We are LUCKY to have TWO directors for the Lady Luck Showtime Chorus!
Jan and Rose have shared a wonderful friendship over the years, and now they’ve teamed up for something even more exciting—directing the Lady Luck Showtime Chorus! By taking on the directorial role together, they’ve found the perfect way to blend leadership and their love of singing. You’ll often find them not only guiding the chorus but also jumping right in on the risers to sing alongside us. It’s a win-win—and it’s working beautifully!
With deep roots in Sweet Adelines, a history of quartet performances, and accolades like their fifth-place Regional Quartet medals with Road Trip Quartet, Jan and Rose bring a wealth of talent and heart to the table. Their passion and experience make them the perfect duo to inspire and guide us. We’re absolutely thrilled to have them at the helm!
Meet Jan Sloan:
Jan has been a dedicated Sweet Adeline since 1979, beginning her journey in Noblesville, Indiana, before making Las Vegas her musical home. Over the years, she has brought her talent and passion to multiple choruses in Nevada and Southern California.
A seasoned performer, Jan has earned numerous Regional chorus and quartet medals. She proudly holds an eighth-place International medal with Celebrity City Chorus and both second- and third-place International medals with the acclaimed Harborlites Chorus.
Jan’s deep knowledge, rich experience, and love for harmony make her a true asset to Lady Luck Showtime Chorus. She shares this musical adventure with her husband of 53 years, Jon, their two children, four grandchildren, and three great-grandsons. When she's not singing, you might find her riding motorcycles or volunteering with the American Legion.
About her role as co-director, Jan says, "I am grateful for the opportunity to co-direct this wonderful chorus."

Meet Rose Hettinga:
Rose has been a proud Sweet Adeline for over 30 years, starting with the Minnesota Valley Chorus, where she sang lead and later tenor, all while also directing a church choir. After earning her Family Nurse Practitioner degree, she moved to Las Vegas and joined Celebrity City Chorus, singing baritone and earning a top-ten International medal.
Rose became an early member of Lady Luck Showtime Chorus and eventually made it her home chorus. She has sung in several quartets, including one that placed in Region 11’s top five and was named Most Improved. When the chorus needed new leadership, Rose and longtime friend Jan stepped up to co-direct.
Rose brings a wealth of musical experience, warmth, and dedication to her role. She’s married to retired UNLV music instructor Warren Hettinga and has five children and five grandchildren. Outside of chorus, she stays musically active by singing in a church choir and playing French horn in two community bands.
