Oahu Dancing Marches On.

Dancing Nights, the blog, has the best stats of any blog on Oahu and for one good reason, Richie Fun and his blogging. I have several ways to figure this on my spreadsheet program and can predict a little. One good Two Center or the addition of a regular Guest Author would send this blog out in front of them all. If we can get one person to do the same in any other blog the proof will be in the pudding.

They are over ninety and she showed me the Valentine from her husband:
"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day
so I never have to live without you." We got nice people here.

I have to visit more night clubs near where I live in Pearl City, maybe Waipio? And the Rail Disaster area is pretty bad. The social dancers seem to be using more Rock steps and the Chasse. And the Rock Step is the same as a walking even step. Just rock back and forth, one, two, three, four and so on. But you can do wonders with a walking step in a dance like the waltz.

The chassé has an extra step in there and is a little more springy.  It can be used very nicely after a drink or two when the spirits are higher. There are many definitions for the Chassé, and you can absorb as many as you wish. Once you have the one you feel more comfortable with you must vary the basic movement to enjoy the music better,

The basic is easy, the lead goes forward one half of the pattern and backwards for the second half of the pattern in a four count measure. Then there are left turns, and right turns. Then there are left and right chassés. Then how about a cross body lead? Hey, hey, there is plenty there. How about Under Arm turns? And of course, most of us on Oahu are aware that if you get a rock step combined with a chassé, you gotta Cha Cha Cha. Hey, let's dance!

and we can dance them away."
