Latin Dancing

Most of us do not define the possible music that we wish to dance to. We dance to what is offered and we take it or leave it. But shouldn't our choice of music come first, then we dance to it? There are many people that simply do not understand that. In Latin America waltz should be the first, simply because it is not so localized in one country or particular section of one country. It is danced more or less the same all over Latin American. Has anyone on Oahu ever danced a waltz with rock step and a chassé?

 “Social dancers believe that they should take action towards their dreams. Walk their talk - dance and sing to their music. Make the day worth remembering.”

Some of the best Waltzes ever composed have been by Latin composers from Argentina to Mexico. It may be illegal in the Caribbean. I think Rumba should be next because it evolved long before it got to Cuba via the Mayan Indian route. Probably just the rock step and the slow count and done in whatever ways the music and the beat asked for. It has also evolved into the sexiest dance in the world. There was none of that Clave stuff either. The sticks were only played in a five count measure. Cha Cha Cha is probably next but not that watered down and fancy business which we have today.

I mean Cha Cha Cha with all the frills, whistles and bells. We must find a way to reinstall the finer sounding way. There has just never been as good a sound anywhere at anytime. My opinion? -- Yes. "There has got to be a more difficult way of dancing?" In this day people can and will dance on all counts. As long as it is one consistent basic throughout the music, the couples are in sync and having fun. That is the name of the game. Unless you are a competition dancer and that is different game.

if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance anyway.”
