I 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…
DetailsThank you all, so very very much, for a super duper Christmas weekend! It was wonderful to dance to holiday music – and a little hard on the brain, sometimes! We don’t normally realize how automatically we dance to songs we recognize – it can be done to other music, but boy do you have…
DetailsEven though tomorrow never comes, when tomorrow becomes today, you’ll be glad to know what’s going on! Diva the Dancing Dog was popular with the kids at the Wheaton Holiday Parade last Friday, and she’s sure to be a hit again tomorrow at Warrenville’s Holly Days festival from 6 – 8 pm. **Due to the cold weather predicted, the event has been moved…
DetailsWinter is here! Just as the snowman phones home, I encourage you to call your family members with whom you might not touch base very often at this national time of Thanksgiving. I am guilty of thinking, I wonder how my brother and his family are doing? My aunt is still feeling well, right? And…
DetailsEven though the sun burns me to a crisp in seconds, I still prefer sunny days to rainy ones. Winter is doable because even though it's cold, it's usually sunny. But now? It seems to be a never-ending dreary, rainy time…but chin up, although it's raining, it's raining JANETS!!! I used to know no one…
