Social Dancing?

There are dancing clubs all over the world and in different classifications. On Oahu there has never been differentials stipulated. You go Night Clubbing for instance. All the same? Of course not. But not many will point out the difference. You go to a Social Dance Club dance and all the same? Of course not, but not many make a distinction. And that is coming about specially in West Oahu.

"While some dancers hesitate because they feel inferior, other dancers

are busy making mistakes and becoming superior."

How about in Central Oahu. Dot's in Wahiawa has a very nice social dance crowd of steady customers. But they are not the same as Just Tacos in Mililani with their very nice Salsa crowd of dancers. There will be more and different in Kapolei where they are desperately trying to establish second city in spite of the Present Rail Party. To live, work and play in their own kuleana.

And what of our good friends and neighbors who can’t social dance? Many have mainly focused on performing learned steps and figures. They do not spend enough time social dancing with more basic moves and learning to adapt and create on one’s own. I have even seen the cross body lead in Waltz and I believe it is illegal or something. I have never seen it taught on Oahu but what do I know?

Many of our club dancers can be amazing on the stage and execute performances with precision but because of the intense training or other reasons they are not able to make it out to the clubs and learn to improvise. If they develop a Rootzi Tootzi attitude they are sunk. Junk dancer is not an acceptable term in a Night Club.
