Lately it’s been a challenge to stay on top of all the changes in my dance world. We’ve lost Cadillac Ranch as our main dance hall and replaced it with various locations. We’re also adding more floor splits, so people of all levels have more opportunity to dance each time a song is played. New…
DetailsLady Di gets a headache trying to figure out where she is dancing every Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On the off chance that she is not the only one, the revised Dance With Janet flyer should help us ALL remember where we are going. Each location is listed on the Upcoming Events page of my website. VIDEOS and STEP SHEETS of what I’ve taught at…

DetailsCongratulations to ALL of you who have continued dancing with me! You found me!!! Does it feel like we’re touring the Chicago suburbs together? I had no idea it would be such a challenge to find the perfect place. However, I think I have…and it’s gonna be QUITE THE NIGHT! This Friday we’re dancing in West Chicago,…
DetailsI moved into Geneva in 1999, and found the American Legion Post 75 within a month (since it’s right across the street from the library, and I’m a library gal). Of course I peeked in the window and saw the MAPLE HARDWOOD FLOOR, and thought, boy, would it be cool to have a dance here. WELL, as of TONIGHT, there’ll be…
DetailsI never thought I’d see the day when we’d dance regularly in the western suburbs, but it sure looks like this party is gonna fly! So many dancers who take classes with me are from the Wheaton area; I’m so pleased that we were able to find a nearby facility where we can dance on…
DetailsCadillac Ranch is a fond memory now for us all, and life has changed again. Since we’re all so used to dancing on Tuesdays, we’ll continue to do so, starting tonight! We will alternate Tuesdays with Wheaton, starting TONIGHT, MARCH 29th, at the American Legion Post 1231 in Lake In The Hills, 1101 W. Algonquin Rd., from 7-10 pm ($5 admission). On the…
DetailsI’m sure I’m not the only one counting down the last days of the existence of Cadillac Ranch. Boy, but it’s been one heck of a run. I find myself of two minds. I know they’ve said they’ll reopen with a different concept, and I’m looking forward to seeing what that will be, but there’s…
DetailsCan it be? Is Cadillac Ranch, the almost 25-year old country bar which set the standards for every other country dance hall around, really closing? Sadly, yes. As you’ve probably seen on Facebook, or heard through the grapevine, Cadillac Ranch’s last evening open will be March 26th, 2016. As they’ve stated, they intend to…
DetailsJust a few short days ago I approached the edge of a cliff on the island of St. Maarten and looked down, and what I saw took my breath away. It was a moment I will never forget. The crashing surf, the water that stretched endlessly away from me, and the sunshine blazing through the…
