-girls group called Phla’less. Watching students of all ages grow in confidence and skill is the best part of what I do.

My biggest inspirations have always been Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, MC Hammer, and the one and only James Brown. Their energy and creativity continue to fuel my passion every day.
