I just had the most incredible week of my LIFE! 40 of us spent the last eight days together on the Dance With Janet Cruise – and what a week it was!! We vacationed and danced our way through the Oasis of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world (with a complement of…
DetailsIt’s time to sign off for a good ten days or so! The Dance With Janet Cruise has finally arrived, after months of waiting and planning, and thinking it would never get here! About 40 of us leave tomorrow to re-assemble in Ft. Lauderdale, FL (and go dancing at the local country bar, ROUNDUP!!) in preparation for sailing on…
DetailsThis is my kind of “Man Wanted” poster! However, such a perfect specimen is unnecessary. I do have a last minute deal for a man, though. One of the men who was planning on attending the cruise had to cancel due to personal issues, so his spot is available. We are only 12 days away…
DetailsSo you wanna boogie, do you? Donning the right pair of shoes will definitely help make your night out unforgettable. If you’ve been dancing for any length of time, I’m sure you’ve noticed that street shoes do not good dancing shoes make. Tennis shoes tend to stick to the floor and a rotation on the…
DetailsI apparently need to go back to Florida for more R ‘n’ R. I messed up the time of the new Beginner 1 class! The correct info is this: We’ve added ANOTHER BEGINNER 1 class in Wheaton at the same location (208 W. Union) on Wednesdays from 4:45 – 6 pm. This class will run at that time from now…

We will make up this class on Wednesday, February 25th. Stay warm!! I've had requests to see the award-winning performance of…

DetailsDue to popular demand there will be a dance this Saturday, January 3rd at Warrenville Park District. This dance will strictly be an open dance from 6:45-10pm. There will be no lessons but DJ Jeff will be there to play your request. I have also included for you a copy of the Warrenville Saturday and…
DetailsToday is the day!!! Two years ago the Cadillac Ranch Dance Team began. From that group, the Country Cruisers were officially born in April of 2014. The Cruisers' goal was to compete with their dance number at the UCWDC Country Dance Worlds Championships in Orlando, Florida, at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. Off we go (like…
DetailsJust this week I read a blurb on Facebook reminding us to forgive people who we feel have wronged us. Not an easy task, as it’s so much more gratifying to hold on to our pain and remind ourselves how much we’ve been hurt. That must be one of the reason’s Elsa’s song, Let It Go,…
