Very interesting that the "to be seen" groups, (the competition and exhibition dancers) are not that many in West Oahu. Though we sure have a lot of good dancers here. We don't have much to do with them as they would rather not. And they will perhaps be covered more thoroughly in their own Blog or Web sites. Then there was a new "class" that was developing strongly in the nineties and which is now tapering off. The "viewers," the audience for the new Show Business of "Ballroom." New Divisions such as Cabaret, Acrobatic and Theater arose.
All of this was show business and meant to be seen. By whom? By the "Viewers" of course. So they have established quite a little group which is entirely theirs as long as we all are aware of the differences. It is in a state of reorganization in this century and it is still held in respect by two of the oldest dance clubs on the Island. Wahiawa Ballroom Dance Club and Aiea Ballroom Dance Association. The anchor had been in Kapolei because they were going be second city but it now in Wahiawa and Aiea. I am working on getting as many as I can into our circle of recognition especially if they do not have a Web site.
We had a slide show at one time but dropped it and we hope to get some help and suggestions for starting another. Comments at the end of each blog are no longer desired. Most are anonymous and they want to sell something or whatever. I will continue to attempt to make contact with any other dance that can use the Public Relations in a blog. May be difficult for those that already have a Web site. We are also receptive to any night club dancing in this section, but most already have Web sites and are covered by other blogs, so no need us. Feedback we need.
