We 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? On Saturday, FERMILAB is hosting our dance from 7 – 10 pm! For many years, various dances have been held in Kuhn Barn, and this weekend it's our turn. FERMILAB GOES COUNTRY, HOORAY!! What a ride…
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…
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…
