Richard Martin Thirty-five square dancers, all members of the SaddleBrooke Ranch Rancheros and the SaddleBrooke Squares, enjoyed dining and dancing at the Chaparral (D&D at C) on Jan. 2. Why did we go there, you ask? Well, square dancing has always been associated with the romanticized image of the American cowboy, and the Cadillac Chaparral…

Kay White My husband and I recently thought it would be nice to have a change of pace from our busy SaddleBrooke schedule, so we decided to take advantage of now knowing how to square dance, thanks to lessons we had in the MountainView ballroom, and take a square dance trip. For the past two…
Sheila Bray My husband John and I felt proud as we graduated from the Square Dance class of 2017 receiving a diploma and official name tag. Hmm, come to think of it no one failed the course. You have to develop the ability to laugh at yourself (not pard’ner, of course) when you make simple…
