About US . . . .
Trent and Mary Cummings taught line dance for more than 20 years. In November of 2011, Trent and Mary decided to retire from teaching. None of us wanted to see our class end.
A day after the big announcement, we thought up a crazy plan - would it be possible to somehow keep our class going? After brain-storming ideas, and once everyone was on board, we got together to put it down on paper and wrote a letter to Trent and Mary. We wanted to know if they would allow us the opportunity to volunteer to coordinate their class.
A few days later we sat down with Trent and Mary in their home and talked for several hours. They were kind enough to take us up on our offer. The only thing they asked of us was that we make the business 'our own'.
The last paragraph of the letter given to Trent and Mary simply said:

The last paragraph of the letter given to Trent and Mary simply said:
"No matter where life takes you, Mary, your everlasting legacy will live on in line dance and we have both of you to thank for so many years of enjoyment. We want to carry on your love for dance by keeping your class going if at all possible."

And so it began . . . .
The name of our group really represents what Trent and Mary started many years ago.
'TMC' are the initials for Trent and Mary Cummings. We wanted Mary's legacy to live on in line dance and with our class, hence the name TMC Legacy Dance Club.
After a 12 year valiant battle with cancer, Mary was called to heaven on February 18, 2012. All of us lost a wonderful line dance teacher and personal friend that day. She will be remembered as a strong fighter and a woman who was influential to line dance in Wisconsin. She was an inspiration to those battling cancer.
