The Internationals

I am glad to see Richie bringing some Internationals into Town Dancer blog. The only International here is Calvin Ota and he has a big readership of International people. And although I am just a social dancer, I think they should have a voice in the dance community. They have a different way of dancing and I can live with that. And Town Dancer would be a perfect avenue.

 

"The truest expression of a people is in their dance and in their music. Bodies never lie."

Mr. Sugino and wife Joanne, introduced International Style of dance to the Ballroom dance scene in the late 60's and they were instrumental in creating the Pan Pacific Dance Society. And they have been instrumental in creating other dance clubs also dedicated to the promotion of International Style of Dance. And since then, according to our connections, their studios have consistently produced the best International Style Dancers in the Pacific, bar none.

The Cultural Dancer will be the main focus in all our blogs but we can certainly include news of the peripherals. Line, Salsa, Swing and Tango too. And the Cultural Dancer DJs have a better understanding of the difference in Caucasian music and Latin music. Just because the music has a quick, quick and a chasse beat does not make it a Cha Cha Cha to a Cultural Dancer. An Information and/or Photos contributor from any of these peripherals would be welcomed. Could lead to be a Guest Author and get their opinion in for the reader/dancers.

"Coming around the back stretch, it's Town Dancer in front by a length and a half. Honolulu Dance Club is second by a head, Oahu And Beyond is third by two lengths, number four - -, five - -, six - - and Dancing in the Dark. When he got to the "and" you knew that was the horse in last place."

"Through these blogs read the most informed cultural dancers in the Pacific."
