Some dancers are beginning to realize the perils for us in accepting just anyone as Guest Blogger in our blogs and they are right. Ha! I hadn't thought of it that way. Any dance club can get three or four of their members to get in as Guest Bloggers on a blog and then for all practical purposes the blog would belong to the club and all for their members. Neat. However, it would not work out that way for long because they would only have the club readers and it would not be island wide.
We do not have to be so careful in accepting anyone that can be independent and free to write their own opinions and not be governed by any outside group. If they favor one group it is up to them, no hu hu. They should have freedom of the press. We must avoid the mouthpieces from anywhere. This is getting ticklish now. We want and need people that can express their own opinions in these blogs. That becomes Social Media. You want to write about your club? Fine with us, everyone is welcome, just be careful you are not too much some ones mouthpiece.
In Japan, although ballroom dance has waxed and waned in popularity since it was first introduced in the 19th century, the film "Shall We Dance" helped spread its appeal. In this century it is no longer an elitist form, as imported from Europe, this dance has gone casual and become a social dance. People today are holding parties with canned juice and peanuts, dancing up a storm. Women are flocking to studios in twirly skirts and shimmering dancing shoes. Many use the competitions to attire themselves in eye-stopping fantasy wear of plunging necklines, ostrich feathers and glittering rhinestones they would dare not wear anywhere else.
“Social dancers believe that nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.”
