Well,
it is pretty apparent that there will be a lot of action in downtown
Honolulu for the Holiday Season. Why not? They have a perfect right to it. I guess it has always been that way.
Sooner than we think, there will be big doings in the Central Valley, the Waianae Coast and the North
Shore. This being tied to your masters in town is not
da reel teeng. Many people in the West are slowly coming to the conclusion that
there may be different styles of dance and Social Dance is our cup of tea.
There are those styles that are meant to be seen, competition or exhibition or theatrical purposes. Let's face, they can look very nice and people still enjoy being an audience.They may be quite different from those that learn to dance for the pleasure of moving to music. And even that can differ according to the music. Country Dancing is a fine style, with its different ramifications, Waltz, line, two step etc and to their own preferred kind of music. They set up the correct ways of dancing their style to facilitate dancing with each other. Let us not knock it. Sounds all right to me.
Standardizing the steps for instance has for decades been done in all kinds of social dance. Facilitates the lead and follow for everyone. However you are not likely to find Salsa, Tango or Viennese Waltz danced in certain placces, it is accepted and no one complains. Salsa Dancing is also a fine style with its ramifications, Bachata, Merengue and Cha Cha Cha. They also set up the accepted ways of dancing their styles to facilitate dancing with each other. And with dance teachers being what they have always been, the steps get fancier and more difficult and are definitely getting more into the Gold level and beyond. Our dance blogs may eventually be read by all dancers in Hawaii.
"Social dancers know very well, that the types of social dances and
styles change with the times and we go with the flow."
