The SaddleBrooke SilverBelles are excited to welcome two new dancers, Kathleen Dunbar and Tina Wrbanek.

Kathleen and her husband Dick moved to SaddleBrooke in February 2016. She joined our training group, the CrystalBelles, the very next month. In addition to her love of dancing, she is greatly involved in our community and is currently a candidate for 2017 dog park president. She has a background in animal welfare and is active in the political scene. Her little girl dream of being a professional dancer may not have panned out, but as a SilverBelle she will be gracing many stages around town.

Tina and her husband John are 17 year residents of SaddleBrooke. A CrystalBelle graduate, she also dances with the Desert Stars. Multi-talented, she is a member of both the SaddleBrooke Singers and Sonoran Singers. Originally from the upper Midwest, most of Tina’s life was spent in Chicago where she taught round dancing.

Both Kathleen and Tina bring not only their love of dance, but energy, enthusiasm, a sense of commitment and camaraderie to our group. They are currently busy learning dance routines and we look forward to having them dance with us this season.

If you see them around the “hood,” congratulations are definitely in order.
