That guy over there dancing like a horse stuck in a muddy swamp is having the time of his life. He knows he is not the best dancer in the crowd but he is willing to keep learning because he is having fun just moving to the music. He is a social dancer and there are no qualifying scores to use. There are a few things that will make his dancing to his favorite music more enjoyable. bit no one is going to tell him that it is heel, toe, toe. Or is it the other way around? Hell, I don't know. Our only difficulty is the disciplined cliques developed in every dance group.
We should all know that an organization that is relatively free of strong cliques can be very good for the social dancer. Night Clubs? Careful there too. Many cliques there are adverse to anything that may resemble "Ballroom" dancing. They can be rootzi tootzi about it too. I hope that in these blogs we will gradually cover only the most pleasant places to dance our way. Which ever way social dancing may someday be defined, we do not have to look "down" at anyone else's style of dance. Specially in West Oahu.
The new social dance clubs are coming, sure as hell. Everyone in our blogs has the power to spread the good word about our kuleana. The key is to have our people focus on a somewhat unified, motivational message. Short statements built around our core passion or cause, and blog it. Your opinion is what counts and you don't have to understand our blog's mission. And whether they're at the mall, a social dance or at a night club, when someone asks them what they do, each of them can do a little spreading of the right message
“While I dance I can not judge. I can not hate, I can not separate myself from life.
I can only be joyful and whole. This is why I dance.” - Hans Bos
