Dancing Show Business

From an old magazine:

Headline: 'Superstars of Dance' premiere: Just, WHY? ... I do recommend viewing the show as if it's an intentionally arranged nightmare ... which is pretty much the definition of what it is ANYWAY ... aggghh, mind melt!" Annie Barrett, Entertainment Weekly.

Headline: 'Superstars': A Blinding Onslaught of Glitz "If last night's premiere of 'Superstars of Dance' is any guide, you'll need a strong stomach -- and preferably an empty one -- to watch the second installment of the show tonight." Sarah Kaufman, the Washington Post.

"The best dancing rules rest on the dancers, and not on the few wheels, on persons and not presumed knowledge, on the free development of public opinion and not on authority"
 
After a few years viewer appreciation has definitely peaked and reached the law of diminishing returns. The costumes for the ladies in Latin and even in Ballroom, had been leaning more to the "sexy," to attract more viewers. But there were many complaints that some costumes are unsuitable for family viewing. While Latin dancing is renowned for its sexy costumes, some viewers reportedly believe some are taking it too far and are “embarrassingly revealing”.

"The hardest math to master is that which enables us
to count our blessings."

In a couple of months we will know for sure if the trend has been confirmed by everyone. In Hawaii, many are looking for the same level of interest, but most simply do not know.

Apprentice Blogger Wanted. Should reside on Oahu and available to attend a dance function now and then. Information can be submitted by email along with a photo or two. I may furnish a point and shoot camera. Two Centers need about two minutes of instruction. Within a week or so, they should be able to decide which blog they wish to Guest Author.

Guest Authors can learn to blog on their own or with little coaching from the sidelines. They can get in, write, include photos, save and publish and get out without saying boo to anyone. From there, they can definitely help to get more fellow bloggers and make one of the blogs independent and able to operate without me.
