Beginners

I hear of them every day even if I don't see them. Social dancers that have had a very limited interest and knowledge of partner dancing. Now some people, even over fifty have shown some interest in getting into "Ballroom Dancing" somewhat more deeply. There are no age limits and everyone can decide for themselves. If you are interested in ballroom dance but don’t know where to begin, a good place to start is in a beginner dance class at your nearest dance club. Most dance clubs are in Honolulu but there are some in West Oahu. Look around and ask your friends and neighbors.

Learning the most widely known partner dances can make you a good guest in any social gathering, and bring some fun and culture to your life at the same time. When you sign up for ballroom dance lessons, the information from your fellow students can also help you understand more about the various types of ballroom dance. When someone refers to “American or International” styles of dance for example, they may be talking about different dances. Social dancing on Oahu is amalgamated dances based mostly on the American style.

International is well known as a exhibition and competition style of dance. And there are many excellent dancers in this discipline. An adjudicator in competition dancing is a person qualified by the Dance Societies to judge dancers in a competition. With good reason, they must apply the same principles to each competitor to be fair, an increasing requirement throughout the world. However, it does not apply to us, the social dancer/viewers.  We know what we like without anyone else's rules.

"Social dancers really believe that dance is not only a wonderful
way to express yourself but also a fantastic spare time
activity you can  enjoy with your dance partners."
