Christmas is almost here.

As the ending of year is here we could acknowledge the Ultimate Stress Buster, - our social dancing. Do you wish to recover from a grueling week at work? Adult social dance parties have the power to do that. These casual events may allow you to unwind and just be. The peppy music, the lively atmosphere and fun company are enough to bring back any lost stamina. They may also help you feel confident and happy. In addition to that, all that moving and grooving may make your body feel better and active. Of course, it directly affects your health and boosts your happy hormones. WE GOT IT, BABY!

"Social dancers believe that there is a simple beauty to social dancing

and you will live as long as you dance."

We do need to communicate much better on this Island. We are in too many small pieces and we may do better if we are Island Wide - Oahu. Verbally we are doing very well. Terminology, not bad and the dancers will change it to suit themselves, not from any "rules up above."

"Fly Me To The Moon" by Jimmy Borges

Caberet Dancing; Athletic exhibition type dancing done in Night Clubs using very few standard steps. Mostly Trick or Unique movements rarely seen on our regular dance floors. Call: A verbal pattern usually used by instructors. Movements that characterize the steps of the figure such as "slow, quick, quick" or 'forward, side together." Camel Hip: Projection of the hip to the opposite side of the step, such as Merengue. Casual Attire: Usually means no coat or tie. Comfortable.

"Maui Waltz" by Loyal Garner

CBM: Contrary Body Movement (English) also known as Contra Body Movement in Hawaii. Contra and Contrary are identical terms. It is the movement of the body turning the opposite hip and shoulder toward the direction of the moving leg. It is usually used to begin all turning movements.

"Social Dancers may need a quick reminder to be themselves,

live life to the fullest, or follow their dreams."

Wahiawa Christmas Shindig

Nice day to prepare for the big Christmas shindig at Halemano Plantation. Camera, ready, only got one camera, paper to write notes, pencil. My medications, my Rum and Coke.and my right clothes. The Handi Van was to pick me up at 5 but arrived a little early but it was alright with me. Got to the place about 5:30 and there was already a nice crowd there, looking happy.

Nice people. Wonderful Celebration. Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year..Wishing good health, and God's Blessings
for my wife and families, ~ Monday Verzon

It was not easy to find a place to park my Rolador and sit. I have to move around and come back to the same place. And I take my seat with me. The people are so helpful and I got a place near the DJ and fairly comfortable. I have to look around and find some who can push the button on my camera and take a few pictures. Not coming out too good which of course happens with professional photographers too. This point and shoot camera cost about 70 bucks so perhaps someone can suggest a better camera. I may have enough photos for all five blogs, if I get some by email, but so far, nothing. I make each blog with three collages and each collage with six photos.

The leisurely pace of the arriving dancers is nice. No one is in a hurry to find the place where they will spent the evening, Greeting old friends, getting your pupus and drinks, talking story, listening to the beautiful music, and some are even dancing. Hey, this is social dancing to da max, a party. Fortunately we got a lot of photos from Richard. First three blogs were, Social Dance Oahu, Oahu Dancers and Dancing Nights. I may make tomorrow Dance And Live. Mahalo.

"I love Christmas. I love dancing with WBDC. They are fun people~ Gloria Pfister.

My views are not enough to do justice to such a great occasion as this. On Oahu, everyone is beginning to know Social Dancers. Now we must get feedback to make this Social Media. Wha' dat?  Many of you do not know it yet but a few of you are going give me some good feedback. And you will help me get rid of my best blog. I wish all of you a very Happy Year End Season..

Three collages is 18 photos and that is just about enough for any blog. But we are lucky and we have many more photos now than before. So even for the ones we must delete, we have enough to post to the other blogs. Why Not? Tomorrow it will be Dance And Live blog. And the readers on this Island will see what is going on in the Central Valley. Yes, I know, with Facebook and Twitter, I might get a reader in Nigeria, or Lower Slobbavia, but I am content with the Island of Oahu. Mahalo.
