I am sure "everybody" knows "somebody" in this dance group: There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. Consequently, it wound up that Nobody told Anybody, so Everybody blamed Somebody. Everybody got that?
There are different opinions but generally in Hawaii 15% of the men do some dancing and 25% of the women do some dancing. Approximately 200 thousand dancers on Oahu and of course, not all are the same kind of dancers. Can we, as Social Dancers do something with this? For instance, watch our people during a line dance. 90% women. Seriously, the men would rather play baseball. I cannot do anything but perhaps social dancers as a group will think of something to equalize things for the benefit of all.
The Dance Studios have been important and will continue to be so. However there will some changes in the social dance clubs and the dance night clubs. Much more kokua than we have seen in the past. When many were disrespecting each other for not dancing the "correct" way. A definite division of "Young" night clubs and the ones for the more experienced dancers. Social dancers have been accepting a couple of line dances a part of the night's program. And if the DJ forgets a Paso Doble there may not be any complaints. A beautiful dance and in the syllabi of the International Style of Dance. A must for their people and understandable.

and focus on the brightest that may be just ahead."
