New Arrows

Seems to be going in the right direction, this section from the stadium to Chinatown. And I am not the one to say so, the reader/dancers will make the final decisions. But so far, so good. Now we need a good name for this blog as long as we know we are Dancing in Hawaii.

"We sometimes must remind ourselves that we are not perfect

and we must accept it."

We have a little action in Chinatown, and we have the fabulous Dream To Dance Studio in Palama. There is a dance club in Kalihi but we don't know much about it. The only conclusion for us is that there will be a new dance club in this area. Perhaps in the Salt Lake Area, but it must be well away from the Rail Disaster.

Most of the agenda has been set by me, namely to spread the credit around, no one is the star, least of all me. We must continually seek other views and opinions. We must get photos of more different people. The same ones month after month is counter productive for our aims.

Q: How do you get a tissue to dance?

A: Put a little boogie in it!

At the same time we are standardizing the dance that we dance, what are we going to call it, Social, Fusion, Cultural, Universal or Free Style dance? And the invitation to all outsiders is being very well understood by most of our readers. We are not going to get there overnight.

Falls are the most common type of fatal unintentional injuries in Hawaii averaging over 108 each year. Falls are also the leading cause of nonfatal injuries in the state with nearly 21,000 emergency room visits and 2,700 hospitalizations each year.  More than three quarters of the victims are aged 65 or older and the risk of fatal falls increases dramatically as seniors move into higher age ranges.  The emotional and fiscal burden associated with fall injuries is significant.
