DownTown

The most advertised dancing on Oahu seems to be Salsa & Bachata and coming up Zumba and Kizomba - African dances. All well and good for someone interested in African dances. And they are heavy in Twitter, Facebook and Web sites. So they have plenty of public relations working for them. They definitely have no use for a blog and we mustn't blame them. But there many other venues on Oahu. And they do not have extensive public relations programs working. What is the purpose of going to a club, anyway? For some, it’s just to experience dancing. If that’s your aim you’ll have fun no matter what happens. Just dance and be happy.

“Social dancers sometimes focus too much on the lyrics that they forget to dance to
the music. And sometimes they dance to the music and don't listen to the lyrics.
Let the rhythm guide you. Let the lyrics inspire you.”


For the rest of us, dancing can help us achieve other goals, such as meeting new people. When our goal is to become more social, dancing is the ultimate ice breaker. Instantly impressive, dancing can convince people to give you that all important chance to show them how nice you really are. So what do you do when you get that chance? You have to strike! When the dance ends and your partner is smiling, out of breath and leading you off the floor you have a few moments to use your advantage.

Compliment them (if they haven’t complimented you already) and ask a few general questions about them, Ask where they learned to dance. If Latin Dancing is what you both have in common, use it. Try to clarify, slowly what you like about Latin dancing which is not from Europe or Africa. It is from Latin America from Mexico all the way down to Argentina and Chile. An ice breaker is simply a topic you know you can connect on. Listen and add your own input when asked. Next thing you know you’ll be chatting the night away! A night club does not have to be a rowdy place.
