Nicholas & Mitch Baker
Cookeville, TN (Putnam County)

Brothers Nicholas and Mitch Baker are teaming up for a rare coordinated performance as they take the stage for this year's Let's Dance fundraiser benefiting WCTE PBS. Normally, as Mitch puts it, they "flail, jump, and step on people's feet until someone asks us to take a break or leave," so they're both excited to see how they do!

Nicholas, a sales professional with PepsiCo, is passionate about WCTE's impact across the Upper Cumberland-from educational programming and initiatives like Empower UC to locally produced shows that bring the community together. Known for breaking out his signature move, "the worm," he's ready to bring plenty of energy to the dance floor.

Mitch, a communications professional, grew up a lifelong fan of WCTE programming and credits the station with shaping how he sees and engages with the world. "It's the perfect combo: I love dancing, I love WCTE, and I'm down to be silly due to a lack of personal shame," he laughs.

Nicholas' greatest supporter is his girlfriend, Noel Foster, who doubles as his toughest coach, making sure he puts in plenty of practice. Outside of dancing, Nicholas enjoys cheering on the Vols, playing guitar, and taking his Jeep out for joy rides.

With humor, energy, and brotherly banter, Nicholas and Mitch are ready to trade in their usual freestyle chaos for a coordinated performance-all in support of keeping WCTE strong for the community they love.
