The SaddleBrooke Ballroom Dance Club has well over 200 members. Most of them are couples, but there are also several single members who love to dance. Vivian Herman began dancing in junior high school on Long Island, New York, where she and her girlfriends danced in a neighbor’s garage. “Boys knew how to dance back then, and we did swing dancing and the Lindy Hop.” By the time Vivian reached adulthood, she and her friends frequented the famous Cat Club near Union Square in New York City.

Members of the SaddleBrooke Ballroom Dance Club know that having Dale and Ann Pizzitola as teachers is equivalent to winning the “dance lottery.” In 2004, Ann and Dale created their own dance studio in a Milwaukee suburb. Professional dance competitors flew in to be coached and couples learned to dance for their wedding. Their studio also became the place for young men to “pop the question” to their dance partners.

“We’re a social club where we enjoy dancing and also learning new dance steps,” explained Rich Adinolfi, SaddleBrooke Ballroom Dance President. Rich and his wife, Deb, became members almost immediately after moving to SaddleBrooke eight years ago. Growing up in New Jersey, Rich’s entire family always loved to dance. Growing up in Chicago, Deb began with tap and ballet lessons at an early age, so, once they got married, it was natural for them to further their mutual interest in dance.
