Wot Snew?

Night Clubs are ready, willing and able to attend to dancers on Oahu. As this century and our dancing on Oahu continues to evolve, our biggest social dance groups may get smaller and our smaller groups may get bigger and more of them, Waianae and the North Shore is just about there, as people are getting more independent and want to dance their way. Our social dance groups are growing and still based on the American Style of Dance. We certainly are fortunate to have so many good teachers of the American Style of dance on this Island. And some dancers have noticed that there may be differences in the teaching. You got Rules? Who set them there?

 "Social dancers believe that you should not let what
you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”


You Tube and the dancing from Africa, you have all seen them before. Just up and down, left, right, left, right to the beat. That was the beginning about 10 thousand years ago. And it is generally accepted that the order was, agriculture, drums, music and dance, throughout the world and independently.The inhabitants of earth learned to dance, which at the time was merely to move the body, any part of the body, to the beat of the drum or music. And this all took maybe four thousand years to develop different moves.

Mexico is the only place in the Americas where indigenous writing systems were invented and used before European colonization. Though most were destroyed by the Spanish as blasphemy. These stupid Indian Astrologers had the nerve to say that the earth moves around the sun. Dumb Dodos. It took the Europeans another century to realize that the Indians knew what they were talking about. In Mexico, they learned to dance and somewhere along the line some of their professional dancers developed the Rock Step. It was basically the same incessant step except that they moved the body a little more in the direction of the step, back and forth.
