Dance Beat 1993 Rerun #74

Written by Colin Hillary, twenty years ago:

In the more ignoble forms "winning" might simply be the result of running faster or climbing quicker if being pursued by some hungry carnivore. As was said all those years during the introduction of the Wide World of Sports - 'The human drama of competition, bringing you the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat."

"We share much information in our blogs and as in any human

endeavor,the more one knows what they are about,

the better their results will be."

In our modern and complex  society, technology has opened the vast new area of further human competition. Contests of uniquely human skills involving instruments and materials which are consistently being refined and developed. Then we added rules and equipment, formed into teams, created time limits and in some cases even made other animals do the work.

As if this wasn't complicated enough, we even devised a way of having other humans "decide" who was the winner based on their evaluation of a performance or demonstration of skill. It was really the only way to produce a winner, at least in the minds of the participants and aficionados of such human endeavors as diving, gymnastics, ice skating and ... competition dancing! ****

"It is far better to be 0-for-10 than to be 0-for-0."

We have had almost 20 different dance entities appearing in our  blogs.  Social Dance Clubs, Chapters, Night Clubs, Web and Blog sites. Most have been very light. However there will be another dance club coming soon (Oahu East?) and they will take full advantage of the power in our blogs. Everyone will see the difference, now that I am beginning to know how this communication works.
