Just Barely Moving

In the movie Dance With Me, there is a scene reminiscent from the movie Strictly Ballroom. In this scene, the Cuban street dancer, Chayanne takes Vanessa Williams to a Salsa club. To her surprise, these street dancers, not "dance educated," are having a wonderful time and lots of fun. How did that happen?

Take a moment to evaluate where your dancing leans. Are you more of a realist, pragmatist or laissez faire? We cannot all be wrong - or right. The dancers are gradually beginning to know each other and that is key, our blogs are already making it happen through our reader/dancers, our Two-Centers and what few Guest Authors we are lucky to get.

There are questions raised to be pondered. Who is having the most fun, the street dancers or the studio dancers or the night club dancers with all their rules and techniques? Obviously, dancing fun and satisfaction can be different. Our social club dancers are 80% street dancers and willing to dance in malls, gas stations, school cafeterias, district parks, community centers and occasionally at the famous Palladium and even in night clubs.

But places to dance are still very difficult to come by. Some flatly refuse on the grounds that they are not "dance halls." Foster Village had a nice place at the Vets, but they were not going to have a "dance hall" in their place. Would have been perfect all the way for Kalihi folk too.

A night club for our kind of dance will most likely appear in Pearl City or Pearlridge where it would be easily available to most dancers in the West. Unfortunately there will not be a Dance Pavilion in Waipio, the City has to pay for the Rail Calamity. The Rail Party hasn't done anything yet but already spending millions of dollars. Of course we haven't seen nuttin' yet. Billions and Billions of dollars are going to go down the drain and for what?

Nobody ever asked the users of Public Transportation. All decisions were made in Ivory Towers. Every bus driver on this island knows that and all are fully aware of the screw-ups by the Rail Party.
