Lane Wilkinson and Nancy Stuenkel, the dancing duo who won the Franklin, Tn. Seniors Got Talent show in 2022, has been named Best of the Best of Seniors Got Talent 2022.
The Morning Pointe Foundation invited the public to vote on their favorite winner from the
organization’s four Seniors Got Talent showcases: Chattanooga, Franklin and Knoxville, Tn., as
well as Lexington, Ky.
Mr. Wilkinson and Ms. Stuenkel’s fun dance routine to “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” came in first place in the Best of the Best contest, which took place from Feb. 22 – March 5. Their act received 258 votes out of the 783 total cast.
Both Ms. Stuenkel and Mr. Wilkinson started dancing in their 70s and met through the Dare 2 Dance Studio in Spring Hill.
“We are both so thankful for the opportunity and very excited to be named Best of the Best,” said
Ms. Wilkinson.
The dancers will receive four tickets each to a Seniors Got Talent show of their choice and a special two-minute talent showcase video of the duo.
