In this exciting episode of The Fitzness Show, Fitz Koehler sits down with Tucker Gokey, a professional contemporary and ballet dancer with the Dance Alive National Ballet. Tucker takes us through his inspiring origin story, sharing his journey from the very beginning of his dance career to becoming one of the most celebrated dancers in the industry. Tucker opens up about the challenges and triumphs that have shaped his path, and how he continues to evolve as an artist.
Tucker, who was part of the Dancing with the Stars fundraising gala, took on The Jive—a fast-paced and exciting ballroom dance that showcased his incredible skills. He shares behind-the-scenes insights into preparing for the event, including the rigorous training, choreography, and moments of self-doubt that come with performing in front of an audience. Through it all, Tucker’s passion for dance shines through, as he embraces the art form with dedication and heart.
In this conversation, Tucker also discusses his future plans, offering a glimpse into what lies ahead in his career. Whether it’s taking on new roles, exploring innovative projects, or teaching the next generation of dancers, Tucker’s excitement for what’s to come in the future is contagious.
But perhaps the most entertaining part of the episode is when Tucker shares his honest thoughts on dancing with Fitz—who, let’s just say, is known for being “the noisiest girl around.” Despite the challenges of training with Fitz’s energetic personality, Tucker has nothing but positive things to say about their partnership. Their chemistry, humor, and respect for each other make for a fun and heartfelt conversation.
