The Elgin American Legion venue has not worked out. We’ll be replacing it with the ELGIN VFW 1307 (YES, the hall where DJ Dave hosts his dances) for the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays, starting MAY 31st. I’ve CANCELLED the dance for tonight as we will not be returning to the Elgin American Legion. I’m hosting dances this Saturday and Sunday in Warrenville. Sunday’s dance will be…
DetailsBet you thought I’d forgotten our series on becoming a better dancer. Nope; just got a smidge distracted with the closing of Cadillac Ranch and the relocation of the danceaholics of my acquaintance. And there are quite a few! Spend the next few minutes with me as I delve into Part 2 (filmed during the…
DetailsYou aren't getting itchy to try a new place to dance, are you? Really? You're ready for a new venue? Cuz I've got one, starting TONIGHT! It's the same one we're alternating with the Wheaton VFW on Tuesday nights, but we're starting it THIS FRIDAY, and we'll still be there on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays, starting this Tuesday, May 10th. …
DetailsWe are a community, and as such, when one of our own loses someone especially close, we all bind together and grieve with them. Bethany Young has been an active dancer for many years, and you probably recognize her. She attended our dance this past Friday at the West Chicago VFW. Friday after the dance her husband John was tragically…
DetailsIt's another outstanding day! How wonderful that we have another day to live. Tomorrow we'll dance at the West Chicago VFW 6791, and guess what?

DetailsLately 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…
