Many night clubbers are still using the American Rumba basic in Hawaii that was introduced by the Arthur Murray studios in a box of slow, quick, quick. Fred Astaire used it when he started the Fred Astaire Studios. When Arthur Murray complained in the courts he won. Fred Astaire then changed his box to quick, quick, slow and he got away with it. Since his studios took over the American competitions his square box has prevailed in most of the American style competitions.
In Hawaii there an increasing acceptance of the Salsa-Mambo basic for the Rumba, with the break in the rock step beginning wherever the beat is accented. The rest of the movements just fall into place. This is melding into the Social dance and the Night Club dance that is occurring now - and there is more to come. The good thing is that the social - recreational dancer will be the one making the decisions not someone in an ivory tower.
The Right Way to dance is becoming evident. Portuguese dancing is just beautiful and how about Hawaiian dancing? The berries. Japanese Bon Dance? Terrific and many appreciate it around the world. And everyone looks upon these people as "Dancers" and we don't have to judge whether or not they are dancing it "Correctly." For sure we are getting more regular social partner dancers in Night Clubs and the appeal is still the beautiful music to move to - the constant movement, and learning the lead and follow.
We are not standing still, we learn to do turns - we have to put our brain into it. Many men don't like to dance because they have to know the lady's step and of course, they have to know their own step. We have to know the lead. Then we get fussed at when we mess up. Still, it can be done at any level — from new students walking through patterns and learning new muscle memory thought processes to more evolving social dancers.

no such thing as a blogger. Blogging is just writing — not even good writing
at that, just using a particularly efficient type of publishing technology."
