The West

Kapolei, the Waianae Coast and the North Shore are waiting. But the Central Valley seems to be wide open in Waipio or Mililani. Most of the social dancers go to Honolulu and do not attend regularly. We need places where we can dance in Waipio or Mililani. Schools are raising prices to pay for the Rail Disaster. However, if we have to, we shall dance in the streets. If you do not have a Web site, this blog may be the way to communicate to the reader/dancers, all the dancers not just your club dancers.

"Experienced Social Dancers believe that Fox Trot and the Rumba are the two

easiest and most comfortable to dance to your favorite music."

For the average man and women, dancing is one of those inescapable facts of life. They are all aware that it comes up over and over again in social party situations. They might as well learn to become passable at it. It's not as hard to pick up the basics as they may think, on Oahu we have some of the best teachers in the Pacific. It's smoother sailing once they know how to do it, and it tends to score them points in lots of situations. In social dancing they don't have to reach a particularly high standard.

They just need to be good enough to get on the dance floor and blend in with everyone else, They do not want to look like an idiot, and they want to feel comfortable while they are there. Lots of people are at least somewhat awkward about dancing, that's why they have to down a few drinks and wait for the dance floor to get busy before they step out on it. You don't have to look like someone out of a music video, you've just got to be decent enough to get by. Being better than the minimum never hurts of course, but just knowing the basics will put you way ahead of all the non-dancers out there.
