The entire social dance scene on Oahu is slowly moving very nicely into the Year 2018. The different disciplines are accepting the others and the fact, that every one should do as they prefer. As long as they not doing any intentional harm to anyone. West Oahu dance is expanding very nicely. I expect that we will be getting some dance news from the neighbor islands. We consider ourselves fortunate that we have had so many good dance instructors in the American Style of Dance.
We have accepted the Bachata in our social dancing and our DJs are really the berries when it comes to giving the social dancers what they want. Several years ago the Dominican group Aventura was probably the best known bachata group worldwide with its single "Obsesion" having dominated for a long time radio play both in Latin America, US Latino markets, and countries as distant as Italy and Sweden. The most popular of the modern bachateros has undeniably been Antony Santos. He was superseded in the international audience by Aventura, for the Dominican audience.
The basic footwork of plain vanilla bachata is a series of simple steps that produce a back and forth or sideways motion. A schematic footwork would be as follows: starting with the right foot make a chasse to the right on counts 1,2,3. On 4, touch the left toe beside your right foot (alternatively, tapping the left toe in place, i.e., apart from the right foot, make an upwards jerk with the left hip). Then do the same from your left foot. The character of the dance is achieved through sensual hip and body movements. And of course, you can get fancier than that.

Yes we have been truly shocked that in Hawaii, we have some people that love
getting lectured about patriotism and morality by a draft dodging, racist,
adulterer, reality show star who colluded with our enemies.
