Something To Keep
A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. No one is so rich and mighty that they can get along without it, and no one is so poor that they cannot be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is a countersign for friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote to trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. So give them one of yours, as no one needs a smile so much as those who have none to give.
Meanwhile, the young Latin Scene is evolving. The slow down of the Salsa is definitely here at the beginning of 2018. And most dancers are aware of Bachata and the fact that we have some of the best Salsa music in the Pacific right here on Oahu, live and DJ. So we must help all our friends in the Salsa scene. Perhaps a revival will take hold.
If you remember, Labada lasted less than ten years and Reggaeton came and went in less than three. the dance instructors made millions of dollars. Mambo had that magic at one time but it too is lost now. We must expand our coverage of Salsa. Meanwhile, we must include Bachata, for it is coming up fast. Kizomba and Zouk are coming in slowly but the more experienced Latin dancers will still go for the dances that have been there from the old Latin scene.
"Let us read and let us dance - two amusements that will never do any harm to the world."
