I am one of those who is mourning the loss of the Sunday Stampede at Cadillac Ranch. I went there to dance on that day most weeks for more than a decade. But I am fortunate enough to also work with the Warrenville Park District, who has offered to host Sunday Nite Country next SUNDAY MARCH 9th from 6…
DetailsI'm starting to feel like this wolf. More winter? Bah. I love the snow but it's starting to really feel long…in many ways. I'm a bit exasperated. Trials come and go. This week has been full of them for me. I've alluded to them but am still processing…I'll share more soon. Suffice it to say that…
DetailsEver feel like you’re getting The Look? I’m not sure if the baby is giving it to the dog more, or vice versa. Either way, The Look is going around. Just last week I got it, in fact. I was so proud of myself for introducing a new dance using a current song, and I…
DetailsThis was SO worth passing on! “Feelin’ groovy” at its best!!! The Miami Dolphin Cheerleaders sent the US Troops in Afghanistan a music video and the troops sent one back…mimicking them almost to perfection. Soldiers win…hands down!!! Now THAT is entertainment! And the soldiers learned their moves from a video – which you can take…
DetailsI spent this past New Year's with the Cadillac Ranch Dance Team and other friends in Nashville. As I was thinking about things going on NOW, a conversation I had THEN came to mind. In case you thought you knew everything about cowboys, listen in on how a cowboy preps for a New Year's Eve…
DetailsI’m on of those weirdos who love snow! But I’m not as keen on driving in it as I was when I was a teenager, that’s for sure. More snow is predicted, and many of you like driving in it even less than I do. Therefore, all dance events through the Geneva and Warrenville Park…
DetailsSPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Cadillac Ranch is NO LONGER CHARGING A COVER ON FRIDAYS!!! You can now dance for FREE every Friday, and learn THREE new dances (a hard one at 7:30, an easier one at 8:30, and an easy one at 9:30). I’ll be teaching FAKE ID for the next two Fridays; now’s your chance to really “get” this…
DetailsIt’s the second week of January and for me, the new year has officially begun – and I am so glad. The holidays are over, the Nashville adventure has come to an end as the last team member finally got back home, and the diet has begun. It’s time to start over, and focus on…
DetailsI'm sure you've heard the encouraging line, "Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone" from some well wisher who is pushing you to do more and be more. And I don't disagree with that…exactly. Because I know where mine is, and I really don't mind being in it – life is predictable and safe there. But…
DetailsThe Morning After has arrived…I hope you had a very Merry Christmas with your families!! This week has been the most relaxing for me personally in many years. I spent yesterday at my mom’s with my close family (those are my daughters Jessica & Katie with me in the picture) and it was wonderful catching…
