Got there early enough before six, on the Handi-Van and the place was already jumping. And people were still coming in. Six thirty, the set up crews were working a good buffet with Crab legs, the delicacy of the night. Don't kid yourself, the rest of the meal was delicious too.
Social dance in Hawaii is a category of partner dances that have a social function and context. Social dances are generally intended for participation rather than performance and can be led and followed with relative ease. Many of the movements are based on the American style of dance. They are often danced merely to socialize and for entertainment, though they may have ceremonial and competitive functions. These photos were at this beautiful shindig.
I have "fumbleitis" so that I can no longer take photos but fortunately I have been lucky and found many that are willing to take a few photos to share with our fellow dancers here on this blog. The photogs should make their own decisions but two people are better than one, and three people are better than two. You can guess why. However, 19 is not better that 18. Fortunately I got enough photos for yesterday's Social Dance Oahu blog and enough for this one too.
The Wahiawa Ballroom Dance Club’s Christmas Masquerade Ball was a huge success and I would like to thank all the people who came to it, that made this all possible. The night was sprinkled with magic! People fulfilled all of the goals for the evening. To dance like nobody’s watching, to hang loose, and to keep the momentum going! The room was full of fun and laughter and colorful, beautiful costumes. Hung magnificently from the photo stands, was a giant masquerade ball mask. Just another beautiful thing to capture our beautiful moments.
Wow, this party was a smashing success. People in Afghanistan nor South Africa are going to know about it. But they sure are becoming aware of it on the Island of Oahu. Think it over, there may be a difference you did not think about. Not much in the neighbor islands. Anyway, this is our kuleana.
