Night Clubing

A nightclub (also known as a dance club or club) is an entertainment venue which usually operates late into the night all over the Hawaiian Islands. A nightclub is generally distinguished from bars, pubs or taverns by the inclusion of a "dance floor." And the busiest night for a nightclub is Saturday night. Most of us know all that.

"Those who undertake to set themselves up as a judges of Truth and
Knowledge will be shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."

The music in nightclubs is either live bands or, more commonly, a mix of songs played by a DJ through a powerful PA system. Most clubs or club nights cater to different kinds of music genres. And it has often brought together people from all walks of life and backgrounds

Much of the dancing has been a genre for young people to explore sexuality and push the envelope on the dancefloor. Dance clubs have acted as an escape from depressing environments and acted as a fantasy that  marginalized peoples could escape to forget the difference in social classes.

By the late 1970s Hawaii had thriving disco club scenes which were centered around discothèques, nightclubs, and private loft parties where DJs would play the latest disco hits. The DJs played a smooth mix of long single records to keep people dancing all night long.


Some of the most prestigious clubs had elaborate lighting systems that throbbed to the beat of the music. And some cities had disco dance instructors or dance schools which taught people how to do popular disco dances such as "touch dancing", the "hustle" and the "cha-cha-cha".

As always we need the Information Contributors. I make the offer to everyone but each one must make their own decision - tomorrow, next week, next month. Somebody has got to take the blame, and it ain't gonna be me.

Big Band: The name applied to the large orchestras that were popular before WWII. Gradually gone into obsolescence.
