Progress

We do have many of the younger beginners that have danced ballet, modern, and tap and happened to stumble upon ballroom dancing. They begin to suspect that there are benefits in dancing in Night Clubs.  However, they also begin to realize that it is for a more experienced older generation, a solid Night Club crowd. But the younger group has a different agenda for dancing. And they love anything new, and they seek being up to date, they will take it easy and assimilate. Most of us agree that they should do as they please. No Hu Hu.

"From all the drama, backstabbing and tattling, sometimes I cannot figure out if I am in elementary school or middle school,  Oh wait, I am in social dancing."


The longevity of a ballroom dancer's career is much longer than that of a ballerina or modern dancer and age does not really have much to do with our dancing. Certainly not because the steps are slower and we can face it that the classics over a couple hundred years are the ballads in any language. "How much is that dogie in the window" Number one in "The Hit Parade" in  the US 60 years ago. Very few remember that song.


That is much different than a "classic social song." They are not going to play "Tennessee Waltz" this week and we don't mind. But when they do, we will flock to the floor and dance it to our hearts content. The people in Hawaii are becoming more aware of this fact but it is taking time. We just want to enjoy the night without hurting anyone else, we can hope, that they may permit us.
