The Central Valley

Doris Kawaguchi, Waipio

Many think that dance is: Just for fun - Or being sexy or sensual - For women & little girls - For learning steps & tricks - Or that dance is just ballet, tap & hip hop for young kids. We could try to find other ways to change this perception of dance - specially our group, the largest group on Oahu - "the Social Dancers," or some may call it, the Recreational, Because dance can be used to solve problems and help us enjoy life in a better way.

“Social dancers think that if you can talk, you can sing.
If you can walk, you can dance.”


Does this apply to men too? Dance can exercise the brain for everyone. Simply moving to music brings an increased blood flow to the brain. - Moving also involves lower brain centers like the cerebellum in which we can be one with the world. And with our group, the social dancers, it is especially pleasing to move to our preferred music in ways acceptable in our kind of dancing.

A good social dance evening on a Saturday night can be treasured for years. Dance is popping up all over on Oahu. Town is pretty well crowded and the traffic even on weekends can be pretty bad. I see all kinds of signs, though not much is solid yet for the future. Most of the dance clubs operate in a somewhat private fashion. We are overdue for an open to the public dance club without too many commandments. (Thou Shalt Not ... )

"Sometimes we must let go of the life we have planned,
so as to accept the one that is waiting for us."
