This is a recording of the creation of a new business, Dancing Cup Cafe, in Orange Beach, Al., by two people that have never opened a business before, Scott VanTine and Rhonda Hill. We chose Orange Beach because we wanted to be close to my family and we wanted to be even closer to the beach. We chose a coffee shop because we both love coffee shops and both know how to work one. What we don't know is how to start one.

Dancing Cup comes to Orange Beach
August 12, 2012 - Orange Beach, AL. - Fresh off a 3 & 1/2 month tour of Florida's coasts come Alabama native Rhonda Hill and her partner Scott Van Tine with good food and delicious coffee.
After living in Wyoming for a quarter of a century Rhonda has returned to Alabama to open Dancing Cup Cafe, modeled after Main Street Artisans, a successful gallery/cafe she co-owned in Evanston, WY. The Dancing Cup Cafe brews coffee drinks to order, bakes turnovers fresh daily, and offers a classic cafe menu including quiches.
Barbara Brasell, Rhonda's mother, has brought into the cafe a large selection of antiques from the Possum Shop, her store in Thomasville, AL. Several Alabama artists works are on display and available for purchase also.
Scott Van Tine, a licensed embalmer and former Deputy Coroner in Wyo has polished off the food service skills he developed in his youth when he worked as a Food and Beverage Mngr. in our country's National Parks. Now residing in Orange Beach, Rhonda and Scott are learning to fish the bay and gulf waters, making new friends, and enjoying bicycling to their cafe.
So walk, run, or bike to the Dancing Cup Cafe and taste what these two fifty somethings have brought to Orange Beach, AL.
