Our Syllabi

In this century we have a terrific choice of social dances much of it from the syllabi of the American and International Styles. The Bolero, Paso Doble and the Viennese Waltz have lost ground. We have Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Nightclub Two Step, Salsa, Bachata, Rumba, Cha-cha, Samba, Mambo, Hustle, Lindy Hop, and many that are still in the fad stage, The fad dances will of course come and go as they always have. And most of the fad dancers are the young. They are willing to try anything.

“Social dancers believe that hoping is how the impossible can be

possible after all and we can dance again.”

The over thirty have been around and they are well acquainted with the music that they have loved for decades. They develop a fondness for the "Oldies But Goodies" and even those change slowly as time goes by. Moving to that music and using the same movements over and over again in sheer joy is it for social dancers. There is the present solid Latin music and dance. Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Latin Waltz, Samba, and Tango. The rest, at present, will be gingerbread and time will tell. Anyone remember the "Lambada?" It must have lasted at least seven, eight years. It has been estimated that in the US, 50 million dollars were spent in Lambada lessons.

"Besame Mucho" by Stan Kenton

We shall dance in the Streets.

Now, the latest are Zouk, Zumba and Kizomba, the last being passed off as an African dance. Many are doubtful as to how they developed and they have been around a couple years. We no longer have the "reel teeng." and there will be others. The most solid coming up is the Mexican which at the moment has been close to 100 different dances with 50 different styles of music. When they prune this down to half, the rest of us can make some choices and they will be included in the "Latin" dance clubs.

"If you accept the expectations of others, specially negative ones,
then you will never change the outcome."

Average Dancer?

By Chunho Kim, Kalealoa, two years ago.

Do you have to be the best dancer on the dance floor to have a great time? Ha Ha Ha. If you want to maximize your social dancing fun on Oahu, you simply need to become "average" and take your time enjoying the journey from beginner to average. Even if you are not the outstanding super star, you can be having a better time than half the guys in the room. I say this to all the newer leads who will listen: The fun in dancing is amplified dramatically when you get yourself into that "average" skill level.

"Social dancers believe that hope is a good thing, maybe even the

best of things, and good things are something to hope for."

There is nothing wrong for working toward being the best on the dance floor, but getting into the top 50% on Oahu changes the dynamics of partner dancing forever. Once you're as good as half the guys in any room, you grow even faster because your more experienced partners are much happier dancing with you. Part of the followers night is spent dancing with guys below your level, so you start earning a spot on their "preferred list." Some partners position themselves closer to you so you almost have to ask them or risk being rude (it may be a problem when it happens).

"Country Roads" by Bruddah Iz

One of these days

Dancing with stronger partners improves your game too, and it creates its own momentum. At the same time, when dancing with newer follows (who grow much faster than most new guys), they recognize you're better than many others and as they grow, they also want more dances with you. You win with both sets of potential partners. Just the fact that you've grown to the average level lets them know that you'll probably continue improving, and ladies are attracted to guys who are improving over time. Even if you reduce the pace of your direct learning, you’ll still grow with the momentum of your stronger partners.

No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today,

life does go on, and it may be better tomorrow.”

The Two Center

I thank all of you for any contributions of content to any one of my blogs. Not only do I appreciate your participation, but the readers on Oahu show it and I can see the hits go through the roof. I would like to make things as easy as possible for all of you to share your awesome content with us. Specially nowadays when we are so limited in actual dancing. Every little bit counts and all the blogs will be different. So what’s it like being a Two Center? Basically it has been defined by many others many years ago, They are just dancers willing to "stick in their 2 cents" of information for the benefit of their fellow dancers.

“Social dancers believe that we got more yesterday than anybody.

We will always hope and need some nice tomorrow.”

And many are willing to do so regularly. How regularly? Entirely up to them. Social Dance Club or Dance Studio affiliation has no bearing on the matter as far as we are concerned. The goal is to make dancing fun, beneficial, and easy for everyone on Oahu. From the reader/dancers point of view, it is having the benefit of so many private independent opinions given in honesty and not as gossip. You will be able to grow and share your expertise on dancing experience, health and creativity with a lot of people. Being a contributor automatically makes them eligible to be an Invited Writer, able to create their own blog within any blog of their choosing.

"Hanalei Moon" by Loyal Garner

 We may dance in the streets with masks on?

Our blogs come with their ready made readers and if that time comes, - you are ready. There is no registration required and no registration fees. There are no annual or monthly meeting or dues. And they may contribute whatever and whenever they wish. I hope I am not being too strict but we will have Social Media on Oahu. And ultimately, the blog will be ready for independence. Town Dance is just about ready. A couple of steady Guest Bloggers and they will be ready to go. The best blog will become independent and the junk blogs will remain mine.

"The creative person is motivated by the desire to achieve,
not by the desire to be better than others."

The Information Contributors.

It is now evident that with the average hits per day slowing down we need more Information Contributors. We know so many people that have something to say and are willing to share it with our fellow dancers. That's it. All of us believe that knowledge should be shared, especially with whomever can gain from it without learning the hard way, as we so often do. You can see it in many Micros, - Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook. Groups of people trying to communicate with each other and they do very well indeed.

"Social dancers believe that in the unlikely story that is dancing on Oahu,

there has never been anything false about hope."

My five blogs are running mainly on what is referred to in Blogging as SOS. (same old shit.) And when I have said blue on Monday, and blue on Wednesday, we all know. And on Friday someone writes in and says "Green," - now that is not SOS. No matter what color you choose. The readers are happier and I am sure that there are plenty of other reasons for the interest in the new information. It also lightens up my own contribution load. The problem with being a small timer who blogs is that I am often focused on other aspects of staying alive and don't have a ton of time to write content for my blogs. This helps out.

"The Molokai Waltz" by Amy Hanaialii

So I can either publish, say, one post a week, or have such an erratic publishing schedule that people don't know when to expect new content from my blogs. We are lucky to have a smaller audience than the Micros, that have audiences in the millions, in the entire US. Canada, Latin America, etc. Is there a benefit to publishing for the dancers on Oahu? Of course there is! These are our people and there over 40000 dancers on this Island. I'm a big fan of having other people's opinions contributed as content to my blogs, and perhaps we can see my best blog become independent. Maybe this year.

"Social dancers believe that hope has always been a renewable option: If you run

out of it at the end of the day, you get to start over in the morning."

Blogging?

With no dancing to report, my five blogs are stabilizing themselves at not quite 20 average hits per day. With dancing they could go over 33 average hits per day which would be 1000 hits per month and quite respectable. So I have another problem, as the instigator of all this mess, I want to wean the best blog out. But how do I get the best blog? With a Guest Blogger, a person with dance ideas that is willing to share them with our fellow dancers.

“Social dancers believe that it's the possibility that keeps us going,

not the guarantee.”

I need your "pen name" and email address and the blog of your choice. I send the info to Blogger and they send the invitation to be a Guest Blogger. Password is between you and Blogger. You can then get in, on your own, post a paragraph or two, a graphic or whatever, save it, publish or even delete it. All without saying boo to anyone. In effect it is your own blog within the blog. I can coach you by email. We do not have a censor, so you can write whatever you damn well please. Your name will be on it and you are solely responsible for the content.

"My Molokai Woman" by Willie K

Those were the days, and they may return.

Guest Bloggers do not need a degree in Journalism. All you need is something to say and make it plain, simple and to the point. Social Media is something we are all in the process of learning. Web sites are good for their purpose but nothing beats a blog . When we gets more Guest Authors and around 66 average hits per day (2000 per month.) you will not need me any more, I can resign and it is all yours. And I can dedicate myself to the junk blogs. Please consider that blogs are "additional," not an "instead of" public relations.

“Social dancers believe that in this world so lately filled with hate,

we can still dare to hope"

 

American Style of Dance

On Oahu, this is much the style you will see going out for a night of dancing on the town or at the smaller social dance clubs. American style has two genres of dance within itself – Smooth and Rhythm. Smooth consists of Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, and Viennese Waltz, while Rhythm has Cha-Cha, Rumba, East Coast Swing, Mambo and Bolero. In Social Dancing, the Viennese Waltz and the Bolero are easily omitted and others such as Merengue, Bachata and Salsa may be added. Most of us agree that our DJ's are terrific.

“Yesterday is but a dream, Tomorrow is only a vision. But today

 well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.”

The style as a whole was derived from International and was developed in the United States with the rise of Swing before WWII. American style is more relaxed, letting movements have a great deal of freedom. This makes the style excellent for phasing into social dancing. The steps are designed to be done in whatever order the leader chooses and with generous leeway in regards to alignments. Dancers are allowed to break frame in Smooth, making for very grand expressions and arm styling as they move around the floor. Also, in Rhythm, Cuban motion in the hips is achieved by stepping on the bent leg and flexing the knee.

"Fly Me To The Moon" by Jimmy Borges

Hawaii may be coming out it. Let keep doing what we are doing right.

Being so open to the creativity and individuality of dancers is what has made the American style so popular. This has also allowed for several variations of the same step to flourish. Artistic license, attitude and personal style shine through while dancing American. This has led very definitely in this century into Social Dance on Oahu. However, despite all of the freedoms, the following remains constant – each dance is started with the left foot for the lead and the right foot for the follow. Meanwhile we continue to test, wear our masks, respect social distance and we shall dance again.

"Social dancers believe that hope is precious,

and you may be right not to give up.”

Keeping Up

On my Facebook account, I have many "friends" discussing food and lately I seem to have a lot of Chinese Food Friends centralize around Marie Laderta. Chinese food has a very good reputation on Oahu. Though there are some people that think the rice-heavy meals and fatty meat dishes are thought to lead straight to obesity and heart disease. But properly prepared, the very opposite is true: the Chinese way of eating is healthy and fulfilling, fights illness and prolongs life. The Chinese don't count calories and the real Chinese diet won't make you fat.

"Social dancers believe that hope is the only thing stronger than fear,"

The rising levels of obesity observable in China are in fact caused by sugary, over processed Western food. So stop counting calories the Chinese don't have a word for "calories". They view food as nourishment, not potential weight gain. A 2000 survey found that Chinese people consumed 20 per cent more calories than Americans, but were not necessarily more active. Their secret is avoiding the empty calories of sugary, nutrient-free foods. The favorite Chinese Snack on Oahu seems to be Dim Sum. Tea Cakes. But on my Facebook, these people cover an awful lot of goodies

"Tiny Bubbles" by Don Ho

The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire occurred in the 16th century. The basic staples were quite varied and the basic native foods remain such as corn, beans, squash and chili peppers, but the Europeans introduced many other foods, the most important of which were meat from domesticated animals, dairy products (especially cheese) and various herbs and spices, although key spices in Mexican cuisine are also native to Mesoamerica such as a large variety of chili peppers. On Oahu it is second favorite after Chinese food. Bon Appetit.

"Social dancers don’t think too much of all the misery,

but of the beauty that possibly still remains."

What Evah

The real solo dance is just dancing by yourself. And yes, it is very different and usually done as an exhibition. A solo dance is danced by an individual dancing alone. It is nice because if anything goes wrong in a solo, they can make it up as they go along without anyone knowing and it will look just fine. It is rarely done in our local dance scene.

That is different from groups of individuals dancing simultaneously in a coordinated manner. Line Dancing is the most popular of the collective solo dances on the Island of Oahu at the moment and it may have attained its point of diminishing returns as separate groups. However, they seem to become a fixed intermission dance and anyone can get in. And the only negative is LAGS,
 

"Tiny Bubbles" by Don Ho

We are gradually adjusting to staying home with the hope that it will end soon. Hawaii is doing very well, with no deaths on the other islands except Oahu and Maui. The World Wide standards are testing, masks and social distance and that is what we are doing. And let us keep away from the Trump Protesters. They are more likely to be contaminated. And I sure hope they keep away from me and my friends. They can infect their own group all they want, just keep away the hell away from me.

"Fly Me To The Moon" by Jimmy Borges

The Prayer: From the Internet

Father,

I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those that I care deeply for, who are reading this right now. -  Show them a new revelation of Your love and power - Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment when we are pending - Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy - where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace - Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs - Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings.   Amen

We Kick It Around.

In many countries dance teachers tell their students, "Walk your kilometers. Do not be distracted by fancy steps until you are prepared." On Oahu, LAGS (Latest And Greatest Syndrome) has been very prevalent, Specially for those that are clearly in Silver and Gold Divisions. The music may become less important and the beautiful moves are the "Dance." The participation in any Exhibition will interest most in learning the latest beautiful dance moves. And let us face it most of them look beautiful, when well executed.

“Strange as it may seem, social dancers can still hope for the best

and it may be right around the corner."

On Oahu you learn basic including your street dancing and it has been a little like your freshman year of high school. You have learned a variety of subjects with a variety of teachers. You have created bonds with classmates that can last a lifetime. Your freshman year in dance is your rite of passage, a non-stop growth spurt, and while you may not be the greatest, you have been building a foundation for future success. Bronze level (Basic) is that level that every advanced dancer looks back on with a deep appreciation. It's the level where you learned to dance. Have fun while you are going through the basics. Enjoy the trip on the social dance floor when we get back to it, - it will be well worth it.

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" by Bruddah Iz

Social dancers are sure, there will come a day.

And on Oahu, we have been fortunate in having some of the best dance teachers in the Pacific. Teachers with empathy that want to see their students thrive. Having a teacher who’s able to walk – or dance, in your shoes and understands where you’re coming from can do wonders for your confidence and dancing abilities. A terrific dance teacher sees past the stumbling and awkwardness of a beginner, and is willing to put time and energy into shaping that student, to help them become the best that they can be. The best teachers always see the end result: a wonderful dancer. Our best dancers credit their success to their exceptional teachers who have been friends and have had a love for the dance.

“Social dancers believe that in a political world filled with hate,

we can still dare to hope."

 

Optimism

Most of us believe that education should be furnished free to all the citizens of this country. The republicans think everyone should pay through the nose. This country was set up for "We the people." not for "we the billionaires." Our government could make sure that the citizens have access to things like good transportation, safe neighborhoods, healthy food, quality health care services, etc that are required for them to be fully functioning citizens in our society. Medical Care for all? Of course. Democratic Socialism.

"Our government. and we know there have been tyrants and dictators,

and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end,

they always fall. Think of it -- always.”

If we did that, and make sure that the ones on the bottom have enough for their basic needs, they will not invest but spend the money on their needs. We would have a stronger workforce and a more entrepreneurial and innovative society that would drive wealth creation in the US that will “trickle up” to the wealthiest people in the US. The American dream has always been about opportunity. You can start out with little and through hard work and a good body and mind, you can make good, lead yourself and your family to a better life.

"Morning Dew" by Melveen Leed

Maybe by August First. Unless the Trump Protesters mess it up.

Meanwhile back at ranch, we are thinking that a social dance is any dance that is done purely for pleasure, with other people, as opposed for performance or competition purposes. Social ballroom  It doesn't look as good as performance or competition dancing, but the focus is on the people actually dancing, and not impressing judges. Could be that they are the real dancers because the dance is more important than the music. Where as with us dreamers, we just love moving to our favorite music.

"Social dancers believe that things work out best for

those who make the best of how things work out."

Catching Up

Plandemic is a 26-minute conspiracy theory video released in May 2020 that promotes a variety of falsehoods and misinformation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was produced by Mikki Willis's California-based production company Elevate, which has produced other conspiracist videos in the past. The producers of the video state that it is a trailer for an upcoming film to be released in summer 2020. They convincingly prove that they are right and the rest of the world is wrong. They don't convince me.

"Social dancers never give up. They have hope and expect the good from life."

So far, 99.99% of the world accept the data of test and test. Masks and social distancing is no guarantee but way way ahead of any else.We in Hawaii have stopped viewing masks as a sign of disease, and see them instead as a social kindness, a courtesy as common as “Please” and “Mahalo.” In Hawaii we are learning to wear masks to protect ourselves from infections, but, even more important, to show consideration for others on our island. No matter what Trump and the Christian Evangelicals are selling for the love of Jesus. Keep away from Trump Protesters, specially keep them away from your family and friends. They are more likely to be infected.

"Molokai Waltz" by Amy Hanaialii

Our day will come, patience.

Social Dancing is one of the three divisions of Ballroom Dance, along with Exhibition Dancing and Competitive Dancing. Exhibition dancing is choreographed Ballroom Dancing, where movements and lines of a theatrical nature are used to enhance the atmosphere of a dance that is performed before an audience. Competition is more strict because they must be judged and use the same rules for every one. In Social Dancing we just got a little more freedom and the dancers make their preferences.

 “You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us.

And the world will live as one.”  ― John Lennon

Dis N Dat

We are having time to think and talk things over with friends. In the next decade, many American workers will be at risk of losing their jobs to new technologies. Unlike with previous waves of automation, this time new jobs will not appear quickly enough in large enough numbers to make up for it. To avoid an unprecedented crisis, many people, not Republicans, are going to have to find a new solution, unlike anything we’ve done before. It all begins with the universal basic income for all American adults, no strings attached. A foundation on which a stable, prosperous, and just society for all can be built. Andrew Yang, are you there?

"Social dancers believe that the world may not be perfect but it is not without hope."

Some people are doing it, not me. I spend 8 hours per day just taking care of my medical physical needs. But I do get some news, - Organize your music playlist and add new songs, - Start reading the book you always wanted to read, - Take a peak at your Bible, - Arrange your closet according to color, occasions, or outfits, - Stretch those muscles, make sure to workout, dancing? Keep refreshed and stay warm, - Learn a new thing to do, for example, knitting or painting,- Cook a new meal or even create your own recipe. Stay safe, masks and social distancing.

"Hanalei Moon" by Loyal Garner

Patience and we will dance again.

No dancing that we know of for the moment so we have nothing. Outside dance information and photos have been crucial to the presentation of any dance blog. Web and other graphic designers had been working creatively for many social dance clubs, dance studios and night clubs which meant that the reader/dancers are not really involved much. In traditional Public Relations, creativity has often been applied only to media pitches, story angles, or dissembling about a topic that citizens already know more about than they do. Our reader/dancers are not clones and each one has their own honest opinion and there is the value that we looking for. Hopefully some will be willing to share their opinions with our fellow dancers.

“Social dancers may still hope to leave this world
a little bit better than when they got here.”

Line Dancing

Line Dancing on Oahu as been very well accepted in most dance venues as part of the dance scene. Unfortunately we have had a ratio of about, 5 to 1, women to men. We need more men and how we gonna do that?  Tough, for the simple reason that if we get more men, we will get more women. Line dancing also happens to be a place where it might do the most good for single men. Starting with the social opportunity to become acquainted with many more women. Nowadays, anyone can learn the preliminaries easily on line if you have a computer.

"Social dancers believe that if you keep on dancing with

hope in your heart, you’ll never dance alone."

1. Learn the counts. Line dancing is not hard when you can count the entire choreography as you do it. Each single step, hip movement, or wobble has to be timed to the music.

2. Distinguish between a “step” and a “touch”. A step is when you change your weight on the foot and a touch is when you do not change weight on the foot. Touches are very commonly used to switch directions so make sure you know when its a touch versus a step.

3. The magic is in between the steps. While the steps and the counts are set, the way you dance in between is what counts. Put your own style into the steps. You can do many different things with your hips, upper torso and arms to be unique.

Line Dancers can become accustomed to the same basic movements and the same type of music used in partner dancing. And since they don't have to worry about leading they can relax and develop their own style characteristic of each dance to suit themselves.

As social dancers, men and women will understand when they are fully awake that they have infinite power to help change our dance world by simply living the change they want to see. Judging for themselves and not just what others tell them. They may like to make sure that their opinions are heard. If just a small minority of men and women took steps to do this, it would shake the dance establishment to its core. Then they would also have the opportunity to convey an opinion in any blog, knowing that they have a receptive readership, simply because it is a unique opinion.

"Social dancers believe that hope may be a ray of sunshine breaking thru the clouds

after the storm. Faith is knowing there are more where that one came from."

So What's Doin'?

Biggest news is OBAMAGATE, the most horrible crime ever committed on earth according to Trump and let's face it, he knows everything. After running this government almost into the ground in three years He made a discovery, OBAMAGATE is to blame. That is the reason his disorganization is all messed up. He does not know what giving all the money to the rich is doing to the country. Now McConnell agrees with Trump. The Trump Plague has been a disaster, the blame is easy, OBAMAGATE. And Fox News is getting on it. MONEY, MONEY AND MORE MONEY.

"Social dancers believe that hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make their dreams into reality."

On the Oahu dance scene, we are still in lockdown. Those with phones have found it easier to contact their friends on Oahu, Hawaii and even make foreign calls. Those with computers have a wider range of communication. Email, which works about the same as the phone and we can all contact our friends in the same fashion. But we have much more, the Micros, such as Twitter and Facebook which can give us much more information. Blogs are for more sophistication.

Maybe by July 1st. Hope, Hope, Hope

However, to connect to any websites and display its web pages, a user must have a web browser. I have three, Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Google Chrome.

"Social dancers believe that to be without hope is like being
without goals, what are you working for?
 

Freedom

Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint, and the absence of a despotic government. Freedom of speech is the right of people to express their opinions publicly without governmental interference. And everyone wants freedom. Of course, Protestors want freedom and they don't give a damn if I want my freedom. They even carry automatic machine guns to enforce their right to freedom. And they don't give a damn about my rights. Is there something wrong there?

"There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic

so powerful as the expectation of something good tomorrow."

These Protestors are different and they do not want to do as we do to keep from dying to the Trump Plague. Yes, they do have that right but not in my backyard where you are going to infect my family and friends. You can do that in your own places and we could help you find the places where you can infect your own people all you want. We will know what places to keep away from and what people to keep away from us. That's OK with me. That is your freedom. My freedom wants to protect my own, my way, not yours. I consider this a matter of life or death and I will not take any of your shit.

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" by Bruddah Iz

We are doing good and it may be soon. Hang in there.

Meanwhile Hawaii is doing very well, and there is a gradual opening. We shall see what we shall see. Meanwhile, we will continue to wear our masks and respect social distance. Wash our hands at every opportunity. We in Hawaii must stop viewing masks as a sign of disease, and see them instead as a social kindness, a courtesy as common as “Please” and “Mahalo.” In Hawaii we are learning to wear masks to protect ourselves from infections, but, even more important, to show consideration for others on our island.

"Social dancers believe that hope allows us to look at the future optimistically

and to see opportunities instead of challenges."

 

 

Lockdown

In South Korea, one of the most efficient countries in control of Covid 19. officials began relaxing some social distancing restrictions in early May as new case numbers dwindled to just a few a day. But dozens of new cases have been confirmed in this last week, nearly all of them linked to nightclubs in the Itaewon district of Seoul. Authorities have been on high alert since a 29-year-old man who visited several bars and nightclubs in early May tested positive. He is believed to be at least one of the individuals behind the new cluster. More than 100 people have tested positive and some 5,500 may have visited bars and nightclubs in the area around the same time as the infected individuals.

"Social dancers can tell you that hope is precious, and you’re right not to give up.” 

So a good Control Group could be set up in a Honolulu Night Club with a Big Sign saying "Protestors." No testing required, no masks, no social distancing required. Nor Automatic Machine guns either. Just for Protestors, Trump Chumps, that want their freedom and willing to take their chances. They can infect each other without infecting us. And as far as we are concerned they will all be Trump Lumps. The rest of us can avoid those places (100 yards) and try to keep any of of those people away from us We can also keep doing what we have been doing to wipe out this Trump Plague. The hospitals can also be aware of the locations of the probable casualties.

"Fly Me To The Moon" by Jimmy Borges.

Our day will come.

At home most of us have found many things to do. The best, of course is simply moving to our favorite music, doing our favorite moves and getting the necessary exercise that we need. Those with a computer have probably found many musical goodies, many with a nice song video that make it pleasant to watch.Then there are the lessons available. Just beautiful. However Trump keep screwing it all up and we don't know how long this is going to take.

"We cannot let our people lose their hope for the future, for we
would surely watch them die a slow death in front of us."
