The Change

This blog has not been this low in hits for a year. Screwed up by a Robot in Russia, but we gotta take it as it comes. My cutting back on the blogging and the reorganization in the West seems to be going right. It may turn out that it was just what was needed. There is a much bigger percentage of social dancers in the West sector. In town we have a bigger portion in the exhibition and competition areas. Let's just get along as best we can.

Can dancing ever be ‘rough’? Do dancers ever get injured?

Well, many have sprained their achilles tendons and developed Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) in both feet. Many have pulled muscles in their back, fingers and calves. Some have had their partners split their lip with an elbow in Jive and many have regularly been assaulted by stiletto heels. Yes, dancing can get hairy! Most of the injuries dancers get result from either pulled muscles and from injuries resulting from dancing in high heels, twisted ankles and impaled toes. The faster the dance the more likely the injury.

A portion of the instructions from on high:
"For movement variability, all three body regions were normally distributed, although seven of their 38 constituent parts were not. We found significant positive correlations between dance ratings and central body region variability with all components being important, these were: neck flexion
extension; neck abduction adduction (head sideways tilting); neck internal external rotation (head shaking); trunk flexion extension; trunk adduction abduction; and trunk internal external rotation (twisting)." Anyone know what they are talking about?

And I really don't believe we need five more dance clubs on this Island. Traffic in town is going to get worse and no one can do anything to stop it. We could use one more dance club in Honokai Hale or even Nanakuli, that would be perfect. The North Shore looks good. We will see what happens with new blog set up in the West. We are getting more interested dance teachers from the Mainland and that is strictly money so they should do as they please.
