Dancers are their own community, and a very special one of our own is suddenly hospitalized and in need of prayers and encouragement. “Double Two” Rich (in the maroon, on the left, with Gary) is a Cadillac Ranch Icon. He has helped many new dancers feel comfortable on the floor, and is one of the…
DetailsMy favorite book of all time is Spencer Johnson’s, Who Moved My Cheese. It’s a story of dealing with change. I’ve read it to my daughters as a bedtime story in 45 minutes flat. Change is in the air…it’s everywhere. Look at this picture of me riding on the back of a motorcycle on the highway! …
DetailsWe did it!!!!! I’m so impressed that the “We have a dance team dress rehearsal” ruse worked this past Sunday! Lady Diana Wood was totally stunned when she walked in to rehearsal to shouts of, “SURPRISE!!” Di’s daughter Shawn coordinated the whole thing, and she did an incredible job. We were able to perform the dance…
DetailsLast Thursday night at Rancheros was WONDERFUL good fun! Thank you, everyone, for dancing with us! Jeff got to DJ on the ceiling while we danced on the floor; how about that? I had to look through the screening to see him, as you can see from the picture. We had a marvelous time dancing…

DetailsNow how many times have I told us ALL: “Don’t look down when you dance; you’ll get dizzy”?? Here’s proof that I’m guilty too. So here’s the reminder again: Look where you’re going and focus on it, and you’ll eliminate the “down” side (aka the problems, like getting dizzy…and other distractions!). Over 100 dancers joined…
DetailsTake a look: in the foreground, that’s Mary Ellen on the left and Caitlin on the right strutting their stuff at the Just Play performance just two months ago. Here’s the kicker: there’s a SIXTY-THREE YEAR AGE GAP BETWEEN THEM…and yet they know some of the same dances. Behind them, all ages in between are represented. …
DetailsI am SO impressed: you got the bug! You are certified “danceaholics”…gotta dance, any time, any where, any temperature. At Morton Arboretum this past weekend, you simply ROCKED it (and those of you who were dancing on that stage know EXACTLY what I mean) – WOW! Thank you SO MUCH for showing the world what…
