DetailsOne of the best things about dancing on a performance team is dancing in a pool! The Cadillac Ranch Dance Team performed at Turtle Splash Water Park in West Chicago this past Sunday afternoon, and it was HOT, HOT, HOT…unless we were dancing in the water! Even though summer's ending, it's still here enough that we had…
