New Dance Club

Yes, I heard about it in town, but most people realize that there are enough dance clubs in town already. And the Rail Crisis is going to screw up lot of people. Now a perfect spot for a new dance club is between the Stadium and Chinatown and far enough away from the Rail, steel on steel noise. There are plenty of dancers living in the area, many of which attend town functions only.

"Start by doing what is necessary; then do what's possible;

and suddenly you are doing the impossible."

Of course, dozens of dancers on Oahu who began as social dancers become interested in raising their level of expertise. Specially at the Palladium where they can see an advanced form of dancing that becomes a highly skilled and almost an athletic performance. And there are many that become interested in participating in exhibition and competition dancing. Shouldn't be any hu hu there.

We should all be able to understand and be supportive of these people. None of us are clones and we do not expect clones. We are all individuals with individual likes and dislikes. However we can also accept that many of us are just social dancers and that is the way we get our kicks.

Sorry folks but in Facebook I am out. Five years ago, it was easy to set up shop on Facebook and stand out. Just having an ordinary page was a marketing advantage, because you had access to a new pool of players and most web sites were either too lazy or unaware of any serious challenge. And there were too few dance blogs available.

These days however, there are millions of Facebook pages for everything from Tide detergent to kayak rentals in Tanzania and the whole system is becoming increasingly more commercial, competitive and challenging to navigate. Those who had the foresight to get into the game early are now reaping the benefits of that audience.

Those who are entering the field late are having a considerable uphill battle in front of them. It’s much, much harder to stand out in a crowded marketplace and that’s exactly what Facebook has become. They get 350 million photos daily. They missed one of yours? Those that have a business find their engagement, content creation and of course advertising costs way up. So I am out, Thank God!
