The standard dances are the ones that will be playing on Oahu in the near future. And what are the standard dances? We, the social dancers, will determine that and develop our own syllabi. A few of the dances in the American and International are being phased out now. When was the last time you dropped into a night club for a little Paso Doble? Beautiful dance? Of course. The group of dances will involve into the recreational, cultural dance. The Pau Hana dance is coming, because of the increased traffic, instead of a Happy Hour. The Pau Hana Dance will have less drink, more dancing and more talk story with friends and relaxation in the middle of the week than any other form of entertainment.
The music will not be played, incessantly non stop as it has been done in many places for so long. Music inherently depends on silence in some form or another to distinguish other periods of sound and allow dynamics, melodies and rhythms to have greater impact. The is one of the reasons Live Music is so pleasant, between songs and the Intermission. Very nicely accepted by the most experienced dancers. Most music scores feature rests denoting periods of silence. Accomplished composers don't take all their best ideas and muddy the listener's experience by rattling on and on.
These artists know how to communicate their ideas clearly. Listen to the space between the phrases. Listen to how silence is used as a color, and not simply as the lifeless backdrop of compositions. Silence, when used effectively, is a color.There will gradually be the acceptance of silence of 30 second intervals or more, which will be a welcomed respite for all. The same as the old days when the band had a little time between tunes and we had a time for a little relaxation. The non-stop can be nice for the kids, let them enjoy theirs.
