Where?

by Jonathon Wright, Maili

I am a single man and I want to go Night Clubbing on Oahu. Just anywhere? No of course not, we all have our preferences. I live on the Waianae Coast so a night club on the Coast would be ideal. Those that live near the North Shore would prefer that location too. I can only go to the Central Valley, you don't want anything near the Rail Tragedy, so Kapolei and Waipahu are out.

 “Social dancers say that the feeling may be less of alcohol and just being drunk on life. Moving to the music and experiencing absolute bliss — unadulterated and unconfined.”

Next is price and most places are reasonable, however there are definitely high price night clubs and they intend on making the money in liquor sales as in the old days. But these would be mainly in Town or the Waikiki area. The cover charges may also vary and may also be affected by live or DJ music. Most Night Club fans seem to prefer live music and we are so fortunate to have so many good musicians on Oahu.

Next is music and let us face it. DJs have a bigger variety and the most up to date music available. This music is for the more youthful dancers and their dance movements. Live bands are well appreciated for playing the oldies but goodies and their fans are the more experienced dancers. There are over one million songs released annually in the US. So reducing them to the ten best every year will give you some masterpieces that you can enjoy for as long as you live. If it is one of my favorite Rumbas, I can consider myself very fortunate indeed.

“Social dancers will dance together and be joyous, but they let each one alone,

as the strings of a guitar are alone though they quiver with the same music.”
