Social Dancing

By Jonathan Kim, Kaiihi

Dancing is one of the most valuable assets you can acquire in life. Social dancing permits you to step forth into a colorful, glamorous setting and dance your way to fun, friends and happiness. Say, how about a Tea Dance on every Wednesday evening? Anywhere on Oahu is just fine.

 “In our dance world, much of what has been said has not mattered,

and much of what has mattered has not be said.”

Rhythm, we all have it. Our hearts beat to rhythm, and we walk in rhythm and there are many other things we do in rhythm. Many doctors recommend social dancing as perfect exercise for keeping the lungs and heart strong and healthy. It is also a healthy way to release pent-up tensions and forget worries.

No special equipment is required to participate, and there is almost no risk of injury. Trying to comform to the disciplines may be difficult but most social dancing is easy.  Best of all, dancing teaches the important social graces necessary to relate comfortably to a person of the opposite sex.

And in Honolulu there are numerous places where you can dance in an exclusive dance environment. And of course, there are plenty of Night Clubs with many different kinds of music, dances and age groups. You can pick the ones you are more comfortable in.
