The Dance Scene on Oahu

It is evolving very nicely and the dancers in Hawaii take good advantage of the holidays. Happy Valentine's Day everyone. The outskirts still going slowly but that is to be expected. Just Tacos And More in Waianae has live music on Wednesdays and Thursdays. And Cholo's Homestyle on the North Shore has Salsa. Waianae is overdue for some Bachata,


"Truth is the only safe ground to stand on, however in our
dance scene, many dancers may believe anything,
so long as it is not founded on truth."

Our blogosphere is at a plateau. I started the week badly and had to go to Emergency at Tripler. Nine hours and tough getting home. I have pulled back the offerings to level 5, which is every fifth day for each blog. And I hope to leave it that way to at least April. I will know more by then. Our dance friends of all ages enjoy sharing stories of their daily fun activities, especially with other friends that are far away and cannot experience it.


Years ago Pen Pals were a tradition known to help form friendships between two people. Now many people are doing it just blogging specially on Oahu. And it is so simple, no commitments and you blog whenever you damn well please. And you have a ready made audience of dancers. Though it is quite apparent that our audience is definitely in the over 30 age bracket and we can adjust to that very nicely in our blogging.


Most social dance clubs, because of the Palladium connection, build up memberships during the 90s, that were double the membership they have at present. And of course, the new clubs diluted the membership available. Many are still holding on by a hair. Everyone always knew who were the top five, but now there have been some changes. One in the top five is no more and another has taken its place. And with the West and the North Shore moving into contention, the days of dancing at the Palladium will not be the same.

"In dancing, we can start late, look different, be uncertain
and still come out good."
