Aloha Pepe,
Been following your blogs regularly since I discovered them earlier this year. You helped me once before with the mailer you sent out when I first started dancing 3+ years ago.
The reason I wanted to contact you is so maybe you could add Dot's in Wahiawa as a dance venue in your blog. I notice that you are open to spreading the word about all dance opportunities unlike Mary Beth who refuses to list Dots.
Dot's has been featuring live dance music in their Banquet Hall on Fridays for several months. Some Fridays they had no music listed due to private functions.
I got wind of the music at Dot's a couple of months ago and have attended about 5 times. I have danced to Wasabi, The Oldies & Goodies Band, Island Storm and this past Friday Audissey w/guest bands 808 Easy Street (Amazing Kalapana, America covers...Close your eyes and it sounds like a CD) and Chaotic 5 (a smoking preteen group that does Heart, Joan Jett, Journey etc.) I suspect that you've heard most of the groups mentioned and know just how good they all are.
"Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" by Three Dog Night
Dot's can hold over a hundred people easily, the drinks are reasonable and pupus are available.
The wood dance floor (I need to measure it) can hold 12 couples easily and they leave the polished cement floor fronting it open. This adds twice the dance room. The crowd usually numbers around 60-80 but few dancers have taken advantage of this venue.
"Which Way You Goin' Billy?" by The Poppy Family
Honestly, It may not have the decor of the Warriors or Rumors but you get more bang for the buck as far as social dance.
I have the November/December Calendar of events but for some reason my scanner is not working. Sigh. I'll bring a copy to the Pearl Elks for you on Tuesday.
Mahalo,
Richard
