Tough Going

With the reorganization of the blogs they all came out smelling like a rose except Moanalua Corridor. So, I've got it to the middle twenties average hits per day but I no longer am in condition to get around like I used to. So it is imperative for this blog to get one or two regular Two Centers contributing information and photos to share with friends, relatives and fellow dancers. Anything to do with dancing and even more.

"Happiness is not something you plan for the future,

it is something you design for the present."

Of course, the most valuable would be the volunteer to be a guest author and open their own blog within the blog. All they will need is the password from Blogger. Preferably a person that lives in the territory. I can coach them to the tricks of the trade over the internet. They can get in and out, post photos, write whenever and whatever they want. No registration fees, annual meetings or dues, and no monthly meetings either.

This section has always had the potential, they have over 5000 dancers living here. But now with the Rail Crisis, it is going to be shambles. They are all going to need some help. And we are here in the Public Relations department or is it phasing over into "Social Media?" We do not know what it is either but we can help.

Da Rail Mess

The Rail Disaster is already playing hell in the Moanalua Corridor area but it is not so bad on the Coast yet. We must do everything we can to avoid that mess because it is gonna get pretty bad.

"Do not fear to repeat what has already been said. People need
the truth dinned into their ears many times and from all sides.
The first rumor makes them prick up their ears, the second
registers, and the third finally enters."

People in the Moanalua area are already looking to get as far away from the noise of the Rail Catastrophe as they can. Kalihi Valley getting a lot of interest. The central valley going up Waipio to the North Shore also looking good. Of course the Present Rail Party trying to stop all construction of Industrial Parks. Residents can be home in 20 minutes and that means no riders.

So the people in the entire state are realizing that the Rail Fiasco is not going to do the people of Oahu any good. Development of the East, North and West shores is coming about, in spite of the stumbling blocks put out by the Present Rail Party. Those shores are about as far away as we can get from that rail doom. We may yet live in Paradise.

"Sch-Boom, Life Could Be Dream" by the Crew Cuts.

But we know its the profits those people intend to make. Billions and Billions of dollars in profits. But what is life without a few problems? New estimates on the Rail Mess going up to eight billion dollars. Hey, that's only for starters. These people are out for blood.

Latin Music and Dance

Everybody knows and nobody knows. Latin music and dance has been with us since the turn of the 20th century. And it first was Mexican music and dance because the Mexicans were already living in the United States. But of course, it mostly was "their music," just like the Negro music was "their music."

"Yes, you may find each day too short for all the thoughts you want to think -
all the walks you want to take -  all the books you want to read -
and all the friends you want to see."

It was not until the Roaring Twenties that the ruling class began to accept Negro music along with Latin. By that time too, there was an acceptance of the Cuban Rumba, the Brazilian Samba and the Argentine Tango. It was Latin music and dance but not really. Each was from a different country and each had a marked difference in style from the others.

As the Caribbean music and dance began to be introduced by the Portoriccans in New York and the Cubans in Florida, the entire East coast began to take notice. Latin music took on a definite Caribbean sound. Mexican music continue with increase diversification according to the different areas in Mexico. Musica Nortena is music from the northern part of Mexico and has the biggest base in the US, naturally, However there are people coming to the US from many different parts of Mexico with the resultant preference in music and dance.

Mexican music has been tried on Oahu but there were just too many different styles and they couldn't get an entire audience to enjoy it all. What is very loosely developing now among the American Style dancers is Latin music and dance based on the American Style, Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Merengue, Mambo, Tango and perhaps Swing. Anything else to be added is gingerbread.

We have not heard of anyone in East Honolulu doing this type of dancing, except within their own parameters. Perhaps somebody will soon.

A Work In Process

The Moanaulu Corridor is in process of rebuilding the devastation that will be left by the Rail Disaster. So everyone must plan on at least four blocks away from the NOISE of steel on steel. Most people do not have an idea yet of that horrible sound. All the search engines on the Internet are geared for what is coming. Search for West Oahu Night Clubs and they have a hundred places to go to - In Waikiki. Got it?

"Sometimes we must close some doors, not because of pride, incapacity or ignorance but simply because they do not lead somewhere."

But people in this century want to live, work and play nearby. Too many of our legislators think only about the big bucks, the Rail Mess is not all Pork. It is going to cost big bucks for the taxpayers and the hell with the people. Fortunate we are getting more progressive thinking in this corridor and there will be a new dance club in the Salt Lake, Foster Village area.

I heard about a new HBDA studio in Aiea, but nothing official from anyone yet. Unfortunately it will be too close to the Rail Catastrophe. At one time it was a beautiful location. Meanwhile, we await to print whatever news we can get for the dancers.

Pub's Side Note: Three of the most powerful tools for marketing a dance organization's services and products is through their Newsletters, Web and Blog sites. The benefits are many and it is the least expensive PR. They keep the organization's Name out in front of potential and current members, the media and Ballroom Dance Professionals.

Not Going Through The Roof.

The blogs are staying steady even with the big mess in Town Dancer. Russia has two Robot hitters and messing up the real hits. Must be patient, Blogger cannot do anything, perhaps another week. Connections with Facebook, Pinterest and Google Plus just working but I don't understand much of it.

That is what he said, "I can only please one person per day.

Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look so hot either."

Twitter I am beginning to understand much better. I have reduced much of any outside of the Hawaiian Islands and I am getting plenty there even in following only those with less than 1000 total following and followers. But it does make it much more Social Media instead of some kind of huge conglomerate of information.

In four Twitters I have almost one thousand that I am following and I am getting additional followers by a few everyday. I probably should begin to slow down when I get to 200 followers in each Twitter. Then I can tweak to keep those interested in dancing.
